Ship Control Systems are progressively moving away from Mil Spec, proprietary systems to ruggedised COTS-based systems that can integrate a large number of dissimilar control systems. The Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) project's Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) reflects this evolution to large-scale federated systems providing a consistent, integrated view of the AWD platform systems to the operators despite the control elements of these systems being developed and implemented independently. The IPMS architecture, design complexities and some integration strategies will be presented and discussed in this talk.
