FAST
TACTIC The FAST
TACTical Integration Console (FAST TACTIC) is an
environmental database system under development at JHU/APL.
It includes the SOARED relational database; the associated
graphical user interface; interfaces to existing submarine
environmental sensors; and an interface to other submarine
systems. The intent
of the FAST TACTIC system is to allow an operator to locate
environmental data, by geographic position or time, using a
portable laptop-based system. The data may be viewed to
determine its validity or usefulness and then transferred to
a common environmental library or a tactical system such as
a Tactical Decision Aid, Sonar, Fire Control, or Navigation.
Subsequently, the data could be used for preparing plans,
operating a tactical system, or for post-watch or
post-mission reporting.
