Weissmuller’s Projects Related to Security Issues

In 1974, Mr. Weissmuller was directed by the National Security Agency (NSA) at Ft. Meade, Maryland to install the Air Force’s Comprehensive Occupational Data Analysis Programs (CODAP) system for their personnel planning purposes.

For various classified studies during the 1970s, Mr. Weissmuller converted Occupational Analysis reporting programs to operate without task and duty statements being display. In this way, non-cleared analysts could “identify” essential work groups based on mathematical results without accessing actual content. Mr. Weissmuller also created a “smart merge” program to re-insert actual text into final reports viewable at a secure location on Goodfellow AFB.

In 1980, Mr. Weissmuller designed and performed the analysis of the first COMFY Olympics. He identified two items as being miss-keyed without ever having seen the text of the question nor the distracters. Note: SENSOR OLYMPICS – Air Intelligence Agency program to test and recognize the best technician in each of that command's AFSCs. Called COMFY OLYMPICS UNDER USAFSS/ESC; PRISIM OLYMPICS under AFIC.

Weissmuller’s Projects Related to Law Enforcement

was associated with the Texas A&M University survey of all Texas Police officers in 1975. Mr. Weissmuller used this project to develop and validate CODAP’s task factor programs. (See AFRHL-TR-76-2).

installed CODAP for Dr. Brian, Graham-Moore, Graduate School of Business and Dr. A. Charnes, Center for Cybernetic Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Later, Mr. Weissmuller consulted with UTA on other projects before their statewide analysis of police officers in Texas. (See Final Report)

installed CODAP for Dr. Richard Branson, Center for Instructional Technology (later the Learning Systems Institute) at Florida State University. Later, Mr. Weissmuller consulted with FSU on their statewide analysis of police officers in Florida. (See Final Report)

processed several generations of operational occupational analyses for Security Police (811X0), Corrections (811X1), and Law Enforcement (811X2) career fields for the Air Force.

used Security Police and Law Enforcement career fields for research studies for validating computer administered surveys (CAS) and the development of new techniques for automating promotion test outlines (ATOs). Many technical papers document these research and development histories.

consulted with the City of Fort Worth in their survey development, administration, and analysis of Patrol Officers. (See 1989 MTA paper: Weissmuller, Staley & West)

analyzed the data from The Law Enforcement Management Institute, Criminal Justice Center at Sam Houston State University at Huntsville, Texas in their state-wide (5,326) survey of police departments in Texas.
