US Navy Replacing Physical Ouija Board Aboard Carriers with DSIMS Touchscreen Technology
 
The "old" Ouija Boards, used by aircraft handling officers inside aircraft carriers flight deck control rooms since World War II, are being phased out in favor of the Deployable Ship Integration Multitouch System (DSIMS).
     
Deployable Ship ntegration Multitouch System DSIMSThe Deployable Ship Integration Multitouch System (DSIMS) was demonstrated and showcased at the SNA 2017 show.
     
Developped by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), DSIMS is a mobile software package that includes a digital touchscreen image of a ship’s flight deck or hangar bay. It enables aircraft handlers to use a laptop or LCD screen to adjust various configurations from anywhere on the ship. DSIMS also lets handlers plan operations before deployment and share that information with other DSIMS users.
