As the mission and performance demands for naval ships have increased, they have become more complex comprising an increasing number of heterogeneous interdependent subsystems. This increased complexity requires new methods for the design and operation of these naval systems. The Georgia Institute of Technology Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory (ASDL) is helping the Navy change its design pra...

A new paradigm for simulating large-scale dynamical systems is described and applied to an integrated naval power system. This approach enables the overall system simulation to be formed as an interconnection of interdependent dynamic simulations, each representing a specific electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and/or thermal component/subsystem. Each simulation may be developed independently us...

Although the end of the Cold War minimized the threat of massive open ocean naval combat, new littoral warfare missions and scenarios involving both combined arms and joint allied operations, have emerged. New threats, missions and operating environments present a greater challenge to target identification, reaction time, command and control, and tracking and weapons accuracy, requiring even mo...

In this paper we describe some of the research on multi-modal dialogue being performed in the Interactive Systems group at the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence at the Naval Research Laboratory. Our concern with multi-modal interfaces arises from our past work in developing general-purpose natural language interfaces that can be applied to a variety of decision support...

N ew and planned Department of Defense (DoD) combat systems are inherently network-centric, distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems of systems. Combat systems have historically been developed via multiple technology bases, where each system brings its own networks, computers, displays, software, and people to maintain and operate it. Unfortunately, not only are these stove-pipe archite...
