Manning Analysis in Naval Ship Concept Design
The total cost of ownership of a naval ship is largely influenced by decisions made during concept design. In recent years the US Navy has undertaken numerous initiatives to reduce total ownership cost. This has prompted particular interest in reducing manning, as this is the largest single …

Risk Index for Multi-Objective Design Optimization of Naval Ships
The naval ship concept design process often embraces novel concepts and technologies that carry with them an inherent risk of failure simply because their application is the first of its kind. Failure is recognized by gaps between actual and required measures of performance, exceeded budgets, and …
