Navy Laboratory Interactive Graphics Study.

Abstract

The objective of the Navy Laboratory Interactive Graphics Study (nligs) was to define the interactive graphics needs of the Navy laboratories in the present and in the future. In this study, interactive graphics refers to the minicomputer-based turnkey interactive graphics systems (MTIGSs). The seven Navy laboratories formally requested a total of 110 work stations under NLIGS. The application areas are documentation and drafting, mechanical design and layout, integrated circuit design, design and fabrication of printed circuit boards, and tape preparation for numerical control machines. The recommendations of the NLIGS are that $10M in funds be identified over a 2-fiscal-year period to procure a Navy laboratory MTIGS, that a support organization be established to increase overall system productivity, that a productive study be initiated to develop the methods of monitoring system productivity, that each Navy laboratory submit an interactive graphics implementation plan, and that a national graphics information interchange standard be pursued.
