- Abstract
- This report addresses the application of human factors technology in association with state-of-the-art computer and display technologies to shipboard firemain system malfunction detection and recovery. The advantages and disadvantages of differing degrees of automation and central control are explored. The results should be of interest to those concerned with propulsion unit fault-handling, computer control systems, personnel training, ship damage control, and firemain design.
