Tables & Figures for the
Pre-ProcessorHere are some tables
of mostly US Navy Weapon and Sensor systems. The intent is to continue to expand these
tables with other US and Foreign systems, so that the user can pull off
estimates of weights, volumes, manpower requirements and electrical load
requirements for the combat system of the vessel being investigated. For some items there are multiple entries to relfect the data found in different sources. C3N Equipment - SWBS 410 to 440

The data shown in Green below is estimated data based on
trendlines from data for similar systems, as shown in the figure
below. Based on the data from this figure, if you have a rough idea
of the size for a design you can estimate the weight of the SWBS 410-440
group as being roughly 1.2% of the ship'a full load weight.

from the trendlines in the plot below. In this plot of Missile/Rocket Launcher Volume
versus Weight, three sets of data are shown where:
- the
Blue Squares and Curve represents
data for large Vertical Launch Systems (VLSs)
- the Red Diamonds and Curve represents
data for large rotating arm launchers (like the USNs Mark 13, 22, and
26)
- the Green Triangles represent data for
small launchers like the French Crotale and Italian Albatros
systems

From data on similar ships it appears that the
weight of Operating Fluids for Armament Systems equal to about 5.4% of the
rest of the SWBS 700 System Weights.
Principle Dimensions Estimation
Once the total Combat System Weight is estimated it
is possible to estimate a ship's Principle Diemsions. Below are
several figures that can be used to assist in estimating these values.
Total Combat
System (C4ISR & Armament Systems) Weights- SWBS 400 &
700
First,
here are two figures relating Total Displacement to Combat
System Weight. If the total displacement of a ship is not known then
once an estimate of combat system weight is determined from the above
table, and estimate of total ship displacement can be made from these
figures. In these two figures I have included two curves.
One is based primarily on US Navy Ships (labeled USN) and the other based
primarily on nuclear ships (labeled USN(N)).
Next,
here is a figure relating vessel length (on waterline) to
displacement. It can be used to estimate a design's length based on
the overall total displacement of the vessel.
Here is a graph
of Beam vs Length, which can be used to estimate the beam of a
design.
Here is a plot
of Depth vs Length, which can be used to estimate the depth of a vessels
hull (from the keel to the weatherdeck) if that data is not
known.
Here is a
figure relating installed Propulsion Power per Ton Displacement x Speed to
a non-dimensional speed for the vessel. It can be used to make a
first estimate of the total power that will be required for the vessel,
based on its total displacement and intended maximum service
speed.
Additionally,
I have also included a second figure directly relating installed power to
a "powering coefficient" as a secondary (backup) means of making an
initial estimate of required installed power. Here the "powering
coefficient" is defined as:
Pcoef = 1
/ ( Vk ^ 3 * Disp ^ (2/3))
Here is a
figure relating total installed Generating Power versus Full Load
Displacement. It can be used to make an initial rough estimate of
the total installed generating power that will be required onboard a
vessel.
And finally,
here is a figure relating the total number of accommodations on a vessel
divided by the total displacement of the vessel (# accommodations/mt)
versus the year the vessel entered service (or was intended to enter
service for design studies). It can be used to make a first estimate
of total crew accommodations onboard a vessel.
