The [[Intrepid Bridge|Main Bridge]] station known as "Ops" occupies a position on the raised platform behind the [[Intrepid Command Station|command area]] and to the port side, adjacent to the [[Intrepid Briefing Room|main briefing room]]. | |||
Many shipboard operations involve scheduling resources or hardware (such as power or the use of sensors) that affect a number of departments. In many such cases, it is common for various operations to present conflicting requirements. It is the responsibility of the Operations Management Officer (normally referred to as the Operations Manager or Ops) to coordinate such activities so that mission goals are not jeopardized. Having a crew member in this decision-making loop is or curcial importance because of the wide range of unpredictable situations with which a starship must deal. | Many shipboard operations involve scheduling resources or hardware (such as power or the use of sensors) that affect a number of departments.

Such notifications are generally accomplished automatically without the need for active intervention by Ops. However, because preprogrammed functions cannot be expected to anticipate all possible situations, Ops is responsible for monitoring all such coordination activity and for taking additional action as necessary. Such flexibility is particularly important during alert and crisis scenarios, during which unpredictable and unplanned conditions must frequently be dealt with. | Such notifications are generally accomplished automatically without the need for active intervention by Ops.
