Windows for Submarines™ (vermutlich gelb)
Royal Navy completes Windows for Submarines™ rollout
The programme is called Submarine Command System Next Generation (SMCS
NG), and uses varying numbers of standard multifunction consoles with
two LCD screens, hooked up on an internal Ethernet network installed on
each sub. Initial reports as the programme developed suggested that the
OS in question would be Windows 2000, but those who have worked on it
have since informed the Reg that in fact it is mostly based on XP.
Windows were so chuffed at “Windows for Submarines” they even
advertised the fact to the entire world (HERE)
Windows for Submarines is the programme undertaken by the Royal Navy
and BAE Systems to equip the nuclear-propelled and nuclear-armed
warship fleet with a Windows-based command system. The transition to
the Windows for Submarines command system on HMS Vigilant, a
Trident nuclear missile submarine, was completed in just 18 days.
