UI Design Consulting (Naval Acoustic Information Management System (NAIMS))
Sound gathered by surface ships and submarines, and then the question of what to do with it.
What the sonar brings back — a contact — is rarely clear. Deciding what kind of thing made the sound is a judgement rather than a reading, and two operators can look at the same trace and disagree.
So the system has to keep the evidence next to its uncertainty, where an operator can see why something was called what it was called.
