Book Description
The report presents implications of industrial and naval automation for the Navy's human element. Consideration is given to the imminent possibility that the Navy will be required to provide a place for many personnel who cannot find employment in civilian industry, and discussion is also provided on the later problem of the automated society as a source of naval manpower. The qualitative personnel requirements of a 'fully' automated Navy are discussed and the manpower requirements of such a Navy are estimated in tabular form. A projected schedule for the advent of naval automation is omitted as the variables involved are too difficult to predict with any acceptable degree of validity. (Author).

Book Description
The single technological contemporary contribution which will have the greatest effect on the contemporary civilization is the microelectronic revolution. Microelectronic techniques will result in electronic systems and equipments which will be much smaller, will use less power, will be extremely reliable and maintainable, will be producible by automated methods and will therefore be very inexpensive. The great reliability and very low cost of microelectronic circuitry will lower the costs of commercial and industrial computers to a point at which industry will find it competitively necessary to automate. Since any process which can be systematized, however loosely, is subject to cybernetic control and since the pressure of competition will force industry to do so, it is anticipated that most of industry will be automated within a short time. A time frame for the industrial changeover to automation is presented. The broad implications of automation for industry, the economy, the individual, the culture, and education as they will affect the Navy are discussed. (Author).

Personnel Implications of New Technological Developments, Microelectronics and Automation

Pages : 58
Book Description
The purpose of this exploratory investigation is to develop and employ valid bases in forecasting the most likely effects of new technology on future Navy personnel and training requirements. This report emphasizes long-range personnel implications of the introduction of microelectronics and attendant automation into the Fleet. The research is not directed at developing a personnel plan, but at providing the Navy with a tool of long range personnel planning. Content is based on a review of evidence previously developed, interviews with numerous scientists, technicians, and planners, both in and out of the military establishment, and a study of representative current technical and policy documentation. This report forecasts that the initial introduction of 'first generation' microelectronic equipment will temporarily increase the variety of spares in the logistics pipeline and impose additional training requirements on those technicians responsible for its maintenance. It is further predicted that large-scale integration of microelectronic circuits will supersede 'first-generation' microcircuitry during the mid-1970s, which will result in the gradual elimination of traditional shipboard trouble-shooting and repair of electronic equipments entering the development cycle during the late 1970s. Through gradual realization of very high inherent reliability, large scale circuit integration, and automated self-testing, substantial reductions in the logistics support requirements, and the numbers, skill levels, and training requirements of electronics technicians are forecast for the late 1970s and early 1980s.
