Tactical Environmental Support

Abstract

Tactical Environment Support, initiated in FY 2018, enables the warfighter to leverage environmental data by incorporating them into technological applications that shape the way commanders engage the enemy, take advantage of environmental conditions (and their impacts on systems and sensors) and complete the mission in the most efficient manner feasible. Software decision support tools complement and provide capabilities found in Naval Integrated Tactical Environmental System Next Generation (NITES-Next) Program of Record (POR), and provide platform, sensor, communications, and weapon systems performance assessments for littoral and deep-strike warfighters. The following warfighting disciplines benefit directly from these METOC Exploitation capabilities: (1) Undersea Warfare (USW), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Mine Warfare (MIW), Amphibious Warfare (AMW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW), Anti-Air Warfare, (AAW), Strike Warfare (STW), Expeditionary Warfare (EXW), Electronic Warfare (EW), Information Operations (IO), Intelligence Operations (INT), Non-Combat Operations (NCO), Command, Control, Communication (CCC), and Naval Special Warfare (NSW).
