The unified Hull Definition System was designed by the U. S. Navy so that the digital computer could be used to assist in the fairing process. CADCOM, Inc. was tasked by MARAD and the Navy with transferring this technology to the U. S. shipbuilding industry. This transfer involves four steps: (1) enhancing the program to make it meet the needs of the industry, (2) generating four standard versions of the program, (3) creating documentation, and (4) conducting training seminars for potential users. The program does not replace the conventional methods of designing hull forms; rather, it functions as an interactive tool which allows the designer to retain control over the surface he is defining. He still performs his traditional procedures, but he performs them more quickly and accurately than before.
