  1. Wireless Enhancement of ICAS (WEI) CBM Initiatives and Applications 17 March 2004 Walt Kostyk NSWCCD SSES C/9161 KostykWJ@NSWCCD.Navy.mil (215) 897-1479

  2. 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 Shore Site/Help Desk DDG Virtual NAVSEA Phila NAVSEA Crane LM Moorestown DDG-51 LBES CSEDS Mission Area status display for each Battle Group ship LUBE OIL PUMP FUEL PUMP LPAC MICROWAVE SWITCH TUBE SPY COOLING SKID CSEDS: Combat Systems Engineering Development Site LBES: Land Based Engineering Site LM: Lockheed-Martin LPAC: Low Pressure Air Compressor

  3. 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”

  4. ICAS LAN Rack (CCS) NCAP GATEWAY ALCATEL Terminal Box OMNISTACK 6 Vib Channels 8 Pressure Channels GATEWAY NCAP GATEWAY *** *** ICAS Workstation HPAC Other ICAS Log Spaces Mach Spaces UPS NCAP GATEWAY Signal Conditioning (RTD to 4-20mA) 16 Channels NCAP **** **** **** **** *** **** Other “ICAS Log” Spaces (20 Gateways Total) GATEWAY AMR-2 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

  5. What’s the Plan for Going Wireless? • Objective is for ELROD to deploy with wireless ATO, with wireless CBM applications enabled • Currently 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

  6. HPAC #1 Sig Cond Alcatel Omnistack Term Box WLAN Access Point Placement aboard USS ELROD Hardwired to ICAS Switch in CCS Aux 2

  7. BACKUP SLIDE 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

  8. The “IDEA Deployment” Cycle for CBM • Objective: Systematically develop, test, and deploy CBM products for fleet maintenance & manpower reduction I D E A Deployment Design & Develop Identify Evaluate Adjust Identify and spec out CBM requirements Collaborative government/ contractor effort Laboratory “PASS*” testing and shipboard demo Modify based on fleet feedback and metrics * Products Approved for Shipboard Service

  9. WEI IDEA Deployment • On subsequent slides, R&D Tasks are indexed by delivery orders 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, & 009 • 005 & 008: Diagnostic/Prognostic Enhancements • 006 & 009: XML Enhancements • 005 & 006 are FY-02 tasks • 008 & 009 are FY-03 tasks • Demo/deployment accomplished via separate tasks

  10. 005/6.07: New Daughter Boards • Variable Voltage, Variable Frequency, and RS-232/Discrete • 952 will witness Vari-Voltage & Var-Freq Contr Qual Testing 17 Dec, as prep for govt “PASS” testing • 952 PASS testing will commence after CQT • 952 has delineated the performance requirements -> • RS-232/Discrete CQT is approx 2 weeks away • Cosmetic board prep, mainly • Functionality will be 8 channels per board

  11. = Problem “A” AND Normal Behavior Abnormal Behavior 005/6.08: HPAC Diag & Prog • Produced by Domain Dynamics (Britain) • “Trainable” for a given piece of HM&E equipment • “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 • 952 Test criteria: recognition of normal transients, plus general “stability” requirements that will be applied to all 005/006 products ->

  12. 005/6.10: HPAC OBT & Simulation • Produced by ITE, Inc. (SimSmart) • Simulation model built from HPAC Tech Manual, EOSS, & PMS • Three 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

  13. NCAP Gateway Ethernet (Crossover) 120 VAC Power Supply DC 75 Ohm Coax Pelco Spectra III AXIS Video Server RS-485 Pan, Tilt, & Zoom Control The Analog Camera Solution 005/6.11: Video (Wireless to the Network) NCAP Gateway Power Supply 120 VAC Ethernet (Crossover) DC AXIS 2100 The Network Camera Solution

  14. 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) Video Test Reqts

  15. 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)
