A Review of Some Human Factor Considerations in the BQR-7 DIMUS (Digital Pre-Formed Beam) Development

Abstract

Selected aspects of the BQR-7 DIMUS development were reviewed which involve the interaction between the sonarman and the proposed DIMUS equipment. Three volumes produced by the DIMUS contractor were reviewed with the objective of comparing DIMUS with the existing BQR-7 system including details of equipment design, displays, controls, and maintenance philosophies. The theoretical contribution that the DIMUS would make to the performance of the BQQ-2 system was examined. The review presents specific points in detail for the technical reader and a general summary for those with limited knowledge of the DIMUS system. The comments included herein illustrate a divergence between experimental/laboratory work and the operational world in which this sub-system will operate as part of the BQQ-2 sonar system.
