      <title>SEAKEEPING IN SHIP OPERATIONS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/152154</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Four types of seakeeping intelligence data systems, Optimum Track Ship Routing (OTSR), Tactical Operation Ship Routing (TOSR), Ship Survivability in Extreme Weather (SSEW) and Heavy Weather Operator Guidance (HWOG), can be useful to the operator.  This paper focuses on Heavy Weather Operator Guidance whereby quantitative information is provided to the operator on the behavior of his ship under a set of arbitrary sea conditions as well as guidance on avoiding severe ship motions.  Three methods for transfer of seakeeping intelligence data are described: cataloged onboard guidance; interactive shore/ship guidance; sensor/onboard guidance.  The development of an HWOG Catalog for a typical frigate class is presented and the techniques for implementing the other two methods are outlined.]]></description>

      <title>PROPOSED SHIPBOARD MANEUVERING DATA</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/152157</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper describes the concepts developed by SNAME Panel H-10 (Controllability) for standardized formats designed to present information on a ship's maneuvering characteristics and capabilities.  The information is intended for the practical use of officers and pilots in handling a particular ship.  Proposed data acquisition methods are presented together with samples of the anticipated end products.  The Panel's proposals for standardized maneuvering information are still in draft form, and the authors will welcome comments and criticism thereon.]]></description>

      <title>UDICON--A SOLUTION TO THE GROWING PROBLEM OF SHIPBOARD WIRING COMPLEXITY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/87782</link>
      <description><![CDATA[UDICON--an acronym for Universal Digital Communications Network--is an extremely versatile system of transferring and distributing digital information on board ship.  UDICON is based on the concept of interconnecting lightweight, highly reliable UDICON transceiver (T/R) modules by means of small, armor-protected rf cables.  Each T/R module can simultaneously transmit and receive digital information at the rate of 10 million bits per second.  Complete redundancy of T/R modules and cables along with automatic switching permits automatic rerouting of data in the event of a system casualty.  A UDICON system can be as simple as a single, dedicated data link or as complex as a large, multi-station, time-shared/multiplexed network.  No matter how complex the system, however, the full 10 M Bit/Sec data rate can be made available to a system user.  Thus, UDICON can accommodate an extremely wide variety of data sources ranging from computer outputs, video signals and voice channels down to such relatively low-bandwidth sources as temperature and position sensors and alarms.  UDICON is also capable of maintaining strict timing requirements and is therefore suited to such precise tasks as transmission of weapons system position orders and distribution of real-time clock signals.  Because of its proven reliability and exteme versatility, UDICON provides concrete answers to the growing problem of shipboard wiring complexity.  Order from BSRA as No. 49,493.]]></description>

      <title>SHIP'S MULTIPURPOSE INFORMATION SYSTEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/57366</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The information demands onboard a ship are briefly reviewed, and classification of the various forms of sub-sets is discussed.  Examples of realization of an intergrated information system for 1) a cargo vessel, 2) a factory trawler and 3) a deep sea fishing company are given.]]></description>

      <title>DISSEMINATION OF NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION--THE DISPLAY OF NAVIGATION DATA</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/60649</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The dissemination of navigational information is capable of several different interpretations and this paper will be concerned mainly with the display of information to the navigator of a modern merchant ship.  It is not concerned with the need for more navigational information in certain parts of the world, or the need for new sensors for critical areas of operation.  Most research papers on modern navigational systems launch into technical details without mention of the fundamental partner to the equipment--the man.  The aim of this paper is to encourage an evolution in the presentation of all relevant navigational information, so as to enhance to efficiency of the navigator.]]></description>

      <title>DISSEMINATION OF NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION--INFORMATION ON BOARD SHIP</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/60650</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In this paper the ship is treated as an information handling and processing system with a variety of information sources, sinks and processing areas both internal and external. Information flows and is processed in a variety of patterns depending on a number of variables.  These include the proximity of other ships, the shore or the sea bed, the state of the weather, whether it is day or night and whether the ship is at sea or in port.]]></description>

      <title>A SHIPBOARD REPORT ORIGINATION SYSTEM UTILIZING A MICROCOMPUTER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/50822</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A Report Origination Systems (ROS) has been implemented, using an inexpensive microcomputer system, to help ease the administrative burden facing Navy shipboard managers. The system is an interactive line editing system, with optional prompting, which enables a person who is unfamiliar with the report format to respond to queries in order to edit a highly formatted report. Automatic error checking is performed using a previous edition of the report as a basis. The system allows creation of new formatted reports. The use of a general purpose microcomputer system makes the editing system affordable to a large number of users and also provides a general computing facility for other uses.

      <title>SHIPBOARD INFORMATION SYSTEM VOL. 1: PROJECT SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/3378</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This volume contains the summary and conclusions of the Shipboard Information System project, including the results of the three shipboard tests of the system.  The system, which is designed for use by the U.S. merchant marine, provides information on wage costs, union contract provisions and maintenance and repair activity aboard ship. In addition, the system provides for the computer processing of shipboard payrolls.  Vol. 2 contains the instructions, codes and forms for the system.]]></description>
