Electromagnetic environmental effects engineering support system

The need for a centralized database of electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) information along with an easy method of access has resulted in the development of the E3 Engineering Support System (ESS). The ESS is a centralized database of E3 information compiled from existing documentation. The ESS is also a management information system (MIS) for E3 conference scheduling and action item tracking. User-friendly programs are used to search the database and generate reports. These programs provide the necessary link between the managers and E3 engineers and the ESS database. The ESS is made accessible to remote users through local area network or telephone line communications. The purpose of the ESS is to assist managers and E3 engineers in assuring electromagnetic compatibility of present and future naval air systems and equipment
