| Abstract: |
In-Depth Engineering hereby proposes the Advanced Shore Side Intelligent Support Technology (ASSIST) innovative research program to respond to a need for a Long Distance Remote Maintenance Capability aboard U.S. Aircraft Carriers. The ASSIST system will facilitate a remote maintenance system that reduces auxiliary equipment Mean Time to Repair and saves the cost and lost time required for SME on-site assistance. ASSIST is composed of Video Chat, Ship Interface, Machinery Control System (MCS) interface, Data Capture, Portable Data Acquisition (PDA), Collaboration and Documentation functionality. The existing ship networking and Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRnet) are used to facilitate communications between the ship and the shore. Together these functions provide an SME the ability to perform long distance remote maintenance of auxiliary systems. |
| Benefits: |
Multiple commercialization venues will be pursued. The first is the implementation of ASSIST on other platforms; including Aegis Destroyers and the Integrated Undersea Surveillance T-AGOS ships - each of whom have similar requirements for remote maintenance capability. Additional commercialization opportunities exist within the Army and Marine Corps; who will benefit from remote maintenance capability aboard tanks and aircraft when subject matter experts are needed.
Non-DoD commercialization will include the Coast Guard within the Department of Homeland Security. Commercial applications of ASSIST include use in numerous remote locations where it is difficult to obtain technical support in a timely manner; such as SME expertise needed by oil companies for example, in the repair of extremely remote rigs and platforms.
