Origin of WEI

WEI evolution from BG-AME BG-AME (Battle Group – Automated Maintenance

Environment) was a Phase III SBIR that concluded in December 2002 as a three-site demo

The demo included intra-ship wireless data acquisition applications and inter-ship Mission Area statusing

Dec 2002 Demo Results

Inter-ship functionality is not a viable developmental area for NSWCCD-SSES

Technical issues with UWB radios Programmatic issues with interfaces to other Mission Area

automated systems

Wireless intra-ship data acquisition hardware performed well during the Dec 2002 demo

Conclusion: NSWCCD-SSES to focus on developing and fielding wireless data acquisition and related Condition-Based Maintenance applications

Via ICAS, the Navy CBM program of record; hence, “WEI”

The Next Step: A Shipboard WEI Demo

USS ELROD TEMPALT installation completed 12 Nov 03 Included full ICAS Tech Refresh

Will demonstrate survivability & performance of wireless equipment in shipboard environment Will demonstrate benefits of wireless tools for CBM within ICAS

What’s the Plan for Going Wireless?

Objective is for ELROD to deploy with wireless ATO, with wireless CBM applications enabledCurrently working out with TSM Program:

EMCON Pierside EmCon testing? Or Disable all emitters on main deck & above?

Interference AEPTEC lab results indicate interference is mitigated by

adequate spacing and proper frequency selection SSAA

Draft is being prepared for submittal, based around USS MASON SSAA

How Does WEI Help the Sailor?Right now… - Automated Engineering Logsheet for HPAC#1 - Accurate Data - Realtime Online Diagnostics

CBM R&D in progress… - Wireless logsheet apps - Wireless ILS/XML apps - Realtime online ICAS signal embedding - Additional analog signal processing - Variable voltage - Variable frequency - Discrete RS-232 - Advanced Diag/Prog - Video

“Teach” it normal behavior and it will recognize abnormal behavior through pattern recognition

To be tested with LBES LPAC, then “retrained” for ELROD HPAC “Normal” LPAC operating data collected 10 Dec 03

005/6.10: HPAC OBT & Simulation

Produced by ITE, Inc. (SimSmart)

Simulation model built from HPAC Tech Manual, EOSS, & PMSThree HPAC faults simulated

Operator selects faults, simulation drives signal value changes, operator selects actions, and simulation reacts

OBT to be accessed via OPC interface from ICAS Issue: Will the simulation change signal values in ICAS? If so, how to distinguish

training mode?

Status: AEPTEC has tested at their site and is arranging delivery

005/6.11: Video (Wireless to the Network)

Analog Camera/Network Camera Similarities Both use motion JPEG packeting format Both connect via NCAP Ethernet bridging (NCAP bridging must be enabled) Both have controllable compression (five settings)

Analog Camera/Network Camera Differences Analog is NTSC signaling (interoperability) Analog has pan/tilt/zoom, network is set & forget (unless mounted on pan/tilt platform) Analog is weather-hardened Analog is $1800 (plus server or included?), network is $500 Analog resolution better than network Analog has external server, network is integral to unit Analog server accommodates four cameras Analog camera accommodates preset pan/tilt/zoom settings

Status – Both temporarily installed at LBES, testing underway Issue: Access video from ICAS or desktop? Are resolution & frame rate adequate? Shock qual (shipboard demo issue only)

006/6.07 (ICAS COTS TM XML Conversion)

Task: Perform XML tagging of ICAS COTS Operator’s Manual and ICAS Administrator’s Manual

Per Navy Electronic Tech Manual Document Type Definition

The intent is not to convert to Navy TM format, but to tag the content in a standard fashion so it can be easily accessed

There is no “testing” associated with the conversion; rather, it is reviewed by 952 & 205, mainly for parsing to the DTD

The tagged content is used for the 006/6.09 (help utility)

Status: Two reviews completed (Jul 03 & Nov 03)

AEPTEC is correcting parsing errors (again)
