ATIS DATA SOURCES • Data Sources • Data is not owned by ATIS program • Same data (CDs) are used by all versions of ATIS • Data not necessarily conducive to Web searches • Bundling typically by ship classes • Raster TM CDs • Produced/ Distributed by NSDSA Port Huenueme CA • Bundling and distribution is by ship class • SEA 07 Controls Distribution of Submarine CDs • Over 820 Raster TM CDs • ETM CDs • Produced/Distributed by designated TMMA • Documents are OCR scanned and SGML tagged • Source data is maintained in SGML repositories • ETMs are bundled and distributed on ATIS compatible CDs • Over 230 ETM CDs
ATIS DATA SOURCES • Drawing CDs • Produced by planning yard for respective ship class • Not all ships of a given class receive all CDs for that class • Ex. DDG 51 class has multiple flights with separate drawings per class • Source of data is typically JEDMICS • Bundled/distributed by ship classes • Output of raster scanning process/extract from JEDMICS source repository • Not all images/data loaded in JEDMICS is bundled on ATIS CDs • Submarine drawing CDs produced by Electric Boat and AMSEC, LLC • Over 2000 raster ED CDs • Lists of applicable CDs • ATIS CD Cross Reference List • TDMIS and GENITP • Planning Yard Information
ACCESSING ATIS DATA • Data is typically indexed into ATIS by Ship Class • Corresponding configuration databases are produced by ship class • Data indexing problems can occur in drawing databases if multiple classes are combined in one set of databases • ATIS functionality supports one set of databases on line at a time • Standalone ATIS has a utility program that allows for switching sets of databases at start up • Capability cannot be supported in network version • Multi-class capability planned for network ATIS in the future
ATIS INSTALLATIONS • 31 ships running 16-bit • 27 networked • 258 ships running 32-bit • 180 networked (168 with raid) • 78 standalone • Remaining ships being migrated to 32 bit as hardware is replaced by SPAWAR • Replacement of jukeboxes with raid as funding and schedule permits • Foreign military sales (FMS) support • Royal Australian Navy • Spanish navy • Saudi Arabian navy • Bahrain navy • Egyptian navy
SUMMARY • ATIS is installed on • 200+ shipboard networks • 82 standalone ship installations • over 800 shore facilities • TM and ED CDs are typically bundled and distributed by ship classes • Configuration databases are bundled by ship classes • Data is designed to be accessed in client server and Web ATIS
GENERIC SDI MODULE • Generic Ships Drawing Index (SDI) module is used by many ship classes to search for engineering drawings by: • CIN/ESWBS/SWBS • Consolidated Index Number • Expanded Ship Work Breakdown Structure • Ship Work Breakdown Structure • Drawing Number • Drawing Title • Custom Search
GENITP MODULE • Designed to be ITP module for all ATIS ships to use • Databases generated from data in TDMIS database • Allow Administrator to tailor ITP database to several classes, individual class, or hull level • ITP import and removal utilities to aid Administrator in building/correcting (additions, deletions, collations, etc….) TM databases as well as auditing database for missing TMs • GENITP Search module allows searches by: • PUB ID/TITLE • APL/RIC • ALTERATION • HSC • Provides availability status of publications (RASTER, ETM, PAPER)
SCLSIS MODULE • SCLSIS Module allows for searching for TM or ED based on: • Alteration • APL/AEL(RIC) (Allowance Parts List/Allowance Equipage List(Repairable Identification Code) • APL/AEL(RIC) Nomenclature • CAGE(FSCM) (Commercial And Government Entity (Federal Supply Code for Manufacturers)) • Document Type • Drawing Number • Drawing Title • EIC (Equipment Identification Code) • EIC Nomenclature • HSC/FGC Description (Hierarchical Structure Code/Functional Group Code) • HSC/FGC Number • Technical Manual Number • Technical Manual Title • Valve Mark/Symbol Number • Work Center

VALVE LABEL INDEX (VLI) MODULE • Valve Label Index is a module allows a user to search for ED or TM by: • SNV by APL • RPAV by APL • SRD by System • VTI by Valve Type • VLI by Valve Label • SNV Standard Navy Valves - Valves which have been developed by the Navy to standardize the use and manufacture of valves often used on ships. SNVs are organized by APL/AEL(RIC). • RPAV Reactor Plant Auxiliary Valves - A table listing the auxiliary valves for the reactor plant by APL/AEL(RIC). • SRD Selected Record Drawings - A table of ship unique drawings that have been verified to reflect the individual ship configuration for certain critical systems. SRDs are organized by system. • VTI Valve Type Index - The VTI is an computer based index that allows the user to search for valves by various methods. It is organized by valve type and valve size. This permits the user to search for engineering drawings and technical manuals in cases where the valve label is not known.
GENERIC INDEX MODULE • Generic Index Module allows users to search for engineering drawings or technical manuals by one to five fields of the Generic Index Data that is loaded • Alternative index that data providers can use when none of the other configuration indicies meet their requirements • Data Fields are defined by the data provider • Can search for partial match, exact match, or initial match of entered search criteria • Currently being used by NAVSEA 08/WPAD to allow searches for Nuclear Valve Drawings (less complex than creating an SDI database for the drawings)
INTERFAC.EXE • Interfac.Exe allows other applications to link directly into ATIS TM and ED databases to launch/display a TM or ED • Allows ETM developers to use external SGML references in SGML documents to link to TMs not under control of the developer • ATIS database controls linkage so developers do not need to keep TMs in synch • ETM developers using this function for linking • Can link back into ATIS from HTML pages using ACTIVE X controls in Web ATIS (will be part of 32 bit ATIS version 1.4). Supports the following linkages • Windows based product to 32 bit ATIS • Windows based product to Web ATIS • HTML based product to 32 bit ATIS • HTML based product to Web ATIS • More information in ATIS AIS documentation
