Shipboard Interior Communication ( IC) systems, a critical
part of command and control, have not kept pace with
the technological advances occurring in other areas of Naval
warfare. As a result, the requirements and demands placed
on an IC system in a warfare scenario are not likely to be
met with much success. This thesis to takes the first steps
towards rectifying this unsatisfactory situation. The
general weaknesses and problems with present IC systems are
identified. Then, paying close attention to the needs of
surface combatants, particularly DDG-51 and FFG-7 class
ships, the requirements and functions needed to improve
shipboard IC are presented. These are incorporated into the
requirements and functions needed to develop an ideal
Integrated Shipboard Communication System (ISCS). A French
designed and built ISCS is then compared to this ideal
system in order to evaluate its potential for implementation
aboard U. S. Navy surface combatants.
