The implementation of microcomputer systems for the Republic of Korea's Naval ships

Abstract

This thesis outlines an approach for the acquisition of microcomputer systems to support the Republic of KOREA'S Naval combatant ships. At present, most shipboard information handling operations are performed manually by crew members. These operations are labor intensive, drawing on the Republic of Korea Navy's manpower and operational readiness. To reduce this manpower drain, the development of a microcomputer system onboard ROKN ships is presented. Additionally, system design considerations, and how to choose microcomputer systems onboard ROKN ships are discussed at length.
