Research vessels: a system's engineering approach

This paper presents the case for the application of systems engineering methodology to coordinating existing research vessel operations and planning for future construction and operation of the research fleet. An essential part of such systems engineering is modeling research vessels. A preliminary research vessel model is described. For a unique set of inputs, output is given which includes the physical characteristics of the vessel, its operating patterns, and its construction and operating Costs. A sketch design is included which illustrates and verifies these outputs. It demonstrates what can be done with a minute or two of computer time.
