Air/Ocean Tactical Applications
Abstract
Understanding and accurately predicting the maritime environment is a naval warfighting advantage. Effective meteorological and oceanographic modeling depends upon a network of advanced, reliable sensors below, on and above the world's oceans. Combined with state-of-the-art computational infrastructure, the Navy-Marine Corps Meteorological and Oceanographic (METOC) team delivers 24/7 observations, precise forecasts and operational recommendation to commanders. The Air Tactical Applications (AOTA) Program Element (PE) is aligned with the Navy's maritime strategy to enhance future METOC mission capabilities supporting naval warfighters worldwide. New state-of-the art government and commercial technologies are identified, transitioned, demonstrated and then integrated into Combat Systems and programs of record to provide capabilities that provide real-time and near-real-time operational effects of the physical environment on the performance of combat forces and their new and emerging platforms, sensors, systems and munitions. The AOTA program element focuses on sensing and characterizing and predicting the littoral and deep-strike battlespace in the context of regional conflicts and crisis response scenarios. Projects in this PE transition state-of-the art sensing, assimilation, modeling and decision aid technologies from government and commercial sources. Unique project development efforts include atmospheric and oceanographic data assimilation techniques, forecast models, data base management systems and associated software for use in mainframe, desktop and laptop computers. Model data, products and services can be used by forward-deployed personnel or in a reach-back mode to optimize sensor placement and force allocation decisions. Global Geospatial Information and Services efforts within this program address the bathymetric needs of the Navy. Also developed are algorithms to process new satellite sensor data for integration into Navy and Marine Corps decision support systems and for display as part of the common operational and tactical pictures. In addition, the projects provide for demonstration and validation of specialized atmospheric and oceanographic instrumentation and measurement techniques, new sensors, communications and interfaces. Included are new capabilities to assess, predict and enhance the performance of current and emerging undersea warfare and mine warfare weapons systems. AOTA capabilities are designed to support the latest versions of the Global Command and Control System and specific unit-level combat systems. This PE develops technological upgrades for the U.S. Naval Observatory's Master Clock system to meet requirements of Department of Defense communications, cryptographic, intelligence, geolocation, and targeting systems; develops near-real-time earth orientation predictions; develops very precise determination of positions of both faint and bright stars; and supports satellite tracking and space debris studies. Major emphasis areas include the Naval Integrated Tactical Environmental System Next Generation (NITES-Next) and the METOC Data Acquisition, the METOC Data Assimilation & Modeling, the Precise Timing and Astrometry, the Fleet Synthetic Training, the Tactical Environmental Support, Decision Support Products & Dissemination, the Earth System Prediction Capability projects, and the Remote Sensing Capability Development. Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment are funded in this PE. Most of the work in this PE can be classified between Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 (system/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment) and TRL 7 (system prototype demonstration in an operational environment). Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
