LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS

The U-COFT is installed on a concrete pad and consists of three, interconnected shelters:

Computer Shelter

Trainer Shelter

Integration Shelter

The Computer and Trainer Shelters are placed parallel to each other, approximately four feet apart. The

Integration Shelter is placed across the end doors of the Computer and Trainer Shelters to provide a U-shaped

interconnected complex. Butting kits between the end doors of the parallel shelters and the side doors of

Integration Shelter provide the connections for a weather tight integrated complex. Entrance to the complex is

provided at the right-hand end of the Integration Shelter. Emergency exits are provided at the Integration

Shelter, opposite the entrance, and at the far ends of the Computer and Trainer Shelters.

The Interior of the U-COFT complex is environmentally controlled by air conditioning units installed in each

shelter. The air conditioning units provide the heating cooling, and humidity control necessary for equipment

operation and human comfort.

The Trainer Shelter contains the Crew Station (1), Air Conditioner (2), Instructor Operator Station (IOS) (3), and

Terminal Printer (4).

The Integration Shelter provides a student briefing area (5) containing the Remote Monitor Station (6) and a

maintenance area (7). These areas are divided by a folding curtain. An air conditioner (8) is located between

the two areas.

The Computer Shelter contains the Disk Drive Unit (9), General Purpose Computer (GPC) (10), three Air

Conditioners (11) (two on one wall and one on the opposite wall), and the Special Purpose Computer (SPC)

(12).

The following paragraphs provide the location and descriptive details of the major units contained within each
