MIL-DTL-24784/5C(NAVY)
3.3 Development. OSBs are developed to maintain the greatest effectiveness and efficiency in designing new
shipboard integrated combat systems. OSBs may also be used in the modernization of older systems, and may be
used in the development of associated documentation requirements. The OSB shall describe relationships between
components of the shipboard operational system-human factors, equipment factors and interfacing software support
requirements, and operational concepts and environments. The OSB shall describe these relationships with
particular attention to:
a.
The operational (rather than the technical) system.
b.
The man, machine, software interface.
c.
Optimum system employment as developed through analytical techniques.
d.
Operating and system setup procedures for all modes of operation, including casualty conditions and
special evolutions applicable to the system.
e.
Rationale, including work study, to support the system design concept and the developed operational
procedures.
f.
Sequenced, step-by-step, operator procedures, and operator actions or interactions.
g.
Manning requirements for readiness conditions I and III, the governing readiness condition (if other than
readiness conditions I and III), special sea detail, and predominate special evolutions (for example,
underway replenishment, vertical replenishment, and so forth) (see figure 1).
h.
Special skills, knowledge, or training required to operate the system.
i.
Providing a source of information not readily available from other sources.
3.3.1 Space applicability. When specified by the acquiring activity (see 6.2), the OSB shall define and describe
the relationships of shipboard operational systems and system components for the spaces. The size, mission, and
tasks of the ship shall be used to determine the shipboard spaces, stations, and systems to be included in the OSB.
Spaces and stations specified as follows are typical of those which may be considered for inclusion in the OSB:
a.
Pilot house and bridge wings (including exposed and auxiliary conning stations).
b.
Chart room.
c.
Signal station and signal bridge.
d.
Secondary conning station.
e.
Weapons control stations.
f.
Flag bridge and command and control complex (including tactical flag command center).
g.
Combat information center complex (including sonar control room, antisubmarine warfare module and
central computer complex).
h.
Meteorological spaces and stations.
i.
Operational intelligence spaces.
j.
Communications complex.
k.
Engineering and machinery monitoring and control stations.
l.
Damage control stations.
m. Spaces in which special evolutions are carried out, such as:
(1) Aircraft operations control (fixed and rotary wing).
(2) Aircraft handling and maintenance control.
(3) Amphibious and landing force command and control.
(4) Ammunition and cargo handling.
(5) Air squadron ready rooms.
(6) Deck operations (such as handling of mine countermeasures equipment, replenishment, beaching
equipment, rescue and salvage equipment).
