Abstract: A decision support and control system including a Graphical User Interface configured for displaying multiple transit options for a platform with respect to hazard and objects along with accompanying methods is provided. The methods and apparatus may receive information from a variety of systems such as a ship's radar and electro-optical systems to derive threat information, and a ship's weapon systems that may include both lethal and non-lethal weapons, the maximum and minimum range of the weapons, the accuracy characteristics of the weapons, and the maximum and minimum azimuth angles that the weapons can engage. The apparatus and methods may provide multiple transit options for a ship that provides tactical suggestions for a ship to successfully defend itself against a swarm attack by multiple incoming threats. Such tactical suggestions illustratively account for the various paths being presented and may also present performance metrics such as associated probabilities of success.

Abstract: A system for data collection and analysis is provided comprising a first network having at least one system element, at least one collection device communicably coupled to the at least one system element and configured to receive data communications from the least one system element and transmit the data. The system including a data management system communicably coupled to the collection device and configured to receive and store the transmitted data. The system further including a data analysis network communicably coupled to the first network and configured to retrieve data from the first network, the data analysis network including a management server having logic configured to at least one of analyze the retrieved data and determine remaining useful life (RUL) of at least one system element, identify a failure mode associated with the at least one system element, and determine a maintenance action sufficient to remedy a system failure corresponding to the identified failure mode.
