Ship target recognition
In this report the classification of ship targets using a low resolution radar system is investigated. The thesis can be divided into two major parts. The first part summarizes research into the applications of neural networks to the low resolution non-cooperative ship target recognition problem. …

Optimal ship routing
Fuel savings in ship navigation has always been a popular subject in the maritime industry as well as the world's largest Navies. Oil prices and environmental considerations drive the effort for more fuel-efficient navigation. This thesis addresses the problem of deterministic minimum fuel routing …

Frequency reuse through RF power management in ship-to-ship data networks
A proposed U.S. Navy ship to ship, line of sight, high data rate communication system is analyzed. Because of the limited bandwidth available in the UHF band, it is desired to reuse a frequency channel at the shortest possible range. By limiting the radiated power to the minimum required to …

Naval ship control systems.
An analysis of the problem of Naval Ship Automation is made. The purpose is to search the nonclassified existing documents and to present a general view of the state of the art in Naval Ship Control Systems. This study covers material that is concerned with conventional Naval Surface Ships such as …

Innovation in Ship Design
<p>What is innovation in ship design? Is it a capability that is inherent in all naval architects? Is it the result of the application of a certain set of tools, or of operation within a certain organizational structure? Can innovation be taught?</p> <p>Innovation is a creative act that results in …

Simplified Ship Collision Model
The serious consequence of ship collisions necessitates the development of regulations and requirements for the subdivision and structural design of ships to reduce damage and environmental pollution from collision, and improve safety. The on-going revision of IMO regulations on oil outflow …

The unmanned ship sets sail - is South Africa prepared to open The Ship Register?
The dissertation discusses unmanned shipping from a South African perspective. While some nations are trailblazers in this field, other states lack behind and do not yet provide with a clear strategy for the future. Hence, the threat is real that they might be too late and will lose out in the …

Modeling of the electric ship
… Navy continues to refine its designs for future ships, one approach that it is currently being explored is to use a unified electrical grid to power every system aboard a ship, including propulsion and weapons. Some concerns with this design are estimating the power demands placed upon the grid …

The ship in the sky
The sky’s grumbling. Layers of gray grinding above me the way teeth grind, angry and wanting, all nap long. Two boom-clap bangs and my eyes snap open to clouds thick as clay, metal-sheet lightening and thunder thumping close and heavy as fists. I grab the stone floor and I’m watching and listening, …

Estimation of ship construction costs
… the current method that the Navy conducts ship cost estimates and suggests changes in order to improve the confidence level and accuracy of the forecasts. An examination of how industry is conducting cost estimates was used as a comparison to the current Navy practices. Finally using only a …

Ship Design Optimization Using Asset
… a replacement for the US Navy amphibious assault ship and DDG51, a destroyer class vessel. The overall measure of effectiveness (OMOE) and the lead ship acquisition cost (LCA) are considered to be the objective functions. The evaluation of feasibility of the designs and various ship parameter …

An Underwater Explosion-Induced Ship Whipping Analysis Method for use in Early-Stage Ship Design
… is developed. An approximate vertical plane ship vibration model is derived using fundamental beam theory by representing the ship as a free-free beam with varying cross-sectional properties along its length. The fluid-structure interaction is approximated using strip theory and the distant …
