In-Service Carrier Systems Development

Abstract

The In-Service Carrier Systems 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 the Ship Control System Governor Software Development, Tank Preservation, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Replacements, Advanced Damage Control System (ADCS), Weapons Elevator Control Accumulator Replacement, and the Integrated Condition Assessment System. Demonstration technologies include Advanced Damage Control System (ADCS) software improvements, A/C Plant Model, Input/Output Controller (IOC) Replacement, Fleet Wireless Personal digital Assistant (PDA), Weapons Elevator Laser Positioning System, Legacy Steering Interface upgrades, CVN Integrated Topside Design (ITD) location option evaluation tools, Antenna to Antenna coupling analysis tools. Wireless systems, smart sensors, lighting systems, 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 including the following: Integrated Bridge control Data Logger, C4I Network Performance Modeling and Analysis, NCDS Packet Filtering Device, Network Data Logger Device, Portable Communication System (PCS) proof of concept, Ship Control System (SCS) Onboard trainer, Universal Portable Command and Control Unit (PCCU).
