Background - SWOS Students and the Threat Matrix

Division Officers:

SWOS Launches New Basic Division Officer Course

By Lt. Steven Gonzalez, Surface Warfare Officers School Public Affairs

"The Basic Division Officer's Course will give new division officers the foundational knowledge and skills needed to make them more effective in running their divisions and leading their personnel," said Capt. Richard A. Brown, SWOS commanding officer.  The course places emphasis on in-class instruction and the use of technology such as the Conning Officer Virtual Environment (COVE) simulators, which simulate every class of ship in the U.S. Navy and all their homeports, in addition to many routine ports of call around the world. COVE allows for the reinforcement of concepts in navigation, seamanship, and shiphandling.  The new course will also provide instruction on administration, engineering, leadership, and damage control. Vice Adm. Tom Copeman, commander, Naval Surface Forces (SURFOR), spoke at the event, and thanked the guests and students of BDOC class 13010 for attending this major achievement for the Surface Warfare community. "The surface warfare business we are in is very challenging. Our ships are complicated. They are the most technologically complex machines that this country has built and it takes a lot of hard work to learn how to fight them, learn how to maintain them, and learn how to train Sailors to maintain them," said Copeman. "The Sailors that are under your charge are going to count on you and they are going to look up to you for leadership. In order for you to be a good leader, you have to know what you are doing. This course is the first step."  BDOC training sites in Norfolk and San Diego will have a staff of eight, headed by a lieutenant commander, with six lieutenant instructors, and one Quartermaster. BDOC training facilities have been equipped with state-of-the-art electronic classrooms and shiphandling simulators that meet Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) standards. Ensigns going through the course will also use computer-based training (CBT) for advanced qualifications. "I'm very excited to try something new and I'm grateful I'm one of the few junior officers that get to experience this," said Ensign Jordan Klein, one of the students in the inaugural class. "This course will give me the basic information on what will be expected of me on the ship, and once I get there, I can hit the ground running." SWOS is headquartered in Newport, R.I., and oversees nine learning sites, providing more than 1,000 courses a year to more than 60,000 Sailors. SWOS uses a mix of instructor-led classes, hands-on labs, simulation and computer-based training. Courses include specialized training supporting all enlisted engineering ratings, and surface warfare officers at every level. Building maritime partnerships, the command also provides training to many international students.

Training Pipeline following commission. Upon commissioning, officers who select Surface Warfare undergo 17 weeks of intensive instruction at the Surface Warfare Officers School Division Officer Course (SWOSDOC) in Newport, Rhode Island. The first 11 weeks of SWOSDOC are common for all Surface Warfare candidates and emphasizes the basics in shipboard management, combat systems, ship control, and surface ship fundamentals. The final 6 weeks of SWOSDOC are ship class specific and center of the engineering systems on that class. SWOSDOC is designed to provide the tools needed for a successful first sea assignment. After completing the SWOSDOC Core, you will be sent to a specialty school for instruction focused on the requirements of your first job. Specialty schools include Anti-submarine Warfare Officer, Engineering Division Officer, Damage Control Assistant, and Communications Officer. Most of these schools are in Newport and are from 3 to 7 weeks long. Total time in Newport is 23 to 26 weeks.

Surface Warfare Officers School (SWOS)

Shipboard Systems Matrix Hypermedia Lesson

Project Management Plan

March 30, 2022

1.0 Background

The Surface Warfare Officers School (SWOS) in Newport, RI provides the Naval Surface Warfare Forces with officers professional qualified to serve as leaders of surface ships with the ultimate goal of command at sea. SWOS incorporates three levels of officer training : entry; mid-grade; and senior.

This work order is to develop a prototype hypermedia system to use in the presentation of knowledge intensive information for SWOS officers. The subject selected for this project is the Navy’s Shipboard Systems Matrix, sometimes called the Threat Matrix, which provides information on the characteristics of the world’s fleets.

2.0 Scope of Work

A prototype hypermedia system will be designed and proposed to the SWOS Curriculum and Instructor Standards Office (CISO) Director. The Shipboard Systems Matrix will use a computer or computer-device, will be multimedia, compatible with SWOS computer systems, be secure, and capable of revision by CISO staff.

The proposal will include:

I. Proposal Summary Fact Sheet

II. Proposal Summary

III. Description of Partners/Participants

IV. Introduction

V. Needs Assessment

VI. Plan of Operation

VII. Supporting Organization

VIII. Evaluation Plan
