Abstract
ABSTRACTAnalysis pervades all aspects of naval engineering. It is used to determine requirements for new or upgraded systems and to explore concepts for their employment. It is used to evaluate performance. It is used to establish design characteristics. And it comes in many varieties.This paper addresses use and misuse of analysis in naval engineering. The paper is oriented toward managers of analytic endeavors rather than the practitioners of analysis. It does not deal in depth with how to perform particular analytic techniques. Instead it discusses general principles that should guide both the selection and application of analytic techniques. The paper identifies problems which are frequently encountered in analyses related to naval engineering and suggests ways to ameliorate their deleterious effects. These problems are addressed from both the perspective of the manager of analysis and that of the user or consumer of results from the analysis. Some of the challenges that face naval engineering analyses as a consequence of hardware and software improvements and of more sophisticated systems are also discussed.
