The Damage Control Information Display System for the Ex-USS Shadwell

Abstract

The Damage Control Information Display System (DCIDS) is a graphical information-retrieval and equipment-control system that gives shipboard damage control personnel the ability to detect, analyze, and combat various types of damage control situations. A prototype of DCIDS has been developed for use aboard the ex-USS Shadwell, the Navy's full-scale fire research and test ship from which damage control and ship survivability investigations, analyses, and evaluations are performed. This DCIDS implementation runs on a PC-compatible computer under MicroSoft Windows and communicates with the Shadwell's data collection computer through an Ethernet TCP/IP connection. This report describes the operation and use of the DCIDS program. It also provides the user interface and information management specifications for modifying the program for other fire test scenarios and equipment interfacing.
