Summary
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/Configuration 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
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
ATIS FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITIES
AND DATA SUPPORTED

Configuration Data Indices
> Search by identifiers other than DOCID or TITLE
–
–
–
–
Generic Ship’s Drawing Index (SDI)
Generic ITP
SCLSIS
M&CMI
–
–
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)
Difference in capabilities provided by
Web ATIS

Import modules not currently in Web ATIS
>

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


Databases built in 32 bit ATIS and converted to SQL Server format
Generic Index (planned for next release)
M&CMI 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
>
>
>
>

Raster TM CDs
>
>
>
>

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
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
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
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

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.
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)
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
