1 Overview
In cooperation with Office Naval Research (ONR), Program Executive Office Ships (PEO Ships), Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), and Military Sealift Command (MSC) a User Operational Evaluation System (UOES) was developed for the Environmental Ship Motion Forecasting (ESMF) system for further investigation and evaluation. The ONR ESMF program was conducted in order to develop a capability that could measure, predict, and display the environmental and ship motion parameters needed for operators to safely conduct seabasing operations. ESMF set out to demonstrate accurate ship motion and wave forecasting for time scales of interest (~5 minutes) in up to sea state 5 and ship speeds of up to 10 knots. The initial research and development effort, which concluded in 2017, demonstrated utility for the seabasing application and showed promise for other at-sea operational applications.
This document describes maintenance of the ESMF UOES.
1.1 System Description
The major hardware subsystems of the ESMF UOES system are:
User Workstation [Bridge Console] – The User Workstation (UWS) is a ruggedized computer running Windows 10 that provides the main interface for ESMF. Detailed software description is in the following section.
Primary Processing Unit (PPU) – The PPU is a ruggedized Intel PC running Linux Ubuntu
16.04. It performs the core algorithms of ESMF taking in sensor data and providing products to the UWS.
Coherent On Receive Radar (CORR) – The CORR is the principal ESMF sensor for measuring the oceanic wave field. It is a modified Koden MDS-63R marine navigation radar specialized for ocean surface return. Radar control and signal processing are performed by a dedicated Intel
PC with Windows 10.
Ship Motion Sensor (SMS) – Real-time ship motion is provided to the system by an OXTS
RT2502 IMU. The sensor uses accelerometers and gyros in conjunction with dual antenna GPS with L1 carrier-phase differencing. The SMS connects to the PPU via a direct Ethernet connection.
Meteorological (MET) Sensor – Real-time environmental data (e.g. wind speed/direction, temperature) is provided to the system by a Gill® MetPak™ II Weather Station via a RS-422 serial connection to the PPU.
Ethernet network switch – The processors are networked using a TrendNet TI-G80, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch.

2.2 Data Handling
Data acquisition is an inherent requirement for the ESMF system and thus the data to be acquired is dictated by the test objectives. The data collected and generated by ESMF during testing is controlled by Department of Defense Distribution Statement D – Distribution authorized to the Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors. Reports, data, and disks that are specific to the ESMF program should be marked and handled accordingly.
The ESMF system is built upon the Gravity system architecture, which includes an archiving tool that will be the main data collection mechanism. Data are moved within the ESMF system using a publish/subscribe paradigm. An archiving instance subscribes to data products which are desired for archiving, and writes them to file as they are published to the system. Through this process, any user with access to the ESMF system can archive any desired data products. The archiving GUI interface allows management of the archiving features and selection of desired data products.
The plan is to archive all of the system data collected during designated operations, which amounts to several terabytes of data. Archived files include a time stamp in their name, which indicates the date and time for which the data log began.
2.3 Personal Safety
All persons are required to follow all required shipboard safety procedures at all times. The Ship’s Master and crew are responsible for the safety of all personnel aboard; their rules and instruction in such matters are to be followed by all hands. Spare no effort to avoid accidents, the consequences of which are generally worse at sea. Man overboard, fire, flooding and significant injuries should be reported immediately to the bridge officer on watch. Bring any unsafe condition to the attention of ship’s crew at once. Follow all rules about use of work vests, lifelines, hard hats, proper footwear, etc.

2.4 Information Assurance Controls
Clearing and Sanitizing. Ensure that all documents, equipment, and machine-readable media containing sensitive data are at risk from unauthorized copying and illegal distribution if not properly cleared and sanitized before distribution outside of DoD. Specific actions are:
All documents, equipment, and machine-readable media containing sensitive data shall be properly cleared and sanitized in accordance with DoD 5200.1-R and ASD(C3I) Memorandum, dated June 4, 2001, subject: "Disposition of Unclassified DoD Computer Hard Drives."
A release catalog shall be created, logged, and stored for at least five (5) years on all documents, equipment, and machine-readable media that has been cleared and sanitized of sensitive data before being released outside of DoD.
The release catalog shall be updated and verified every time sanitized documents, equipment, and machine-readable media are released outside of DoD.
Audit. Audit and version controls shall be in place to ensure the most recent version of the release catalog is updated and stored.
Inspect the individual system software, verifying it is configured properly in accordance with DOD policy, STIGs, and SRGs.
Obtain system documentation and identify the system components that should generate audit reports within the test boundary.
Obtain the software name, version, and manufacturer of the audit tool/software implemented into the system, if any.
Observe the system administrator or system user who has the Audit system authority using the available audit tools to review audit records online (e.g., the audit records contain user IDs, audit events, specific time/date).
Verify that the audit reports generated are in a readable format.
Verify that the audit reports highlight security-significant events that might warrant additional investigation.
Review the system configuration for invalid logon attempts (or unsuccessful attempts lock out) and the number of unsuccessful access attempts allowed in a given period. If the time-delay control is supported by the system, verify if it is enabled.
Schedule an inspection with IAM/IAO and system administrator annually to verify proper IA controls.

3 Maintenance
Section 3 describes the periodic maintenance that should be conducted on the ESMF system.
3.1 Periodic System Restart
The ESMF system, benefits from periodic controlled system restarts. Following the User Guide procedure, follow the controlled shutdown instructions and then follow the system startup instructions.
Ensure that a periodic system restart is conducted at least quarterly.
3.2 Disk Utilization
Logging is intentionally limited to prevent over-running of system components located within the Bosun’s Storeroom, however if the UWS is used for non-ESMF work, there is a risk of running out of space. Low disk space will cause both ESMF and the entire UWS Windows operating system to function poorly. There should always be at least 10% free space on both the “C:” and “D:” drives.
Ensure that the disk utilization is checked at least twice annually.
3.3 Fan Inspection and filter replacement
Although constructed of Commercial-Off-the-Shelf components, the ESMF system is designed to tolerate temperature and humidity extremes. ESMF does, however, require good airflow through the Bridge console and the Electronics Locker. Follow these best practices:
Ensure the air flow intake and outflow of the Electronics Locker and Bridge Console remain unobstructed.
Do not run the ESMF system with the Electronics Locker cabinet door open for extended periods
Inspect and clean the air filters every 6 months. Replace as required.
3.4 Cable Inspection
Cables exposed to the elements are subject to deterioration over time. Loose or broken cables can cause ESMF to degrade or malfunction and pose a hazard to personnel.
Ensure all cables and wiring, the cable stays, and sensor connections on the ESMF Foremast are intact and free from corrosion or excessive wear. Cables requiring replacements should be recorded and planned for future a shipyard or refit period.

4.2 Troubleshooting Tasks
Section 4.2 contains task steps referenced from the troubleshooting tables in Section 4.
4.2.1 How to Start ESMF
To start all ESMF components:
1. Verify breakers are closed and power is available to the ESMF electronics locker via P111 and the ESMF Bridge console via L109.
2. At the Bridge Console, turn on power to the display, then press and release the momentary power button located just under the console ledge. Wait for the system to boot and login as user ‘esmf’ if prompted for a login.
3. Select the ESMF icon on the Windows Desktop and double click or press enter to start the ESMF
Graphical User Interface (GUI).
4. If all of the System Status indicators are green, then the system is ready to start.
If the System Status indicators are not all green:
1. If the PPU status or Time Server status is red, then press the PPU Power button and wait for the green PPU status indicator.
2. If the RPU status is red, then press the PPU Power button and wait for the green PPU status indicator.
If both are red, then the order in which they are started does not matter.
When all status indicators are green, continue with system startup:
1. Press the ‘Start’ button in the ESMF UI on the Bridge Console.
It takes the system up to 60 seconds to completely initialize and start.
Once the system starts, the radar control settings become available and the ‘Start’ button is disabled. The Ready Status indicator should indicate green if the radar subsystem is ready to transmit.
2. Visually verify the radar is clear of obstructions and it is safe to transmit.
3. Press the Transmit Power ‘On’ button.
The system is now ready for normal operations.
4.2.2 How to turn off the Windows firewall
1. From the Start Menu, type “Firewall” and open “Firewall and Network Protection”.
2. Verify that Domain, Public and Private Firewalls are all off.
