the quality of the personnel who will operate and maintain these systems is declining. An overview of U.S.

Navy operability problems, relevant demographic trends, and Soviet personnel issues (in the context of the potential vulnerabilities they represent for the Soviet military) is presented. Also, the need to change the traditional approach to man- power, personnel, and training is- sues in the acquisition of new sys- tems is discussed. 10:00 a.m. "Human Factors in

Naval Ship Design—An Up- date," R. Bost, J. Castle and J.

Edwards.

This paper is an update of the ini- tiatives, primarily in the area of human engineering, to improve the design of naval ships. The results obtained from the application of hu- man engineering principles are dis- cussed. Lessons learned in the inte- gration of human engineering re- quirements into ship specifications are reviewed as are new human engi- neering initiatives to improve fleet readiness and reduce operating costs. 11:00 a.m. "Habitability Con- trols in Relation to Human

Factors," Albert A. Saklem and

Albert Almeida.

The habitability standards of the

United States Navy were originated to require and maintain a standard of living aboard ships and subma- rines that is supportive of the health, morale, and overall mission readiness of personnel. Human fac- tors, as discussed in the paper, deal with the design of man-environment systems and are considered in terms of anthropometry (e.g. passage widths), physiology (e.g. air condi- tioning), psychology (e.g. privacy), and sociology (e.g. personnel group- ing). 2:00 p.m. "Innovations in the

Control of Gas Turbine Pro- pulsion Systems," Donald B.

Malkoff and Herman L. Wil- liams.

Personnel are no longer able to fulfill the demands imposed upon them in their role as operators of gas turbine propulsion control units.

Their greatest need is for assistance in the areas of fault diagnosis and the determination of proper correc- tive responses. Recommendations are offered for the most effective use of both humans and computers and their relationship in military ship- board propulsion control. 3:00 p.m. "Microprocessor

Based Real-Time Simulation of a Multiple Gas Turbine Gen- erator Electric Plant for Em- bedded Training," A. Stypul- kowski and E. Pollak.

A technique is presented in this paper to simulate, in real time, a multiple gas turbine generator elec- tric plant for an embedded training application. A typical naval electric plant was selected to demonstrate an application of the technique. The simulation includes the following plant operations: single generator operation, paralleling, load sharing and load shedding. Casualty simula- tions are included in the models.
