Handbook of Naval Shore Station Electronics Criteria - NAVSHIPS 92675 - July 1960

   The purpose of this handbook is to provide in one document, criteria for the establishment, maintenance, and, to a limited extent, the operation of Shore Electronic Installations. Material used in the preparation of the handbook has been taken from current Bureau directives, instruction books, field studies, and reports of research and development which tend to promote standardization and to provide optimum performance of the installed electronic systems which are a part of the Naval Shore Establishment.
   This handbook will be kept current by changes in the form of correction sheets, new sheets, and addenda. Progress in this field comes from the Bureau's continuing research and development programs, and plant engineering improvements stemming from experience and changes in requirements. Information contained in directives which are appropriate to the publication will be integrated herein by the above changes. This, however, will in no way affect the status of the directives. References to specific directives are not necessarily included in the text.
   In establishing criteria for equipment procurement for installation at shore activities, the Bureau of Ships is held to standard procedures as prescribed in OPNAV INSTRUCTION 4720.9, Serial 206P41 of 18 March 1955 as revised October 1956. This involves a period of prototype development and evaluation which may delay the utilization of some of the latest improved equipment features but will assure the eventual installation of the most effective and reliable devices obtainable to improve corn bat readiness.
   The intent of section one is to provide non-technical coverage which will be of value to Commanding Officers, Staffs, Public Works Officers, etc., with whom Bureau of Ships Maintenance Authorities are required to collaborate in planning for and establishment of shore electronic facilities.
   Section two is provided for Bureau of Ships Maintenance Authorities and other field technical personnel, and is intended to provide engineering standards to be used in technical control of design, development, procurement, and installation of electronic equipment and systems.
   Section three, as part of change No. 2, contains Maintenance and System Test Criteria which will be of assistance to the Maintenance Authority and operating personnel to maintain equipment and establish system test procedures for equipments in shore electronic facilities with a view toward sustaining optimum performance.
   Section four, as part of change No. 2, delineates performance standards and factors affecting performance of equipment and systems to assist the Maintenance Authority and operating personnel in maintaining the standards of performance to assure continuity of operational requirements.
   This publication shall be used as a guide for annual inspections and preparation of improvement or military construction projects. Consideration will be given to properly justified requests for waivers, and the Bureau of Ships will, from time to time, direct departures from the standards.
