The Description of the Multi-Mode Display System,

Abstract

This technical note describes the equipment and operation of the Multi-Mode Display System (MMDS). The MMDS was designed and developed to evaluate the feasibility of using a single display console hardware configuration to perform all the display functions required for advanced computer-aided ASW systems. A single console configuration is proposed here as an alternative to the present practice of using a special-purpose display design for each system function. The major components of the system are the Multi-Mode Sonar Console (MMSC) and the Passive Data Memory Unit (PDMU). This equipment is operational and is presently located in the NUC Display/Simulation Facility at NUC-San Diego. Equipment maintenance and operation are under the direction of the Simulation, Analysis and Applications Division, NUC Code 603.
