<p>This  thesis  studies  the  feasibility  of  developing  a  closed-loop  shipboard  sensor  calibration  system  with  two  main  objectives.  The first objective was to reduce the number of personnel required to calibrate a shipboard sensor by 50%.  The  second  was  to  reduce  the  time  required  to  complete  the  calibration  process  by  60%.    This  was  achieved  by  displaying  the  sensor data and the calibration standard data on a tablet PC.  Wireless technology was used to transmit the data from the sensor  and  the  calibration  standard  to  the  tablet  PC.   The  data  from  the  sensor  is  sent  via  IEEE  802.11b  wireless  LAN  using  DataSocket protocol and the calibration standard is sent via Bluetooth protocol.  The technology can be installed and used on  current ships in the United States Navy.  Four software programs were developed to accomplish these goals.  One program runs  on  the  tablet  PC  and  the  other  three  run  on  the  network  capable  application  processor  (NCAP).    These  four  programs  accomplish the goals stated.
