Examining the Feasibility of a Remote Communications Assistance Concept.

Abstract

Delays encountered when off-ship technical assistance is required to correct equipment casualties may be detrimental to overall operational readiness. Mission-essential equipment may be out of service for a long period of time before it can be repaired by a designated technical expert. One possible way to reduce the amount of time that a ship spends in a degraded state of equipment readiness at sea is to link expert repair technicians on shore to deployed units of the fleet using modern satellite communications technology. This report describes a controlled land-based test of the remote maintenance assistance concept and identifies factors that may affect the efficiency of such a procedure when troubleshooting Navy equipment casualties.
