MDA
Abstract
Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA): MDA is the effective understanding of anything associated with the global maritime domain that could impact the security, safety, economy or environment. MDA objectives include the persistent monitoring of and ability to access and maintain data on vessels, cargo, people, and infrastructures; and the ability to collect, fuse, analyze, and disseminate information to decision makers to facilitate effective understanding. This initiative will identify, develop and transition data fusion and mining, replication, sharing and assessment tools to achieve MDA across the non-classified, unclassified and classified enclaves. Additionally, MDA will ensure capability integration with related activities and sites (both technologies and facilities). This warfighting enhancement is designed to achieve an all-source MDA capability, leveraging existing MDA initiatives in the developmental phase and ensuring the best products transition to strategic, operational and tactical users within the Distributed Common Ground System - Navy (DCGS-N) Increment 2 Program of Record. This includes the enhanced and future fusion and analysis capabilities defined in the Maritime Fusion and Analysis Initial Capabilities Document (MFAS ICD), DCGS Enterprise ICD, and the DCGS-N Increment 2 Gap Analysis. The products support all-source data fusion, development and replication of MDA and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) related data gathered in various operations such as Expanded-Maritime Intercept Operations (E-MIO), sharing information with allies, and developing subject matter expertise and assessment tools to achieve MDA and enhance operational decision making.
