In combat situations, Fleet decision makers are often faced with too much data and not enough useful information. The “Knowledge Wall” is an ONR-funded concept that uses commercial-off-the-shelf technology to display on a single wall several screens of information that address issues requiring the decision-makers’ attention. The wall is installed onboard the USS CORONADO, the Third Fleet Flag Ship currently visiting San Francisco for Fleet Week, October 6 through 10. The Knowledge Wall uses hardware of an IR-21 compliant workstation running Windows NT4.0 with dual Pentium-III, 750 MHz processors, one gigabyte of RAM, and two large capacity hard drives. The display itself is composed of 10, 21-inch Viewsonic G810 CRTs, and two SmartBoard rear-projection large screen displays with internal Proxima LX-2 LCD projectors.
