The interactive on-site inspection system: An information management system to support arms control inspections

Abstract

The increasing use of on-site inspection (OSI) to meet the nation's obligations with recently signed treaties requires the nation to manage a variety of inspection requirements. This document describes a prototype automated system to assist in the preparation and management of these inspections.
