NAVSEA Equips USS Kidd with ‘Energy Dashboard’ to Maximize Fuel Efficiency

摘要

U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) recently announced that it has installed an “Energy Dashboard,” proofof- concept system on the USS Kidd. “Energy Dashboard is similar to the systems in today’s newer vehicles that show drivers their instantaneous miles per gallon, allowing drivers to modify their driving behaviors to maximize fuel efficiency,” said Glen Sturtevant, Team Ships director for Science and Technology. “Energy Dashboard ties into other shipboard computer software systems to tell sailors the same thing about their ship.”
