Interactive Inboard Profile Interactive Deck Plan View DCAMS offers users an easy to understand interface. DCAMS was designed to facilitate situational awareness rapidly. The interactive deck plan views allow users the ability highlight compartments and document various information pertinent to that space, such as name and number, person responsible, and notes about the space. DCAMS was developed for use as a means of managing shipboard damage control, fire-fighting and personnel protection equipment. Since asset management is only a minor part of the damage control job, DCAMS was modified to be a Damage Control Tactical Management tool. Interactive Deck Plan View

Password Protected, Distributed Application DCAMS can be used as a stand alone application from a single workstation or a notebook computer. In this capacity, DCAMS is an excellent tool for ship familiarization, drill planning, asset management, and as a mobile command center. However, DCAMS is most valuable when installed on a network and used for damage control tactical management during training or unexpected casualties. DCAMS is password protected, and a distributed application. Survivability is greatly enhanced with the application and the ship specific database installed locally at each workstation. When one or more workstations are offline, they can continually be used. When connectivity is re-established, all workstations will update accordingly, to recover any information that was missed.

DCAMS Compartment Overlays Critical Spaces Access & Egress Routing DCAMS provides a means of displaying compartment information with a graphic overlay. In this particular window, Passages and Access spaces are highlighted with a crosshatch, to display spaces that can be used for Access and Egress. Survivability information regarding critical spaces can be turned on as a color overlay. Like wise, compartments can be identified with a color overlay to identify the primary installed fire suppression system for the space. DCAMS Compartment Overlays Fire Suppression Coverage

DC / FF Equipment Management …Add, …Move, …Delete, …Notate Asset management and inventory control are important parts of the day-to-day job of damage control personnel. DCAMS provides the ability for authorized personnel to add, move and delete equipment on the deck plan view. Users can also notate equipment with amplifying information as needed.

Graphically Intuitive Casualty Plotting DCAMS uses the Navy standard for Computer based casualty plotting, which matches the DCTT prop kits. Damage control plots are easier to understand quickly, by using a graphical icon to display casualties. Graphically Intuitive Casualty Plotting

3 2 4 1 6 An Investigator has reported a Class “A” Fire and White smoke. Smoke has been reported in an adjacent compartment (port) from the compartment with the Class “A” Fire and White smoke. As the investigator moved aft he/she reported a Fire Main rupture. The ruptured fire main has caused flooding in an adjacent compartment. In an adjacent compartment (starboard) a hot deck and structural damage has been reported. Finally we find the Investigator has moved aft again and subsequently reported personnel casualties. 5 CASUALTY REPORTED

1 4 3 6 2 As we proceed through this scenario, we see the casualties have been sized up and personnel are on see rendering assistance where necessary. The Interactive Inboard Profile has displayed all plots with red identifiers to indicate where problems exist on the ship. Clicking in an area where an identifier is illuminated will change the deck plan view to that area. Boundary personnel are working to set casualty boundaries where ordered. An attack team is in place fighting the Class “A” Fire, and a desmoking team is working to clear the adjacent compartment of smoke. Another attack team is actively engaging the ruptured fire-main and dewatering the adjacent space. Deck cooling is taking place on the hot deck. Medical personnel are on scene to render aid to the wounded. 5 CASUALTY ENGAGED

3 5 2 1 Boundary personnel have maintained the boundaries as required throughout the scenario. The fire is out and desmoking has commenced. The pipe rupture has been patched or the system isolated, and de-watering has commenced on the standing water. Cooling on the hot deck is continuing, while shoring is being attempted on the damaged bulkhead. An incident commander monitors the situation. 4 NO CASUALTY
