Story: From Retirement to Renais- sance—A New Strike Capability," by Gerald R. Bell.

This paper examines the adap- tation of the Tomahawk System for installation in New Jersey (BB- 62). The design modifications have been particularly critical, as the

Baseline System is currently un- der development in USS Merill (DE-392). Urgent Navy require- ments dictated the Battleship-

Tomahawk effort overtake and lead the Baseline development in Mer- rill. Emphasis in this paper is placed upon discussion of plan- ning, implementation, problems encountered, and the advanced ca- pabilities surrounding New Jersey as a result of installing the Toma- hawk weapons system.

The paper concludes with a dis- cussion of the potential opera- tional utilization of New Jersey in the strike warfare role that was lost to the surface Navy in World

War II, when aircraft carriers sup- planted battleships as the Navy's main strike arm. 10:15 a.m. "Detection—A Modern View," by Robert T. Hill.

Over the past 10 years or so, the

Navy in its surface combatants has introduced a modest amount of sensor integration and automa- tion, improving in several ways the "detection" function of the "de- tection-control-engagement" trio of functions embraced by the combat systems. After a review of the basic ideas of this integration, the further increases in inferential power that can be provided by ap- plication of several emerging tech- nologies to a fairly broad sensor base, including that of the force, are presented. The technologies include multi-sensor operations and netting, far more use of a priori information, more inference from present signal processing, new sig- nal processing, and the new com- puter circuitry, architecture, and programming fields frequently dis- cussed today. The paper concludes with a discussion of a possible way to proceed to improve systems, considering that we cannot "stop and start over" in much of our sen- sor system design in the major combatants. 11:00 a.m. "Rationale for an ADA Software

Engineering Environment for Navy

Mission Critical Applications," by

Robert A. Converse and LCdr.

Kathleen Paige, USN.

This paper describes the lessons learned about computer program development over the past 25 years, and discusses a software engineer- ing process that addresses these lessons. It then describes how ADA and its related ADA Programming

Support and Run-Time Environ- ments foster this software engi- neering process to improve com- puter program productivity and achieve greater system reliability and adaptability. Finally, the pa- per discusses how the use of ADA and its environments can enhance the interoperability and transfer- ability of computer programs among Navy projects, and signifi- cantly reduce overall life cycle (continued from page 56)

NOT LIP SERVICE!

There is a difference — Lips

Propellers' repair staff inspects and reconditions propulsion sys- tems ranging from complex

Controllable Pitch Propellers and

Transverse Thrusters to the largest

Monobloc Propellers. Our personnel can straighten distorted blades, excavate and weld cracks, repair damaged edges and surfaces, re- build cavitation eroded areas and replace missing or bent tips. And our engineering/design division can recom- mend pitch, camber or diameter modifi cation to solve your performance problems.

When "turn around time" is a priority, call us. We routinely accomplish major repairs in our three facilities meeting critical drydock schedules. Lips Mobile

Emergency Service Team goes directly to your chosen yard anytime, anywhere to perform on-site repairs or "super-polish service" within 24-hour notice.

Repair procedures meet the most exacting requirements of ABS, Det Norske Veritas,

Lloyd's Register, NAVSEA and other pertinent world class standards.

Whenever and wherever trouble strikes, call us. We provide Lips Service. !LIPS
