Shipboard Non-Tactical Automated Data Processing (SNAP) Resystemization: An Alternate Approach

Abstract

The next generation of Shipboard Non-tactical Automated Data Processing (SNAP) systems is now being designed. A historical review of the development of the original generation of shipboard non-tactical computer systems (SUADPS) shows an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary approach to shipboard logistics system development. Current non-tactical information system (IS) development practices are resulting in multiple systems that perform the same function. The Intermediate Maintenance Management System (IMMS), Maintenance Resource Management System (MRMS) and Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS) have all been developed for intermediate level maintenance management. Development of the next generation shipboard non-tactical logistics information system must stress a standardized integrated maintenance approach. Control of non-tactical information systems development should be exercised by the Navy's Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Logistics to ensure adherence to Logistic support policy and standard system development.
