INTEGRATED PLATFORM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (IPMS)
ON BOARDING TRAINING SYSTEM (OBTS)
The ONEGA CONTROL SYSTEM OBTS (On-Board Training System) permits switching of workstations to Simulation Mode & provides a realistic operational training environment. Concept of OBTS is to train an individual or a team using simulated environment without affecting the real time control and monitoring functions of P15B. OBTS is a networked PC-based simulator with on-screen presentation of control panels designed for education and training of ship’s crew.
The OBTS software has been specifically designed to recreate any environments that the operator of a vessel may encounter while they are out at sea. The software used has been created especially for the operation of vessels and can be fully customized to meet the requirements of any ship.
Benefits of OBTS
⦁ Users can be trained on the vessel rather than in a classroom.
⦁ The OBTS software can be designed to look exactly like the equipment On-board the vessel and not a standard product.
⦁ Users of ship equipment can be trained up while being out at sea.
⦁ Users can maintain their level of knowledge and skills so that they are always prepared for doing a task.
⦁ A user can train him selves if need be using the guidance of the lessons on OBTS
⦁ A user can be trained an instructor through the OBTS rather than using books or other learning resources.
⦁ A number of users can be trained at the same time through OBTS (the amount of users depends on the amount of Workstations on board the vessel).
ACCESSING OBTS
Figure 1 Logging into OBTS
When the ‘Log In’ button is clicked popup will appear in the middle of the screen as shown below.
Figure 2 Login Popup
There are two ways to enter the password. One is by using the keyboard and one is by a keypad using the mouse. The password entered is the unique 8-digit password set for the user.
This is the menu for OBTS where the instructor can navigate to which ever part of the OBTS they require
BATTLE DAMAGE CONTROL SYSTEM (BDCS)
The Battle Damage Control System (BDCS) includes monitoring and control of a number of ship’s systems to assess the damage due to fire & flood and subsequently carrying out damage control activities. The various systems that aid in detecting the damage are AFDS, AFAS. The various systems that are controlled & monitored by BDCS of IPMS for damage control functions include: Fire Main system, Major Fire Fighting systems, Salvage, CO2 Systems, Flooding, Ventilation , Pre-wetting system.
Battle Damage Control System (BDCS) helps the damage control team to manage the full range of emergency situations resulting from fire & flood.
BDCS application software provides following sections:
⦁ Resources Tab
⦁ Kill cards Tab
⦁ Incident Plotting Tab
⦁ Event List Tab
⦁ Ship Overview Tab
⦁ Magnifying window Tab
⦁ System Layer Tab
⦁ Legends Information
⦁ Summary Window
⦁ DC Post navigation
⦁ Deck layout in 2 dimensional view
⦁ Zoom in – Zoom out function
⦁ IPMS navigation

BDCS FEATURES
The main features of BDCS are as follows:
⦁ Incident management and plotting.
⦁ 2-D representation of the ship’s General Arrangement Plan on which all plots are performed.
⦁ Number of layers to display ship systems information as overlay on the General Arrangement Plan
⦁ Kill cards to provide support in managing incident or state transition.
⦁ Management of personnel and material resources.
⦁ Event logging and report generation of all damage control events.
⦁ Zooming and Magnifying facility of each compartment.
⦁ Direct interaction with ship stability calculation and related advice.
⦁ BDCS HMI & General Arrangement Plan (GAP)
- Incident Management – There are different layers which will be displayed along with incident board based on user selection.
- Resources in Flood affected area – Software based kill card is incorporated in BDCS to support the rapid decision making to control damage so as to restore battle readiness capability. The kill card includes all the information relevant to the equipment, safety systems, personnel etc of a ship’s compartment
- Kill card – Kill cards help the operator to manage a particular incident or to achieve a particular state of ship readiness. Interactive checklists provide full management of an incident by streamlining actions to be taken at remote site (Place of Emergency) in the event of emergency and also monitoring of status of various sensors and devices is feasible in this option. Link to mimic pages is possible in the system to monitor of status of various sensors and devices.
