Seaworthiness Management Assurance Reporting Tool
Seaworthiness Management Assurance Reporting Tool (SMART) is being developed with Australian Navy SURFACE FORCE to alleviate data overload by presenting the key issues that affect platform seaworthiness. This enables clear, traceable decisions to be made at a senior command level to mitigate and treat operational risks.
SMART provides the OQE captured through each stage of the sea release process and clearly highlights non-compliance, scheduling issues and any other risks to seaworthiness. Compliance checks based on the seaworthiness policy are automated and flagged by exception.
SMART analyses huge volumes of data and presents the key metrics that track seaworthiness at the command level. Superior knowledge of seaworthiness is enabling the Surface Force to better appreciate risk and adherence to policy. Moreover, understanding the current and future availability and lethality of a platform to meet operational requirements offers opportunities for early intervention and prevention.
The software captures the scheme interdependencies of complement, configuration, individual and collective training and supply to mission-essential and non-mission essential tasks. This enables identification of real-time deficiencies and predictive analysis of seaworthiness against on the Operating and Support Intent (OSI).
