Paradigm for Optical Networks in Ships: Flexible Communications Infrastructure

  • Paradigm for Optical Networks in Ships: Flexible Communications Infrastructure
Overview

Paradigm for Optical Networks in Ships: Flexible Communications Infrastructure (2016-426)

Project Team:

  • Penn State Electro-Optics Center (EOC)
  • Applied Communication Sciences
  • Ingalls Shipbuilding

2016

NSRP ASE Investment: $150K

Objective:

This project investigated a paradigm shift to a model where:  (1) ship system components are serviced by a minimum number of optical networks, (2) technical improvements introduced in commercial networks and data centers are commonly used, (3) shipyards are responsible for installation of the networks, and (4) widely recognized interface standards define the boundary between the network and the client equipment.  The project team accomplished the following tasks:

  • Identified interface protocols and specifications commonly used in ships
  • Evaluated the ecosystem for common component performance and projected costs
  • Identified established optical network architectures and standards
  • Developed a cost model for new designs, life cycle management, and upgrades
  • Developed a roadmap for implementation

Key Deliverables:
