The screenshots immediately reminded me of the original computer version of Harpoon when it was updated for Windows 95. I still find that game's interface to be one of the easiest ways to manage a complex amount of information.
Incidentally, these screenshots aren't too far off what actual console UIs look like for complex military systems. I think CDE is more common than Win32, though.
