The electronic and informatics age - a new stage in developing highly effective ships

Perfection of ships of the generation in fleets all over the world is directly connected with development and introduction of the ship electronics and informatics. The electronics and informatics includes not only operating speed but the sophisticated information, integrated and intellectual systems a well. In this paper the author’ s position on a number of problems is set forth. They include development and introduction of this the most young, the most complicated and may be the most promising for marine engineers direction. At the same time, introduction of the electronics and informatics on ships entail great expenses. And if the process of the electronics development will not be modeled in time and the process after-effects will not be estimated then the goal to be set is unlikely to be achieved. The authors make an attempt to answer to most actual questions arising by development of the ships computerized systems. They are: How to find the optimal balance between the man and machine? At what conditions is it rational to shift the man by the machine? The most rational consequence of automation stages is set forth in the paper, beginning from the automated control of some ship equipment with a watch in a compartment and further to the entire (in perspective) automation and robotization of ship control. The wide ranges of accompanying problems have been analyzed. The correct and timely solution of them should be accompanied by development and introduction of the advanced electronic and informatics equipment into the marine technique in the electronic and informatics age that has come.
