try member support necessary to
be entered as a work item for ISO
standard development. ISIT's roll-
out will start in the fourth quarter
of this year.
ISIT will allow a ship owner in
Greece to seamlessly exchange
data with a class society in
Norway.
It makes true fleet-wide systems
integration a reality with a host of
financial benefits including dra-
matically reduced communica-
tions costs and numerous savings
from financial integration. It
holds the promise that an owner
will be able to view or update a
work procedure on his or her com-
puter, and have it update all of the
computers on his or her ships
whether they are a mile away, or
half way across the world.

Presents DARPA Software
Deneb Robotics, Inc. recently
gave a presentation of its Defense
Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA), utilizing the
September, 1997
company's Envision and
Deneb/ERGO software to immerse
participants in a ship firefighting
scenario.
The demonstration was complet-
ed in conjunction with Electric
Boat as part of a DARPA-spon-
sored Simulation Based Designed
(SBD) project, the most recent
stage of which was led by
Lockheed Martin and focused on
the Advaned Surface Combatant
notional surface ship design.
Envision reportedly enables
users to design, build, test, operate
and support multiple product and
system scenarios in a fast, efficient
and cost-effective manner.
Envision provides an environment
for developing and validating the
design of complex mechanisms,
