THE PROJECTED EFFECT OF AUTOMATION ON FUTURE NAVY PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS. PART I: SPECIFIC IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PERSONNEL STRUCTURE.
Abstract
The report presents implications of industrial and naval automation for the Navy's human element. Consideration is given to the imminent possibility that the Navy will be required to provide a place for many personnel who cannot find employment in civilian industry, and discussion is also provided on the later problem of the automated society as a source of naval manpower. The qualitative personnel requirements of a 'fully' automated Navy are discussed and the manpower requirements of such a Navy are estimated in tabular form. A projected schedule for the advent of naval automation is omitted as the variables involved are too difficult to predict with any acceptable degree of validity. (Author)
