A MODERN MACHINERY CONTROL CONSOLE FOR WARSHIPS

The Canadian Navy has developed an ergonomic machinery control console in which colour CRT displays and computer-generated graphics are the sole vehicle for information display. The selective presentation of information enables the watchkeeper to interact with the machinery systems in a more efficient manner than in the past. This console is designated the Standard Machinery Control Console <SMCC>, and in militarised form can serve as the main machinery control console for any class of warship. The origins and objectives of the project are described, and the salient features of the SMCC in its present form are given. See also next Abstract.
