Abstract :
Battle damage assessment (BDA) of US Navy aircraft on an aircraft carrier requires quick response, the coordination of multiple skill groups, and effective interchange of complex information. A realistic working demonstration of this capability is described. The BDA demonstration combines concepts for electronic technical manual presentation, data structuring for search and retrieval, computer processing for damage evaluation, and a user interface suited to maintenance and BDA field operations. The demonstration encompasses an innovative approach to aircraft carrier BDA, using electronic data presentation to avoid the use of paper on the aircraft carrier and to provide BDA features not possible in a manual system.<>
