METOC Data Acquisition
Abstract
The major work of the Meteorology and Oceanography (METOC) Data Acquisition Project is to provide future mission capabilities to warfighters allowing them to detect and monitor the conditions of the physical environment throughout the entire battlespace. The most promising new sensor technologies (including unmanned vehicles, tactical sensor exploitation, in-situ sensors) are transitioned from the government's and commercial industry's technology base. These new sensor technologies are demonstrated, validated and integrated into operational programs for warfighters. These new sensor capabilities provide timely and accurate METOC data to operational and tactical commanders. METOC data requirements have evolved with emphasis on naval warfare shifting to littoral and deep strike battlespace. The need to accurately characterize dynamic conditions are crucial in planning and executing warfare operations and effectively allocating force weapon and sensor systems. Routinely available data sources, such as climatology, oceanographic and meteorological numerical models are necessary but not sufficient to support the littoral and deep strike regions. Operational sensors are deployed great distances from the target area of interest. The challenge is to collect and disseminate METOC data in variable and dynamic littoral environmental conditions or in denied, remote or inaccessible areas over extended periods of time. This project: 1) provides the means to rapidly and automatically acquire a broad array of METOC data using off-board and on-board sensors; 2) provides an on-scene assessment capability for the tactical commander; 3) provides the tactical commander with real-time METOC data and products for operational use; 4) demonstrates and validates the use of tactical workstations and desktop computers for processing and display of METOC data and products; 5) demonstrates and validates techniques which employ data compression, connectivity and interface technologies to obtain, store, process, distribute and display these METOC data and products; 6) develops new charting and bathymetric survey techniques necessary to reduce hazards to navigation and improve forecast accuracy.
