Hi!
in German Navy we develop a prototype of an new system that helps the crew to communicate during a battle.
The idea is:
Every commanding officer is equiped with a kind of tablet PC.
When there ist a fire somewher in the ship for example, and that fire is detected by someone, the position of the fire in the shop can be posted.
At same time the new information can be seen on every tablet PC.
So everybody in the ship has the same information at the same time.
The system is a bi directional system.
So, the order, to put out the fire can be given that way, too.
At least, the system should be able to do a lot more!
But that is the first idea!

Now we are looking for systems, that are similar to our idea.
Maybe such a system is still existing somewhere.

Maybe someone can give me an answer.
THANKS

im personaly not aware of any, but is this system really an improvement over just looking at the fire warning panel and announcing its position over the PA?

theres certainly alot less that can break with the current way

Check out the IPMS system the Spanish have fitted in the F100s and the BPE and the Norwegian frigates; and that the RAN is getting in the Canberras and Hobarts.

How big and heavy is the tablet PC they are using?

A good place to start looking for similar systems would be apps for the iPhone and similar devices. This does not sound that much different from some software for posting meeting notices.

They are also making protective and waterproof cases for military iPhones now. Might be a better choice than a tablet. :type

The US fielded such a system with their Manchu Division 7 years ago. Its basically now on a GPS sized unit

Mind you, I've yet to see a PC shore a bulkhead, set up an emergency cable run or put out a fire in a compartment with no fixed fire fighting system; automation of systems does have its limits.
