Recoverability in the future: Damage control & fire fighting in 21st century
conference paper
Survivability of a costly Naval Vessel and its crew is an essential capability. The survivability depends on susceptibility of a Naval ship against weapons and weapon systems, vulnerability of the platform and its systems against the effect of the weapons and the recoverability after the hit by a weapon. The recoverability performance depends largely on the ingenuity of a ship's crew. However, lean manning challenges the recoverability tasks performed by man. This paper explains the measures taken by RNLN to optimise the traditional Damage Control and Fire Fighting tasks and pays attention to research that aims at finding ways to reduce human tasks due to introduction of the proper automation solutions.
