MELLIS, JGPLATO, AIREIN, RJJames G. Mellis:attended Central Institute in Kansas City
Mo. where he graduated in Electronic Engineering Technology. He later attended the University of Minn. in Minneapolis. At present he works in the Manning and Controls Integration Section of the Naval Sea Systems Command. Mr. Mellis is responsible for developing manpower requirements for ship design and for the coordination of shipboard automation designs with the U.S. Navy's manpower policies and availability. Mr. Mellis is currently developing manpower requirements for the U.S. Navy's DDGX ship design. In this capacity he has examined proposals for shipboard manpower reductions through the use of automation and remote control techniques. Another project where Mr. Mellis is heavily engaged in is the Ship Systems Engineering Standards (SSES) development. Mr. Mellis is the assistant project manager for the test and evaluation and producibility aspects of the SSES project. Previously prior to his employment with NAVSEA Mr. Mellis worked for General Dynamics/Electronic Division as a Senior Field Engineer on the Apollo Instrumentation Ships (i.e. Vanguard Restone Mercury). He was responsible for Central Data Processing Systems on the three ships. Artis I. Plato:is the Head of the Manning and Controls Integration Section of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). He is responsible for the development of accurate manpower requirements for all new construction and major overhaul ship projects for the U.S. NAVY. In addition
Mr. Plato must coordinate shipboard controls integration and automation aspects with manpower requirements to insure that a compatible solution is developed. Mr. Plato began his professional career in 1956 at the New York Naval Shipyard. There
he worked in the Internal Combustion Engine and Shipboard Elevator Section. During 1957 and 1958 he was called up for active duty with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He served in Europe with various Construction Engineers units. After release from active duty he returned to the shipyard. In 19

This paper examines the recent experience in the UNITED STATES NAVY where automation has been introduced into new ship designs. While other attributes are recognized in the introduction of automated shipboard systems, such as the ability to respond more quickly in combat situations, this paper focuses on the effects of automation upon ship manpower requirements. Specific examples show that expected reductions in manning were not achieved in recent ship designs where automation was incorporated for that purpose. While the use of shipboard automation is not without its critics, the U.S. Fleet appears to have accepted the concept. User feedback addresses the issues of reliability, the provisions for backup systems, the need for better qualified personnel and the concern about maintenance workload. The authors provide specific recommendations for improved guidance to ship designers to more effectively apply automation in the ship design process.

The MK 92 Fire control System (FCS) & a new, integrated, highly reliable and light-weight U.S. Navy Fire control System for missile and gun control. This system, which is in production for the FFG, PCG, PGG and PHM Ship Classes, provides the detection and automation required for modern naval warfare. Search radar data & presented at a very high rate at the operator's console, a highly integrated man-machine interface. Utilization of monopulse and “track-while-scan” techniques result in multiple target tracking capability. The system console(s) offer a self-contained command and control capability and, in addition, standard digital computer channels provide the versatile interface with the ship's command and control, integrating the complete engagement process. Error cancellation techniques are employed to obtain high performance accuracy even under severe environmental conditions. The low manning requirement for both operation and maintenance is a key system attribute for all applications. Comprehensive “at-sea” evaluations, performed by the U.S. Navy, demonstrated successful system operation in all modes of surveillance, multi-target tracking and simultaneous missile and gun engagements. The “at-sea” performance record of the FCS MK 92 was cited by the Chief of Naval Operations to have established new standards for Naval Surface Weapons systems.

FERRIS, LAWRENCE W.FREY, RICHARD A.MILLS, JAMES L.Laurence W. Ferris graduated from the University of California in 1916. After working at shipyards on the West Coast
came to the Bureau of Construction and Repair in 1925 and has contributed to the design of a wide variety of ships. For several years was head of a section dealing with structural design of turrets ammunition handling and allied subjects. More recently has been a Project Coordinator in the Bureau of Ships. Retired in June 1962. Author of the following papers: “The Effect of an Added Weight on Longitudinal Strength” SNA & ME 1940 “The Proportions and Form of Icebreakers”
SNA & ME 1959 “Developable Surfaces”
ASNE 1961. Richard A. Frey entered the Bureau of Ships upon graduation from Manhattan College
N. Y. in 1951. From 1951 through early 1957 he was on the Destroyer Type Desk and was primarily involved in the hull electronic and ordnance aspects of all destroyer type ships. From 1957 through 1962 Mr. Frey headed up the Surface-to-Surface Missile ASW Conventional Armament and Auxiliary Section of the Bureau of Ships Weapons Branch. His duties entailed all aspects relative to the installation of such weapon systems as REGULUS ASROC SUBROC torpedoes conventional guns and similar ordnance in various surface and sub-surface craft. Mr. Frey has been recently detailed to the Bureau's new SEAHAWK Program Management Office. James L. Mills
Jr. holds a bachelor's degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture. Following his graduation in 1944 he was ordered to the USNR Midshipman's School at Cornell the Navy Fire Fighting and Damage Control School in Philadelphia and then to duty in the Construction and Repair Department aboard the USS PENNSYLVANIA. He subsequently served as the Assistant First Lieutenant and Damage Control Officer in that ship. After release from active duty Mr. Mills did naval architectural work at the David Taylor Model Basin the Naval Engineering Division of the U. S. Coast Guard and Bethlehem Steel's Staten Island
