New approaches to the integration of organizational maintenance and failure data during submarine maintenance planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Planning for maintenance periods for U.S. Navy submarines is difficult due to schedule and cost constraints, operating cycles, and logistical concerns. Organizational maintenance and failure data is vital to understanding ...
A launch and recovery system for integrating unmanned ocean vehicles onto surface platforms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Unmanned vehicles (UxVs) are becoming more prevalent across all domains. As UxV technology improves and their operations become more essential to mission success, the challenge of integrating these vehicles onto current ...
Analysis of consistently poor work estimates in U.S. submarine availabilities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The maintenance of a warship requires an involved combination of scheduling, funding, and execution. For one finite maintenance period, known as an "availability," a small setback in one of these areas can have a significant ...
Design, construction, and analysis of a modular ship model and open-source autonomous surface vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Existing models used to explore hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, seakeeping, and maneuvering characteristics of ships are limited in that their characteristics are essentially static. The effects of various hull appendages, ...
The design, feasibility and cost analysis of sea barrier systems in Norfolk, Virginia and the comparative cost of shoreline barriers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Protecting a coastline from the damage of a storm surge, or tidal flooding associated with sea level rise, is a challenging and costly engineering endeavor. Low lying properties located directly on an ocean coastline are ...
