Smart Carrier

Abstract

The Smart Carrier Demonstration and Validation program exploits available technologies to deliver an affordable, robust, operator-friendly automation control environment for Navy Aircraft Carrier shipboard equipment. The program provides the system architecture, requirements/specification development, technology selection, software development (including software baseline), as well as land-based and shipboard testing of new technologies to improve shipboard operations and to reduce workload, manpower requirements, and Total Ownership Costs. Initial technologies include Aviation Fuels (JP-5) Automation, the Advanced Damage Control System (ADCS), Automated Material Handling Systems, Damage Control Inventory Management and Stowage System (DCIMSS), List Control, Firemain Control, Integrated Condition Assessment System, Interior Communications/Systems Monitoring Alarm Upgrades, and the Digital Video Surveillance System. Demonstration technologies include Advanced Damage Control System (ADCS) software improvements, Electronic Valve Operator automation, Superior Sound Technology, Vibration Monitoring/Rotating Machinery Diagnostic Tools, Flat Plane Speakers, Smart Circuit Breakers, Distilling Unit Automation, Reboiler Automation, In-line Aviation Fuels Sampling, Advanced Oil Purification System, Oil Monitoring Sensors, and Voice Interactive Display. Wireless systems, smart sensors, knowledge-based systems, automated casualty control, automated technology for workload reduction, linked smart devices, common software tools for interoperability, and self-healing network are technologies being considered for future applications. Multi Mission Helicopter. Upgrades to legacy systems will enable exchange of sensor, tactical and imagery data with the MH-60R initially and eventually with P-8 and Broad Area
