Abstract
This is a highly graphic user-oriented interactive
software product which will assist the user to become more
proficient at recognizing and employing Navy signal flags
and pennants which are used for visual communications
between naval vessels of all types. A tutorial portion of
the program has been designed with a number of options,
thereby allowing a user to tailor a recognition program to
satisfy specific learning requirements. The program is also
capable of graphically displaying any grouping of flags and
pennants chosen by the user in flaghoist order. When the
flags and pennants are arranged in accordance with the procedural
doctrine set forth in the ALLIED MARITIME TACTICAL SIGNAL BOOK, ATP 1(B), Volume II, the program demonstrates
the capability of decoding the displayed signal into its
predetermined meaning. The current program is resident in
the Secure Command, Control and Communications Exercise Laboratory
(C3 Lab) at the Navy Postgraduate School.
