A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A SHIPBOARD DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM

Abstract

Research is presented on a feasibility study of a shipboar data collection system. The first section describes the background of the study. The second section contains a description of the system that Electric Boat suggested in its proposal; it also contains a description of the system for collec ing and recording ship speed, course, and elapsed time which was designed and assembled by Electric Boat's Human Factors Section and delivered to SubDevGru Two for installation on two submarines. The third section of this report describes the IBM 704 program developed by Electric Boat's Digital Computer Services Division for post-exercise reconstruction of ship tracks from data recorded during operations at sea.
