Full textAbstract:
Arbetet syftar till att oversiktligt beskriva varldens sjofart, studera bladelementteori i en propellerstudie, forprojektera ett handelsfartyg som ska frakta 12 000 TEU ( Twenty{Foot Equivalent Unit) mellan Rotterdam och Singapore pa 40 dagar, samt att utreda regelverket EEDI ( Energy Eciency Design Index ) som ska leda till energieektivisering av sjofarten. Undersokning av sjofarten visar att kostnadseektiva sjotransporter har drivit pa utvecklingen mot en globaliserad varld. Tack vare sjofarten har industrier kunnat etablera sig pa nya omraden, men negativ miljopaverkan ar fortfarande ett problem. Under projekteringen visas att containerfartygets huvuddimensioner uppfyller krav pa lastutrymme och begransningar i Suez{kanalen. Djupgaende och fribord kan andras, men fribord liksom antal vattentata sektioner bor undersokas vidare. Fartyget ar nagot kursinstabilt. Tyngpunkten i vertikalled har en felmarignal pa knappt fyra meter. Propellern har en relativt lag verkningsgrad pa 58%, utrymme nns att optimera losningen. Transporten ar miljomassigt hallbar jamfort med andra transporttyper. Studien av EEDI visar att containerfartygets approximativa CO 2{utslapp pa 10{20 gCO 2/(tonkm) bor sankas till under 5.4 gCO2/(tonkm), exempelvis genom optimerad propellerlosning och motorval. Pa lang sikt kan EEDI minska utslapp av koldioxid fran varldens fartygsotta om det forbattras i enlighet med att ny teknik utvecklas och genom att anvanda den lardom som erhalls.En ingenjor som arbetar inom omradet marin teknik kan vara allt ifran maskinist och driftsingenjor till skeppsbyggare. Arbetsplatser kan forutom till sjoss vara i exempelvis tillverknings- och processindustrin, eller inom hamn- och rederiverksamhet. Detaljkunskap varierar med omrade, men gemensamt for alla inriktningar ar grundlaggande kunskap om sjofart, skeppsteknik och hallbar utveckling. Syftet med arbetet ar att behandla fyra omraden inom marin teknik: sjofart, propellermodellering, forprojektering av fartyg och energieektivisering av fartyg. Arbetet ar en introduktion till omradet marintekniska system och skeppsbyggnad, och malet ar att med ingenjorsmassiga medel och fardigheter undersoka och losa problem kopplade till detta omrade. Forst sker en allman orientering pa sjofartsmaknaden. Varldens sjofart unders oks i termer av olika sjofartsmaknader och sjofartens aktorer. Det globala transportarbetet, huvudsakliga transportvagar och svenska aspekter for olika marknader utreds, liksom sjofartsaktorernas olika roller. Aven dagens storsta miljorelaterade problem med sjofart undersoks, ochatgarder for att handskas med problemen studeras. En propellerstudie genomfors, dar bladelementteori anvands for att analysera en fartygspropeller. Eektbehov och framdrivning undersoks, och styrkor och begransningar med bladelementteori diskuteras. Under propellermodelleringen implementeras teorin aven i berakningsprogrammet Matlab. Arbetet redovisas i Bilaga 2. Resultat och kunskap fran propellerstudien anvands i arbetets andra del, forprojektering av ett handelsfartyg. Forprojekteringen behandlar transportscenariot att frakta 12 000 TEU ( Twenty{Foot Equivalent Unit) mellan Rotterdam och Singapore pa 40 dagar. Bland annat undersoks stabilitet, motstand och eektbehov, samt framdrivning for handelsfartyg. Bivillkor, som att ta hansyn till fysiska begransningar i hamnar och folja internationella regelverk om intaktstabilitet och vattentata sektioner, samt att studera losningen ur ett hallbarhetsperspektiv, behandlas ocksa under forprojekteringen. Arbetets sista del handlar om energieektivisering av fartyg. Sjotransporter ar miljomassigt komplicerade och darfor gors en studie av IMO:s framtagna regelverk EEDI, ett regelverk som tradde i kraft i ar och syftar till att minska utslapp av vaxthusgasen CO 2 fran varldens sjofart. Fragorna "Vilka energieektiviseringar kan komma av EEDI?" och "Vilken problematik nns kopplad till EEDI?" besvaras, och det tidigare projekterade fartyget undersoks i termer av energieektivisering.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzes the economic causes for continued excess demand in the Naval Telecommunications System (NTS). It provides a framework for relating the NTS market to the market for all Naval record communications. Substitute systems for specific types of Naval messages are identified along with reasons why these systems are not used. In some cases, facsimile (FAX) or personal computer (PC) networking can substitute for the NTS. Unfortunately, most users do not have access to these systems and/or would have to use their budget to gain access to and use these systems. Using microeconomic analysis, several alternative policies to reduce excess NTS demand are discussed in this thesis. Alternatives explored includecharging prices for NTS use, introducing inefficiencies to the NTS, subsidizing all Naval record communications, and administratively denying NTS use by precedence, community, and/or time period. For various reasons, pricing, introducing inefficiencies, and subsidizing record communications are not considered viable solutions. Administrative denial methods may be a more viable way to reduce demand for the NTS during peak periods.

Full textAbstract:
Denna rapport behandlar alla delmoment som ingår i kursen Naval Architecture, ett kandidatexamensarbete i marina system. Delmomenten är en essä om sjöfart (Kapiter 3. Sjöfart), en fartygsprojektering av ett kryssningsfartyg (Kapitel 4. Fartygsprojektering) samt en fördjupning i framtagning av en konceplösning av ett pendelbåtssystem i Stockholm (Kapitel 5. Modernt pendeltågstonnage, konceptlösn). I fartygsprojekteringen har ett kryssningsfartyg tagits fram som går Miami-Bahamas-Bermuda-Madeira-Malaga-Korsika-Rome-Alexandria. Resan ska ta 1400 passagerare och ta 21 dagar. Resultatet blev ett 220 meter långt fartyg som går med 18 knop. Hänsyn har tagits till internationella regler och miljöpåverkan i form av utsläpp av koldioxid per personkilometer är 164 g. Detta fartyg är framtaget efter vissa krav och är en bra grund för fortsatt fartygsprojektering. Alla värden är inte acceptrabla enligt regulationer och kan behöva räknas om vid eventuell vidareutveckling (exempelvis kursstabiliteten som inte är tillräckligt hög). Konceptet för pendelbåtssystemet behandlar rutter och restider, fartygskoncept, inredning, framdrivning av fartyg samt utformning av terminaler. Målet är att ta fram ett system som gynnar pendlare i stockholm och förbättrar restiden på tugnt trafikerade pendlingssträckor. Detta resulterade i en förändring av den befintliga djurgårdslinjen, samt utformning av två nya linjer, Riddarfjärdslinjen samt Solna strand-Årstadal. Utformningen av fartyg och linjer har utgått från krav presenterade i en Request For Information (RFI) publicerad av Trafikförvaltningen (TF), där TF efterlyser ett pendelbåtssytem som uppfyller vissa krav. Fartygen som har tagits fram är baserade på samma skrov för de tre linjerna för att underlätta tillverkning, men har olika inredning då de olika linjerna har olika krav på kapacitet av passagerare, cyklar och barnvagnar.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedTensions between society and the uniformed leaders of the military have produced disastrous results for some democracies. If the peaceful nature of American civil-military relations is to continue through the twenty-first century, a certain level of understanding and shared views need to exist between the military's senior leaders and society. This thesis explores whether senior leaders of the naval service are becoming isolated from society; and, if so, the implications this divide may have on civil-military relations. Three measures of civil- military interaction--racial/ethnic representation, military experience, and shared values--are used to assess the extent of isolation between the nation's naval leaders and society. These measures of interaction are examined with historical and projected statistics on racial/ethnic representation among naval officers, Congressional voting records on defense-related legislation, and interviews with a sample of retired flag and general officers. The results suggest growing isolation and tension between naval leaders and society

Full textAbstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.In this era of scarce resources and intensified interest in reducing governmental spending, organizations such as Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) and Naval Support Activity, Monterey Bay (NSAMB) find themselves under heavy scrutiny to ensure they are managing their commands at the utmost level of efficiency. This study provides a "snapshot" of the functions, structures, costs, resources, and cost saving methods in place for these two co-existing commands in FY98 as a source of information for future benchmarking studies. By examining command flow diagrams, budgetary documents, and manpower listings, and conducting interviews with NPS and NSAMB personnel employed in these areas, the data acquired for this thesis have been molded into a document that provides a baseline for past and future year comparisons. As a result of data comparison, a co-dependent, vertical relationship between NPS and NSAMB was discovered. Functional redundancies in areas such as administration, resource management, and computer support were also identified

Full textAbstract:
Information superiority is the foundation for Joint Vision 2010 and the method tor services to dominate the battlefield. The goal of IT21 is to rapidly implement a warfighting information network. To facilitate the engagement of information warfare, this thesis proposes that all officers be issued a laptop computer. This thesis discusses how a computer can be as valuable as a ifle or a tank, and possibly change the way the Department of Defense fights wars. With a laptop computer, officers can have 24 hrs access to critical information - turning all Naval officers into Information Warriors! When officers transfer, they will be immediately on line at their new duty station. This thesis uses the Technical Architecture for Information Management (TAFIM) model for strategic planning and evaluatesthree migration paths: a paycheck computer allowance; continuing buying desktop computers within individual command budgets; and leasing laptop computers. The alternatives are evaluated using an Information Technology Assessment Worksheet. This thesis recommends that the best alternative is to lease computers for all officers and have Naval Information Systems Management Center (NISMC) be the program manager. This thesis dearly shows that after a three-year period the cost of leasing a computer is more economical than purchasing a computer

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007."June 2007."
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 238-272).
Structural catastrophic failure of naval vessels due to extreme loads such as underwater or air explosion, high velocity impact (torpedoes), or hydrodynamic loads (high speed vessels) is primarily caused by fracture. Traditionally, naval structures have been designed to resist yielding, buckling and fatigue, but not fracture. Consequently, adequate methods and procedures to design ships against fracture have not been developed. The rapidly increasing application of lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloys, in the shipbuilding industry requires fundamental understanding of mechanisms and mechanics of fracture that govern naval stiffened panels. Therefore, a comprehensive tool consisting of application of advanced fracture models, material calibration, and validation through component testing is provided that will increase the survivability envelope and speed up the development process of new vessels. Cracking is a major cause of structural degradation, which is a primary source of costly repair work on metal structures. This thesis studies the structural response of various stiffened plates and compares them with unstiffened plates represented by compact tension (CT) specimens.
(cont.) An extensive experimental program is presented that includes coupon testing and small and intermediate scale tests on naval aluminum structures including a variety of monolithic T-type extruded and flatbar welded specimens. Representative naval designs are selected and subjected to quasi-static loading and a number of key parameters, such as geometry, loading rate and structural configuration are evaluated with respect to fracture. Numerical modeling and analyses of ductile fracture initiation and propagation on a pre-cracked geometry using a commercial finite element code (ABAQUS), taking into account the behavior of simple uncracked material, has been performed showing a very good agreement with small and intermediate scale tests. Two major contributions of this thesis are the mapping of crack patterns in stiffened plates and the development of a methodology which enables ship designers to evaluate critical areas within a structure with respect to crack initiation, propagation, optimum material usage, and computational cost.

O surgimento da construção naval no Brasil ocorre ainda no período colonial, em suas formas naturais e artesanais, copiavam-se tanto processos indígenas quanto as tradicionais formas europeias, especialmente as portuguesas; enquanto artesanato e manufatura continuam presentes até mesmo no presente século XXI. A construção naval industrial surge no século XIX especialmente na cidade do Rio de Janeiro e Baía da Guanabara. O estaleiro da Ponta de Areia em Niterói é seu marco inicial. Tem continuidade com Henrique Lage, no inicio do Século XX, na Ilha do Viana, Niterói (RJ), através de oficinas de reparos e depois construção introduzem-se no Brasil as técnicas da Industrialização através do aço, das forjas e da eletricidade; porém este surto teve vida breve e não desembocou em uma industrialização completa do setor. Modernamente é após os anos 50, quando surgem as ferramentas financeiras e jurídicas necessárias, através de taxas específicas e da proteção nacional à navegação de cabotagem e longo curso que se inicia a fase de industrialização dos estaleiros brasileiros. Contando com capitais brasileiros estatais e estrangeiros, constrói-se um grande parque industrial centrado no Rio de Janeiro, mas com unidades implantadas nas Regiões Sul Nordeste e Norte do Brasil. Apenas durante o ciclo de governos ditatoriais nos ano 60 e 70 é que esta industrialização se completa, atingindo seu ápice no período 1975 - 1980 e mergulhando em seguida em um processo de paralisia característico da crise de financiamento do estado brasileiro que marcou as duas décadas seguintes. Apenas no século XXI ressurge todo seu potencial, na característica de vasta capacidade ociosa, com os empreendimentos de exploração do petróleo na plataforma continental brasileira, potencializados pelo descobrimento das amplas jazidas petrolíferas da camada do Pré-Sal. A partir de um programa governamental de incentivo e proteção à indústria naval estabelecida no Brasil, retomam-se as produções nos antigos estaleiros e iniciam-se novas construções de plantas modernas e capazes de atender a forte demanda de conteúdo nacional de empresas de exploração petrolífera. A modernização do parque de construção naval tem enormes desafios de completar sua cadeia de produção e fornecedores e enfrentar a forte concorrência dos estaleiros de Cingapura, da Coréia do Sul e da China que dominam amplamente as cadeias produtivas da construção naval ligada aos setores de transporte marítimo e exploração de óleo offshore através de grandes empresas. Empresas essas que contam com forte apoio governamental mediante subsídios financeiros e políticas específicas para o setor.
The emergence of shipbuilding in Brazil is still in the colonial period, in their natural forms and craft, copying processes and forms both indigenous traditional European, especially the Portuguese ones. These kinds of manufacturing are still present even in this century with traditional crafts sailing at all Brazil coast line. The shipbuilding industry in the nineteenth century appears especially in the city of Rio de Janeiro and Bay of Guanabara. The Ponta de Areia shipyard in Niterói is the initial mark. On the beginnings of the 20th Century, Henrique Lage continues on the Ilha do Viana, Niterói (RJ), through repairs and construction workshops the techniques of steel industrialization forgery and electrified technics is introduced in Brazil, but this outbreak had a brief life and had not culminated in a full industrialization of the sector. Nowadays it is after 1950 decade, when there are created the financial and legal tools necessary, through specific charges and protecting national coastal and long course shipping markets that begins the process of industrialization of the Brazilian shipyards. With Brazilian state and foreign capital to build a large industrial park centered in Rio de Janeiro state, but with some units deployed in the South East and northern Brazil. Only during the cycle of dictatorships in years 60 and 70 is that this industrialization is completed, reaching its apex in the period 1975 to 1980 and then dipping in a process of paralysis characteristic of the Brazilian state funding crisis that marked the next two decades. Only on the twenty-first century this sector emerges with full potential, the characteristic of occupying the large excess capacity of this sector, with the developments of oil exploration in the Brazilian continental shelf, fueled by the discovery of large oilfields in the pre-salt layer. From a government program to encourage and protect the marine industry established in Brazil to resume productions in the old shipyards and begin new construction of modern plants and able to meet the strong demand for local content for oil exploration companies. The modernization of shipbuilding have huge challenges to complete their supply chain and suppliers and face strong competition from shipyards in Singapore, South Korea and China that largely dominate the productive shipbuilding chains industries that are linked with commercial shipping and offshore oil exploration. These major companies that have strong government support through subsidies and financial policies specific to the sector.

La composition, l’organisation et le fonctionnement de la marine de guerre vénitienne ont fait l’objet de nombreuses études pour l’époque médiévale et le XVIe siècle, mais les historiens ont largement négligé le XVIIe siècle. Pourtant, cette période joue un rôle crucial dans l’histoire maritime de la Sérénissime. Alors qu’à l’orée du XVIIe siècle, la marine vénitienne était exclusivement composée de galères, elle comprend cent ans plus tard une majorité de vaisseaux de ligne, tandis que les trirèmes vénitiennes, qui sont toujours utilisées en période de paix pour assurer la police de l’Adriatique et de la mer Ionienne, ne servent plus que de force d’appoint dans les moments de guerre.Le présent travail considère cette évolution, sous l'aspect soit opérationnel qui gestionnaire et d'organisation. À ce but, il a été réparti en deux tranches. En la première, on a parcouru les événements qui ont intéressé la marine vénitienne dans la période qui va de 1572 au 1699. Ici, jusqu'à 1635 environ, les principaux adversaires ne furent plus les Turcs, mais les force des Habsbourg, dans leur double déclinaison italique-espagnole et autrichienne, et seulement après le 1645 allèrent recommencer les conflits avec l'Empire Ottoman. Dans la seconde tranche du travail on a analysées les structures sur lesquels s’articulaient la marine vénitienne et ses hommes. En particulier on a distinguées les forces ordinaires de celles extraordinaires, en opérant une séparation nette entre les deux composants de la flotte et les correspondantes organisationsThe composition, the organization and the functioning of the Venetian Navy have been the subject of numerous studies for the medieval time and the XVIth century, but the historians have disregarded the XVIIth century. Yet, this period plays a crucial role in the maritime history of the Serenissima. Whereas to the verge of the XVIIth century, the Venetian Navy was composed exclusively of galleys, a hundred years later it consisted of a majority of ships-of-the-line, while the Venetian triremes, which were always used in period of peace to assure the police of the Adriatic and the sea Ionian, acted only by balancing force in the wars. The present work considers this evolution, under the aspect either operational then of administration and organization. To this purpose, it has been distributed in two sections. The first part looks at the events that interested the Venetian Navy in the period that go from 1572 to 1699. Here, until about 1635, the main adversaries were not anymore the Turks, but the Hapsburg forces, in their double Spanish-Italic and Austrian declination, and only after the 1645 the conflicts with the Ottoman empire were going to restart. The second part of the work analyses the structures on which were articulated the Venetian Navy and her tools and men. In particular it has distinguished the ordinary forces from those extraordinary, operating a clean separation between the two components of the fleet and the respective organizations

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to assist management at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) and Naval Support Activity-Monterey Bay (NSA-MB) to determine what civilian non-faculty employee jobs are likely to be left vacant in the next three years due to attrition and to identify what training and skills will be needed by personnel whose jobs may be eliminated in order to be transferred to jobs left vacant due to attrition. The research methods include forecasting and work-analysis. The data were obtained from the Defense Civilian Personnel Data System file for fiscal years 1989 to 1996. The results show ten jobs, based on average number of accessions, attrition rates, forecasted vacancies, and qualification similarities, that may be left vacant to receive transferred personnel. The results also show that the training needed to effectively transfer personnel will be minimal and can be provided at local technical/vocational schools for those working in Clerical and Administrative positions and at NPS for those working in Administrative and Management positions. Because of job specialization and low attrition rates, Firefighters, Police Officers, Heavy Mobile Equipment Mechanics, and Automotive Mechanics will need much training if they are to be transferred to other jobs at NPS and NSA- MB. It is recommended that management intervene to change hiring practices to increase future vacancies in jobs whose vacancies may not be sufficient enough in number or may not appear quickly enough to receive personnel. Three scenarios using the forecasting model are presented to provide alternative methods of increasing those vacancies

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores U.S.-Brazilian relations through the prism of naval diplomacy between 1893 and 1930. Broadly, this dissertation explains the growth of U.S. naval involvement in Brazil, emphasizing the motives of Brazilian and American policymakers, and the role of naval officers in strengthening bilateral relations. This study begins by examining the Brazilian Navy Revolt of 1893-94, contextualizing it within the formative years of the Brazilian Republic, while discussing U.S. naval intervention in the conflict. It then explores U.S.-Brazilian naval relations in the early twentieth century, explaining the growing association between the two countries’ navies after the turn of the century. That collaboration culminated in cooperation during World War I, and with the establishment of an American Navy Commission to teach at the Brazilian Naval War College. Finally, this dissertation explores the dynamics of the U.S. Navy Mission in Brazil during the first formative years after its establishment in 1922. Introducing naval diplomacy to the historiography of U.S.-South American relations illuminates the origins of American influence in Brazil, including the crucial role of Brazilians in pursuing closer ties, as well as the development of a U.S. policy focused on reducing European influence, promoting regional security, and increasing U.S. commercial power in the region.

Esta tese tem por fim facilitar o desenvolvimento da indústria marítima brasileira. Os clusters industriais são amplamente reconhecidos como fontes de promoção da evolução tecnológica e por impactar positivamente em muitos aspectos do desenvolvimento regional. Por outro lado, os estaleiros de construção e reparo naval são tidos como estratégicos a soberania de muitos países, função do largo emprego de mão-de-obra e por produzir bens que possibilitem o fortalecimento das relações comerciais entre estados e países. Sendo a convergência destas duas situações bastante promissoras, decidiu-se focar esforços em propor um modelo de referência que pudesse ser empregado para desenvolvimento de clusters de indústrias marítimas. Estudos empíricos sobre clusters de indústrias relatam algumas externalidades positivas características, observadas em clusters bem-sucedidos. Outros trabalhos desenvolveram estudos sobre alguns fatores que são fundamentais ao sucesso de clusters. Existem ainda aqueles que externam algumas ações que foram tomadas para o desenvolvimento de clusters diversos. Esta tese propõe confluir estes trabalhos, encontrando as relações entre as ações, os fatores que condicionam o sucesso de clusters de indústria marítima e suas externalidades positivas para estabelecer uma proposta de modelo de ações para o desenvolvimento e consolidação de clusters de indústria marítima. Neste trabalho foi feita também, a avaliação dos reflexos das externalidades destes fatores que são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento de clusters nos fatores críticos de sucesso das empresas individuais. Para materialização desta proposta, estudou-se diversos trabalhos teóricos e empíricos sobre clusters industriais, situados tanto em países desenvolvidos como nos ainda em desenvolvimento. A premissa básica do trabalho foi determinar que fatores são determinantes para o desenvolvimento de clusters e quais objetivos estratégicos deveriam ser seguidos para que se pudesse consegui-los. Os esforços de pesquisa resultaram na materialização de uma proposta de modelo estratégico genérico, que, com as devidas adequações as características e necessidades regionais específicas, pode ser empregado para o desenvolvimento de qualquer cluster de indústria marítima. Em uma segunda etapa do trabalho, foi proposta a aplicação do modelo de referência para o desenvolvimento do cluster marítimo da região de Itajaí e Navegantes, em Santa Catarina. Para tanto, foi feita pesquisa de campo em pouco mais de 40 atores regionais, com a finalidade de determinar o estágio de desenvolvimento do cluster e qual nível de evolução e presença dos fatores que levam um cluster a ser bem-sucedido. Após a aplicação hipotética da proposta do modelo, os resultados foram colocados para avaliação de 4 gestores de empresas da região que acenaram positivamente para identificação dos resultados com a realidade regional. O modelo estratégico proposto mostrou-se sólido e abrangente, com boas perspectivas de sucesso na aplicação para o desenvolvimento de clusters de indústrias marítimas.
Abstract : This thesis aims to facilitate the Brazilian maritime industry development. Industrial clusters are widely recognized as a source of technological evolution promotion as well as for bringing positive impact over a range of aspects in the regional development. On the other hand, construction and repair boatyards are taken as strategic for many countries sovereignty, having the function of widespread hand labor and employment, and goods production that allow strengthening trade relations among states and countries. Considering the convergence of these two situations much promising, it was decided to focus efforts towards a reference model to be used for the development of maritime industries clusters. Industries clusters empirical studies report some characteristic positive externalities observed in successful clusters. Other studies discussed on some fundamental factors for clusters success. There are also those studies that point out some actions taken for the development of a variety of clusters. This thesis propose to converge these works, joining the actions relations, the conditioning factors for the maritime industries clusters and its positive externalities in order to establish an actions model proposal for the maritime industries clusters development and consolidation. This thesis includes also the assessment of the externalities consequences of these factors, which are essential for the clusters development in the critical success factor of individual companies. Several theoretical and empirical studies on industrial clusters, located in developed and underdeveloped countries were studied in order to achieve this proposal. The basic premise of the study was to determine decisive factors for clusters development and the strategic objectives that should be followed for their accomplishment. The research efforts resulted in the materialization of a generic strategic model proposal, which the appropriate adjustments to the specific regional needs and characteristics, can be used for the development of any marine industrial cluster. In a Second stage, it was proposed the reference model to be used to develop the maritime cluster in Itajaí and Navegantes region, state of Santa Catarina. Therefore, a field survey was conducted over a few more than 40 actors, in order to determine the cluster development stage and evaluate the evolution level and presence of the factors that may enable a cluster to be successful. After the hypothetical application of the proposed model, the results were placed for evaluation of 4 region companies? managers who waved positively to identify the results to the regional reality. The proposed strategic model proved to be solid and comprehensive, with good prospects of application success for the maritime industrial clusters development.

Full textAbstract:
On 1st September 1931, the most serious mutiny affecting the Chilean Navy in nearly two centuries of existence broke out. The various books and articles which have examined this subject have used as their sources the local press and the participants´ own stories. Just in a few cases, historians have had access to official documents, because they were seldom published or access was restricted until now. This has led to gross factual mistakes in the existing historiography, leading to questionable interpretations and to the creation of legends still alive in Chile and elsewhere. This thesis discusses these topics. The Chilean Navy has in its archives a collection of 35 volumes (about 9,200 pages) of Courts Martial official documents and proceedings never studied by historians. The author used these sources under a special authorization for academic purposes. The following theories of the causes of the mutiny commonly expounded by contemporaries and subsequent historians have been researched: a. Participation of Marxist groups in the origin of the mutiny and exploitation of it. b. Participation of the two Chilean populist political groups in the movement’s generation (headed by the former presidents Arturo Alessandri and Carlos Ibáñez) c. Army and Navy officers’ participation in politics during 1924 to 1931 and the consequence in the behaviour of the mutineers. Examination has also been made of connections with the mutiny on board HMS Lucia in Devonport in January 1931 which occurred while the Chilean battleship Latorre was being refitted at that port. Months later and being anchored in the port of Coquimbo, Chile, serious mutiny or revolt started on board Latorre and spread to other naval units as well as other Navy’s, Army’s and Air Force’s shore establishments. One week after the Chilean mutiny, the Invergordon mutiny started in the Royal Navy Atlantic Fleet. This thesis also compares both mutinies because they had many aspects in common.

Full textAbstract:
The present work examines naval exclusion zones, with particular emphasis on the jus in bello applicable to such zones. The issues presented by the establishment and use of naval exclusion relate to many aspects of the law of the sea and naval warfare. Naval exclusion zones represent an important issue for national security policy makers, in that the use of such zones during armed conflicts at sea can limit the geographic scope of the conflict. While such zones may promote the principles enshrined in Article 51 of the UN Charter and discourage belligerents from waging naval warfare on a global scale, the use of such zones have the potential for disaster, in that naval commanders who mistakenly operate under the assumption that such zones are “free-fire zones” run the risk of unlawfully sinking hospital ships or other protected vessels. Moreover, naval exclusion zones have become increasingly common during modern naval conflicts, including the Falklands, Iran-Iraq and Persian Gulf Wars. Finally, even when used within the bounds of international law, naval exclusion zones still have the potential to disrupt commercial uses of the seas since they often cut across the claims of neutrals, potentially interfering with neutral commerce, oil exploration or fishing. This thesis traces the development of naval exclusion zones, with particular emphasis on the following: • The historical uses of such zones • The permissible threatres of naval operations under the modern law of the sea regime • The permissible scope of activity within such zones vis-à- vis belligerent warships and merchant vessels • The rights of neutrals in and around naval exclusion zones • The legality of such zones as analysed through the traditional sources of international law The thesis then concludes with recommendations for clarifying and strengthening the rules concerning the scope of permissible activity within such zones.

This project is an assessment of the NAVCENT logistics system as it relates to support of naval expeditionary units such as Naval Construction Forces (NCF), Naval Special Warfare (NSW) forces, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units, and Fleet Hospitals. Based on literature from strategic management, logistics, and supply chain management, the research evaluates the existing theater logistics capabilities and the requirements of the supported expeditionary units. Due to the current world situation and availability of information, the focus is on the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) Area o Responsibility (AOR). A key finding is that the NAVCENT logistics system is adequate, but inefficient. Adequacy points to the fact that the resources and capabilities are in place in theater, while the inefficiencies are explained by lack of execution. The report recommends increased integration, awareness and doctrinal understanding in order to improve the NAVCENT logistics system. Sponsorship is provided by the Naval Operational Logistics Support Center, a newly created organization that serves as the focal point for operational logistics in the Navy and Marine Corps.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedThe Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) is the next generation of military satellite communications technology. Using a unique combination of satellite vehicles and radio access facilities, MUOS allows the end user unparalleled access to the global information grid (GIG) with a significant increase in voice and data capacity over legacy UFO systems. Leveraging current WCDMA technology used by commercial cellular companies, the MUOS system will allow uninterrupted communications worldwide. This research aims to identify gaps in existing naval helicopter network capabilities and how to apply MUOS to further increase operational effectiveness. Current and legacy helicopter platforms were analyzed regarding connectivity in a network centric environment. Using simple modeling techniques in order to reduce the throughput of the user terminal to 16 kbps enabled a simulation of load times of various Internet applications. Analyzing the load times of web applications gives an initial indication of the viability of MUOS in the rotary wing environment. Even when reduced to a throughput of 16 kbps, many of the applications would still be usable in benign flight regimes. Text- or chat-based applications will see the biggest benefit from MUOS technology, allowing aircrews to quickly disseminate information anywhere in the world.

This study proposes a theory of naval strategic planning for programming. It identifies and describes those factors which should influence how the Navy determines its future force requirements and eventual capabilities. The work is premised upon the following hypothesis: Within the context of national military strategy, naval long-range planning for future forces should be based on an in-depth understanding of three factors: (1) the future role of the sea in national military strategy; (2) the missions naval forces will be required to perform; and (3) future trends in naval warfare. The first task of planning is to guide the organization into an uncertain future. It must identify those factors which can be used to determine future requirements. The resultant concepts can then be further developed as required by the organization's overall needs. Strategic planning is first and foremost a frame of mind for conceptualizing those requirements. This study proposes a theory to establish that framework. Keywords: Naval planning; Military strategy; Theses. (sdw)

The objective of this project was to apply a systems engineering approach to explore concepts for augmenting naval capabilities in remote sea locations using a standard Systems Engineering methodology coupled with Design for Lean Six Sigma tools. Because of increased challenges related to complexity, cost, and timing, our engineering approach focused on finding failure modes early and implementing effective countermeasures. Following requirements analysis and identification of needed functions, the project team synthesized candidate solutions that introduced new concepts and also exploited known programs of record within the Navy, the Coast Guard, and the Marine Corps. These included Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), the aerostat Multi-Function Phased Array Radar, automation, and a Remote Sea Station. Results from analysis and simulations showed that an Automated Super-Highway Concept (ASHC) addressed the immediate need. The proposed approach combines the capabilities of the systems above to control the battle space in an effort to divert or destroy all non-friendly entities in the areas of interest. This approach also allows for persistent presence and analysis of the enemy movement while reducing the naval task force already assigned to patrol these areas.

Este trabalho está inserido em uma linha de pesquisa do Tecgraf/PUC-Rio de projeto de unidades flutuantes, tais como navios e plataformas. Nesta linha de pesquisa, é desenvolvido o programa gráfico Sstab, para análise e projeto de estabilidade estática de unidades flutuantes. Estabilidade de unidades flutuantes é um critério fundamental em um projeto naval. Para aprovar um projeto naval é necessário satisfazer vários critérios, entre estes, a obtenção da situação de equilíbrio da unidade quando submetida às situações de carregamento, a avaliação satisfatória dos cálculos das solicitações de vento, a avaliação satisfatória da curva de estabilidade limite e a avaliação satisfatória dos planos de borda livre da unidade. O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi implementar no Sstab procedimentos necessários para realização de verificações de projeto de forma integrada e automática. Essas tarefas são divididas em quatro passos distintos, cada um dependente da antecessor: Definição automática de carregamento ótimo; Cálculo das solicitações de vento usando hardware gráfico; Definição da curva de estabilidade limite; Definição integrada dos planos de borda livre e integridade estanque do casco. Especificamente, este trabalho tem por objetivo explicar os critérios e algoritmos inerentes a cada um desses passos.
The work done is about a research of floating units, as ships and platforms, conducted by Tecgraf/ PUC-Rio. In this line of research, the Sstab program was developed to do the analysis of static stability of floating units. Stability of floating units is a fundamental criterion in developing a naval project. For a project to be approved, there are several criterions that it must satisfy. Among these criterions, the unit must get to an equilibrium position for all possible loading conditions and a satisfactory behavior when put under wind and stream forces situations. The evaluation of the model´s KG Max curve must have a satisfactory result and its Beach Line computed and approved. The main objective of this work was to implement in the Sstab program the necessaries algorithms to automatic execute these verifications. There are four main steps to this work: A sequential linear algorithm for automatic loading of a floating unit; An algorithm to compute wind forces by using a graphic hardware; An algorithm to automatic compute the KG Max curve; An automatic computation of the Beach Lines and classification of the opening points of the unit. This document will explain the criterions adopted and the algorithms for each step above.

Thesis (MMil)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since the beginning of naval power, navies have been used by their states as instruments of foreign policy. In South Africa, the political transition since 1994 originated the evolution of the country’s foreign policy. Accordingly, foreign policy has implications for the South African Navy (SAN). Traditionally, navies have three main roles, namely: military, policing and diplomatic, roles. This study only focuses on the diplomatic role of the navy, termed naval diplomacy. In this regard, the SAN is the custodian of South African naval diplomacy. The purpose of this study is to investigate and theoretically appraise the nature and scope of South African naval diplomacy since 1994. The study has two objectives: firstly, it seeks to outline the most salient features of South Africa’s foreign policy, post-1994, as the framework for naval diplomacy; and secondly, it seeks to analyse and describe how the SAN has utilised naval diplomacy, namely: maritime coercion, naval cooperation, international maritime assistance, and international conflict resolution and management, in pursuit of South Africa’s foreign policy objectives. The research methodology is a qualitative descriptive analysis, using a literature study, factual data sources, and interviews, as techniques. Both primary and secondary sources are consulted. This study makes an original contribution to the gap in the literature on South African naval diplomacy. In this regard, with the procurement of the recent ships and submarines, South African naval diplomatic capabilities have improved significantly. It is for this reason that the SAN is currently instrumental in maritime coercion in the region, particularly deterrence against piracy and other maritime insecurity issues. The SAN is also immensely involved in naval cooperation. In terms of international maritime assistance, the SAN does not only assist other countries in search and rescue missions, but also empower them. It also plays a vital and evolving role in international conflict resolution and management. The, however, SAN faces several hindrances including ageing equipment and ships (such as strike craft and hydrographic survey vessel); lack of patrol vessels and sea lift capability; loss of skilled personnel; and other challenges.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sedert die ontstaan van vlootmagte het state vlote as buitelandse beleidsinstrumente aangewend. Die politieke oorgang in Suid-Afrika in 1994 het tot ʼn evolusie in die land se buitelandse beleid aanleiding gegee, wat ook gevolge vir die Suid-Afrikaanse Vloot (SAV) ingehou het. Tradisioneel het vlote drie hooffunksies, naamlik ʼn militêre, ʼn polisiëring en ʼn diplomatieke funksie. Hierdie studie fokus slegs op die diplomatieke funksie van die vloot, waarna verwys word as vlootdiplomasie, en die SAV se rol as die ‘bewaarder’ van Suid-Afrikaanse vlootdiplomasie. Die doel van hierdie studie is om ondersoek in te stel na die aard en omvang van Suid-Afrikaanse vlootdiplomasie sedert 1994 en dit aan die hand van relevante teoretiese beginsels te beoordeel. Hieruit voortspruitend is twee doelwitte: eerstens om die wesenskenmerke van Suid-Afrika se buitelandse beleid na 1994 as raamwerk vir vlootdiplomasie te gebruik; en tweedens om die wyse waarop vlootdiplomasie ter ondersteuning van Suid-Afrikaanse buitelandse beleidsdoelwitte aangewend is, te beskryf en te ontleed met spesifieke verwysing na maritieme dwang, samewerking tussen vlootmagte, internasionale maritieme hulpverlening, en internasionale konflikresolusie. Die navorsingsmetodologie is 'n kwalitatiewe beskrywende ontleding, gegrond op 'n literatuurstudie, feitlike bronne, en onderhoude. Beide primêre en sekondêre bronne is in die proses geraadpleeg. Hierdie studie is 'n oorspronklike bydrae om die leemte in die literatuur oor die Suid-Afrikaanse vlootdiplomasie aan te spreek. Na die onlangse aanskaffing van nuwe skepe en duikbote, het die SAV se diplomatieke vermoëns aansienlik verbeter. Die gevolg is dat die SAV tans ʼn wesenlike bydrae met betrekking tot maritieme dwang in die streek speel, veral wat teen-seerowery en ander maritieme veiligheidsbedreigings betref. Die SAV is ook baie betrokke in maritieme samewerking. Wat internasionale maritieme hulp betref, het die SAV ander lande met soek en reddingsoperasies bygestaan en ook bemagtig. Die SAV lewer ook ‘n groeiende bydrae tot internasionale konflikresolusie en bestuur. Maar die SAV staar ook verskeie uitdagings in die gesig wat die volgende insluit: verouderde toerusting en skepe (soos aanvalsvaartuie en die hidrografiese opmetingskip); 'n gebrek aan patrollievaartuie en 'n see-verplasingsvermoë; verlies van opgeleide personeel, en verskeie ander uitdagings.
