Shipboard Data Recording Instrumentation: Description and Functions.

Abstract

The Shipboard Data Recording Instrumentation (SDRI) Systems are digital and analog recording systems used for real-time recording of pre-and post-launch data during weapon firing exercises. The DGS, MDGS, DGU, MDGU, CIU, DTRS, and TTIS are transportable systems which are loaded aboard the firing ship for specific periods of operating time. The DGM software module is integral to its shipboard system. SDRI systems are used: (1) During Torpedo Mk 48 TCP, PRO, PCO, Test and Evaluation, and special testing; (2) During WSAT, CCST, CCT, TECHEVAL, and Certification (Torpedo Mk 48, SUBROC, and HARPOON); and (3) During maintenance and calibration (MRC and FORACS). SDRI systems provide a highly accurate time-correlated record of shipboard data for subsequent detailed analysis using shore-based facilities. The use of SDRI minimizes constraints placed on operational exercises by conventional manual data-recording techniques. Recorded SDRI data are also used for: Real-time display, Systems calibration, Systems checks, and Time-of-fire data verification.
