INTEGRATED USER SUPPORT FOR SHIPBOARD UNIFORM AUTOMATED DATA PROCESSING RESYSTEMIZATION

THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP METHODS FOR INTEGRATING A TRAINING PROGRAM WITH THE NEWLY RESYSTEMIZED SAUDPS SYSTEM FOR THE PURPOSES OF TRAINING NEWLY REPORTING SAILORS, AND PROVIDING REFRESHER TRAINING TO SAILORS AS THEY MOVE FROM ONE ASSIGNMENT TO ANOTHER ABOARD SHIP. THE PROJECT WILL FURTHER UTILIZE THIS TRAINING AS THE BASIS FOR AN INTEGRATED QUALIFICATION PROGRAM MODELED IN PART UPON STANDARD SHIPBOARD PQS SYSTEMS. FINALLY, THE PROJECT WILL DEVELOP SOFTWARE WHICH WILL UTILIZE AN "EXPERT SYSTEM" TO PROVIDE THE CAPABILITY TO LOCATE REQUIRED REFERENCE MATERIAL. PHASE I OF THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE A DETAILED MODEL OF A PROPOSED TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION SYSTEM. CARE WILL BE EXERCISED TO REVIEW SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE OPTIONS TO PROVIDE THE OPTIMAL MIX FOR THIS FUNCTION. IN ADDITION, WE SHALL ENSURE THAT THE GOAL OF TOTAL INTEGRATION INTO THE PLANNED SUADPS SYSTEM IS ATTAINED. A REVIEW OF AVAILABLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BASED SOFTWARE SHALL ALSO BE PERFORMED. PHASE II OF THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE A PROTOTYPE OF THE PROPOSED TRAINING, QUALIFICATION, AND REFERENCE LOCATION SYSTEMS.
