Overview

PANDER Systems has been providing the Civil Air Patrol with application tools for over 20 years. As an active CAP member with assignments in Squadrons, Groups, Wings, and the National Staff, Pete Andersen understands the issues and needs of users and the regulatory requirements. His background in the business world as a senior engineer at Intel Corporation and his positions in the CAP have resulted in the development and distribution of two application toolboxes, the Wing Management Utilities (WMU) and the Incident Management Utility (IMU).

The IMU is a workstation based toolbox that provides a set of utilities to assist and force multiply the mission staff's ability to safely and efficiently manage CAP operations missions. PANDER Systems close working relationaship with the CAP National Headquarters staff has allowed the IMU to use member and resource information from e-services and Ops Qual to populate the field databases used in conducting the mission. This relationship also allows information from the mission conducted using the IMU to be uploaded in near real time to WMIRS.

The WMU is a web base toolbox that is designed to assist almost all wing/unit directorates and staff members with tools to assist them in managing and performing thier functions.The tools provide functionality and database maintenance of those areas that do not have a corresponding tool in e-services or Ops Qual at the National Headquarters level. The WMU databases incorporate a daily download of the information contained in the CAP Headquarters database to that the WMU is able to expand the available information to meet the needs of the field. The WMU has a real-time capability to pass information from the WMU to WMIRS making it unnecessary for CAP users of the WMU to have to deal with the WMIRS interfaces. The WMU provides:

The WMU server is being moved because the server rack that we have been using is no longer available to us. We believe that we can port the WMU to another server and we are in the process of doing so. Once we have verified that the move is working, we will change the IP address for the URL. Clearly, this may take a few days to accomplish. Once we have a new IP address, we will publish it here so that it can be used while the URL is being propogated. The IMU has a new item in the setup menu that allows an existing database to be updated from CAPWATCH that can be used if an update is necessary and the WMU is not yet running.
