The paper presents performance results for the SHINPADS serial data bus operating in the environment of a modern, frigate-class ship using a combination of point-to-point links for certain major applications systems and the shared, SHINPADS bus for others. The traffic model used is representative of experience in the design of new ships of this type. It is shown that the bus has adequate performance for the expected traffic load. In addition it is shown that, as traffic increases, delay problems will show up in the application processor environment before there is any significant degradation of the performance of the bus. The value of the provision of several classes of priority on the bus is also investigated.

Air cushion vehicles (ACVs) have operated successfully on commercial routes for about twenty years. The routes are normally quite short; the craft are equipped with radar and radio navigation aids and maintain continuous contact with their terminals. Navigation of these craft, therefore, does not present any unusual difficulty. The introduction of air cushion vehicles into military service, however, can present a very different picture, especially when external navigation aids are not available and the craft must navigate by dead reckoning. This paper considers the problems involved when navigating a high-speed air cushion vehicle by dead reckoning in conditions of poor visibility. A method is presented to assess the ACV's navigational capability under these circumstances. A figure of merit is used to determine the sensitivity of factors which affect navigation such as the range of visibility, point-to-point distance, speed, turning radius and accuracy of onboard equipment. The method provides simplistic but adequate answers and can be used effectively to compare the-capability and cost of alternative navigation concepts.

To meet energy conservation goals of the U.S. Navy, its attention has been focused on ways to reduce individual ship total resistance and powering requirements. One possible method of improving ship powering characteristics is by modifying existing individual ship hulls with the addition of bulbous bows. This paper will identify the merits of retrofitting bow bulbs on selected U.S. Navy auxiliary and amphibious warfare ships. A procedure for performing a cost-benefit analysis will be shown for candidate ship classes. An example of this technique for an amphibious warfare ship will also be provided. A brief discussion of future methods to be used for bulbous bow design such as application of systematic model test data and numerical hydrodynamic techniques will be given.

A technique for computing the inter-departure time distribution for single server queues is presented. The method is applicable for both the steady state and the transient characterizations. Examples of its use in several situations are presented. An explicit expression for the interdeparture time distribution of a steady state G/M/1 queue is obtained.
Most of the analysis of buffer sharing schemes has been aimed at obtaining the optimal operational parameters under stationary load situations. It is well known that in most operating environments the traffic load cha...

This paper presents an integrated approach to computer-Aided Ship Design for U.S. Navy preliminary and contract design. An integrated Hull Design system (HDS), currently under development by the Hull Group of the Naval Sea systems Command (NAVSEA 32). is the vehicle for the discussion. This paper is directed toward practicing ship design professionals and the managers of the ship design process. Primary emphasis of this paper, and of the development effort currently under way, is on aiding ship design professionals in their work. Focus is on integration and management control of the extremely complex set of processes which make up naval ship design. The terminology of the Ship Designer and Design Manager is used. The reader needs no familiarity with the technologies of computerscience.

The main concern of this paper is to determine the state-space representation of a class of linear time-variable, periodic system, such that when excited by stationary white noise it results in a random process with prescribed covariance function. It is shown that by using a proper transformation on the state covariance matrix of the system it is possible to find a new matrix which has periodicity properties and satisfies a periodic matrix Riceati differential equation; therefore, the time interval of interest, on which the matrix Riceati equation must be solved using previous approaches, will collapse into one period.

The main concern of this paper is the determination of state-space equations of a linear periodic system with no direct connection between input and output that realizes a class of proscribed output covariance functions.A transformed state covariance matrix satisfying a matrix Riccati differential equation with periodic coefficients is derived from the given output covariance of the system. By use of a suitable transformation, the time interval of interest can be collapsed to one period. Thus the Riccati differential equation need be solved only over one period.
