A fire onboard has many challenges, the firefighting team must attack and contain it
before the damage spreads and consumes the ship. Part of the Damage Control
response is good communications, DCAMS provides the ship with non-verbal means to
identify, describe, pinpoint, and update casualties, personnel, and boundaries. The
laptops communicate all the information plotted automatically to the other stations,
reducing the errors of verbal reports.
