Although it does sound like this piece of software could use improvement, I would never expect a mission support system to be the only thing safeguarding me from going aground. I don't know anything about submarines, but I would expect some kind of real-time navigation system to alert me before hand.
- jwithington 5y agoTo clarify: this is the real-time navigation system lol
- zppln 5y agoOh, I was under the impression it was just a planning system. Mea culpa!
- jwithington 5y agoI think I should make this more clear! It serves both functions.

For docking simulation to the space station, SpaceX has a website for controlling the Dragon capsule's UI. That could be the UI ergonomy baseline for measuring the current submarine's software against. The Orion and Starliner capsules have their own different more hardware oriented UI. I would expect nextgen submariners to be digital first native fast twitch glass screen navigators, but a submarine taking damage will be a splashy environment as seen in the movies and touch screens won't be as reliable as physical toggles with redundant bypasses etc. Maybe "Fat Leonard" contributed to the contracting process that put this software on the suboptimal submarine without proper human factors consideration.
