REM
Research Exploitation Manager (REM) was developed for
Dstl (Naval Systems), a part of the
UK MOD, to demonstrate the feasibility of applying roadmapping
techniques to assist the Director Equipment Capability (Above Water Effects)
(DEC(AWE)) in the management of his research portfolio.
REM is a stand alone desktop database application that uses MS Access™ to store
and trace the relationships between shortfalls in current or planned future
capability, the concepts which offer potential solutions to these shortfalls,
the research which is directed at these solutions and the equipment programmes
which actually exploit the research and provide the capability. In addition,
REM provides a suite of graphical visualisation facilities which present the
underlying information as GANTT charts or relationship diagrams.
REM has been in use since 2002, and its underlying philosophy has been
incorporated into a Web based roadmapping system which is now being deployed
across the UK MOD.
