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 as well as addressing equipment obsolescence issues. Initial technologies include the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Replacements, the Integrated Condition Assessment System, the On-Machine I/O development for LPAPs and LPAP air end redesign, Modular Refrigeration Unit (MRU). Demonstration technologies include Advanced Damage Control System (ADCS) software improvements, Input/Output Controller (IOC) Replacement, Fleet Wireless Personal digital Assistant (PDA), Weapons Elevator Laser Positioning System, Legacy Steering Interface upgrades, Passive countermeasures System (PCMS) alternate measurement capability, Additive Manufacturing efforts, and Weapons Elevators PLC redesign. 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, Network Data Logger Device, Portable Communication System (PCS) proof of concept, Ship Control System (SCS) Onboard trainer, CVN 78 class platform support for Joint Strike Fighter Integration, Development of a Standardized tool to be used to perform structural analyses to assess the adequacy of corroded and degraded structure.
