U.S. Navy Automated Radiological Control Management
Information System (ARCMIS)
Challenge
ARCMIS is the system of record for
Radiological Dose exposure incurred in workers while working
on nuclear reactors during ship overhaul and/or maintenance.
ARCMIS ensures that the exposure a person receives is within
federally mandated limits and locally established guidelines
and enables a shipyard to control, monitor and forecast
future radiation exposure requirements. ARCMIS is
implemented at all four US Navy shipyards, three Department
of Energy nuclear research laboratories, two additional
naval facilities, and at Electric Boat.
Solution
DRC has been providing system and
network administration and operational and maintenance
support ARCMIS since 1998. Our work has included all phases
of development, enhancement, testing, implementation,
deployment, documentation and release. The DRC team has
traveled to all Naval Shipyards and several non-shipyard
locations to support the implementation and maintenance of
ARCMIS. DRC has put strict processes in place to ensure that
all ARCMIS are effectively implemented.
Additionally, DRC maintains user
documentation and implementation support. DRC currently
maintains multiple configurations of servers, workstations
and application server, both Citrix and Oracle, to ensure
that emergent fixes and releases can be performed on any
platform at any time.
Benefits/Achievements
All of the DRC supported releases of
ARCMIS have been successfully implemented. DRC recently
completed a full re-platforming of the ARCMIS application
moving it to the web via an Oracle Application Server. This
change ensures that the latest technologies are being
utilized and removed dependencies on desktop computers.
DRC’s Capability Maturity Model (CMM-SW) level 3 process
areas ensure that the ARCMIS program receives
consistent, repeatable software engineering and management
approaches to ensure maximized return on investment and
minimized risk.
