USW Decision Support

Abstract

Project 3094 will develop the USW-DSS that will provide ASW C2 capabilities which enable the CNO vision for ASW Superiority using a "coordinated, networked force of submarines, surface ships, aircraft, and Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS) assets" with "common and unambiguous views that yield operational and tactical situational awareness in the undersea environment." USW-DSS provides capabilities to shorten C2 decision processes for detection-to-engagement across multiple platforms, including those with low-bandwidth communications or intermittent connectivity. The USW-DSS decision support tool uses a SOA encompassing existing communication links, networks, and contact pictures comprised of sensor data from air, surface, submarine, theater, and surveillance platforms to connect sensors and weapons. The capabilities delivered by USW-DSS are critical not only for the SCC but also for the TUSWC and ASWC to fulfill the requirement for an integrated capability to plan, conduct, and coordinate USW operations across multiple ASW platforms. USW-DSS will provide common and improved visualization, integrated USW platform sensor data sharing, reduced data entry, improved sensor performance predictions, data fusion, and reduced redundancy across USW TDAs. The program will provide a greater understanding of the undersea battle space by allowing the entire force (carrier/expeditionary strike group, theater, or other) to have a common and thorough understanding of the battle space with characterized uncertainties.
