INTRODUCTION

• ATIS Software Description and Capabilities
• ATIS Data Sources
• Installations
• Summary

3
ATIS OVERVIEW

• ATIS is a Navy Standard Digital Data Repository
  and Presentation System that provides easy access
  to Technical Data on Local Area Networks
• Provides a Standard Platform on which to link
  Technical Documentation and Logistics/Configuratio
  n Indices
• Platforms
• Client Server
• Standalone- Windows NT, Windows 2000
• Network-
• Novell Server (16 bit version 4.1 .Being Phased
  Out)
• IT-21/ISNS Network NTCSS Optimized- Windows NT
  Server, Windows 2000 (32-Bit version of software)
• Current version is 1.3
• Web ATIS version 1.0 (for Intranets) in
  testing/certification
• Preparing package for PPL/SSIL certification

4
ATIS CAPABILITIES AND DATA SUPPORTED

• Index and retrieval of raster scanned technical
  manuals and engineering drawings for each ship
  class and airframe in the navy
• NIRS/NIFF and C4 Formats Per MIL-PRF-28002
• Navigate Through Indexed Pages Of Raster TM Or
  ED
• Index, Display, Launch Electronic Technical
  Manuals (IETM/ETMS) and other third party CD-ROM
  Applications
• Index, Display, Launch Interactive Electronic
  Engineering Drawing Applications (IEDS)
• Functionality Similar To ETM/IETM Support
  Provided In ATIS

5
ATIS FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITIES AND DATA SUPPORTED

• Configuration Data Indices
• Search by identifiers other than DOCID or TITLE
• Generic Ships Drawing Index (SDI)
• Generic ITP
• SCLSIS
• MCMI
• Uses SCLSIS database
• Module is merged with SCLSIS module in Web ATIS
• Valve Label Index (VLI)
• GENERIC INDEX
• Allow external apps to link into ATIS to retrieve
  specific TM or ED via INTERFAC.EXE
• TLMS, OMMS-NG, ICAS and ETMs use capability
• Additional capabilities in Web ATIS (will be
  included in version 1.4)

6
Difference in capabilities provided by Web ATIS

• Import modules not currently in Web ATIS
• Databases built in 32 bit ATIS and converted to
  SQL Server format
• Provide Index Service web search and combined
  search (TM, ED, and Web)
• Web search does not necessarily search all data
  formats
• Data is bundled by class, not by hull so
  searching via ATIS allows user to determine
  applicability for a given hull
• Some of the configuration modules not currently
  included in Web ATIS
• Generic Index (planned for next release)
• MCMI merged into SCLSIS module as both modules
  use the same database
• Raster annotations and List Drawings Module not
  brought over from 32 bit ATIS

ATIS DATA SOURCES

• Data Sources
• Data is not owned by ATIS program
• Same data (CDs) are used by all versions of ATIS
• Data not necessarily conducive to Web searches
• Bundling typically by ship classes
• Raster TM CDs
• Produced/ Distributed by NSDSA Port Huenueme CA
• Bundling and distribution is by ship class
• SEA 07 Controls Distribution of Submarine CDs
• Over 820 Raster TM CDs
• ETM CDs
• Produced/Distributed by designated TMMA
• Documents are OCR scanned and SGML tagged
• Source data is maintained in SGML repositories
• ETMs are bundled and distributed on ATIS
  compatible CDs
• Over 230 ETM CDs

11
ATIS DATA SOURCES

• Drawing CDs
• Produced by planning yard for respective ship
  class
• Not all ships of a given class receive all CDs
  for that class
• Ex. DDG 51 class has multiple flights with
  separate drawings per class
• Source of data is typically JEDMICS
• Bundled/distributed by ship classes
• Output of raster scanning process/extract from
  JEDMICS source repository
• Not all images/data loaded in JEDMICS is bundled
  on ATIS CDs
• Submarine drawing CDs produced by Electric Boat
  and AMSEC, LLC
• Over 2000 raster ED CDs
• Lists of applicable CDs
• ATIS CD Cross Reference List
• TDMIS and GENITP
• Planning Yard Information

12
ACCESSING ATIS DATA

• Data is typically indexed into ATIS by Ship Class
• Corresponding configuration databases are
  produced by ship class
• Data indexing problems can occur in drawing
  databases if multiple classes are combined in one
  set of databases
• ATIS functionality supports one set of databases
  on line at a time
• Standalone ATIS has a utility program that allows
  for switching sets of databases at start up
• Capability cannot be supported in network version
• Multi-class capability planned for network ATIS
  in the future

13

16
GENERIC SDI MODULE

• Generic Ships Drawing Index (SDI) module is used
  by many ship classes to search for engineering
  drawings by
• CIN/ESWBS/SWBS
• Consolidated Index Number
• Expanded Ship Work Breakdown Structure
• Ship Work Breakdown Structure
• Drawing Number
• Drawing Title
• Custom Search

17
GENITP MODULE

• Designed to be ITP module for all ATIS ships to
  use
• Databases generated from data in TDMIS database
• Allow Administrator to tailor ITP database to
  several classes, individual class, or hull level
• ITP import and removal utilities to aid
  Administrator in building/correcting (additions,
  deletions, collations, etc.) TM databases as
  well as auditing database for missing TMs
• GENITP Search module allows searches by
• PUB ID/TITLE
• APL/RIC
• ALTERATION
• HSC
• Provides availability status of publications
  (RASTER, ETM, PAPER)

18
SCLSIS MODULE

• SCLSIS Module allows for searching for TM or ED
  based on
• Alteration
• APL/AEL(RIC) (Allowance Parts List/Allowance
  Equipage List(Repairable Identification Code)
• APL/AEL(RIC) Nomenclature
• CAGE(FSCM) (Commercial And Government Entity
  (Federal Supply Code for Manufacturers))
• Document Type
• Drawing Number
• Drawing Title
• EIC (Equipment Identification Code)
• EIC Nomenclature
• HSC/FGC Description (Hierarchical Structure
  Code/Functional Group Code)
• HSC/FGC Number
• Technical Manual Number
• Technical Manual Title
• Valve Mark/Symbol Number
• Work Center

19
MCMI MODULE

• Motors and Controllers Manual Index is a a module
  that allows a user to search for ED or TM by
• SAC - Service Application Code or description
• RIC - Repairable Identification Code
• AEL - Allowance Equipage List
• APL - Allowance Parts List
• HSC - Hierarchical Structure Code or description
• FGC - Functional Group Code or description

20
VALVE LABEL INDEX (VLI) MODULE

• Valve Label Index is a module allows a user to
  search for ED or TM by
• SNV by APL
• RPAV by APL
• SRD by System
• VTI by Valve Type
• VLI by Valve Label
• SNV Standard Navy Valves - Valves which have been
  developed by the Navy to standardize the use and
  manufacture of valves often used on ships. SNVs
  are organized by APL/AEL(RIC).
• RPAV Reactor Plant Auxiliary Valves - A table
  listing the auxiliary valves for the reactor
  plant by APL/AEL(RIC).
• SRD Selected Record Drawings - A table of ship
  unique drawings that have been verified to
  reflect the individual ship configuration for
  certain critical systems. SRDs are organized by
  system.
• VTI Valve Type Index - The VTI is an computer
  based index that allows the user to search for
  valves by various methods. It is organized by
  valve type and valve size. This permits the user
  to search for engineering drawings and technical
  manuals in cases where the valve label is not
  known.

21
GENERIC INDEX MODULE

• Generic Index Module allows users to search for
  engineering drawings or technical manuals by one
  to five fields of the Generic Index Data that is
  loaded
• Alternative index that data providers can use
  when none of the other configuration indicies
  meet their requirements
• Data Fields are defined by the data provider
• Can search for partial match, exact match, or
  initial match of entered search criteria
• Currently being used by NAVSEA 08/WPAD to allow
  searches for Nuclear Valve Drawings (less complex
  than creating an SDI database for the drawings)

22
INTERFAC.EXE

• Interfac.Exe allows other applications to link
  directly into ATIS TM and ED databases to
  launch/display a TM or ED
• Allows ETM developers to use external SGML
  references in SGML documents to link to TMs not
  under control of the developer
• ATIS database controls linkage so developers do
  not need to keep TMs in synch
• ETM developers using this function for linking
• Can link back into ATIS from HTML pages using
  ACTIVE X controls in Web ATIS (will be part of
  32 bit ATIS version 1.4). Supports the following
  linkages
• Windows based product to 32 bit ATIS
• Windows based product to Web ATIS
• HTML based product to 32 bit ATIS
• HTML based product to Web ATIS
• More information in ATIS AIS documentation
