At present ships are monitored for fire, flooding,
and other casualties by watches such as the Sounding
and Security Watch, but casualties still cause
millions of dollars of damage each year. The need for
a damage control monitoring system is discussed in
detail and the design requirements for a system are
identified. A number of alternatives for a monitoring
system are examined, and one of these alternatives is
recommended for implementation and prototype testing.
The proposed system, which uses a network of fire and
flooding detectors in individual compartments
connected via a power line carrier to a central
processor, can be developed at exceptionally low risk
using existing technology and at a price that can be
afforded. The system would provide comprehensive
damage control monitoring, and could be adapted to
include equipment monitoring, record keeping, and
analysis functions.
