Tactical Environmental Support

Abstract

The Tactical Environmental Support Project (3404) enables the future warfighter to leverage environmental data gathered, assimilated and predicted under Projects 2341 (METOC Collections) and 2342 (METOC processing) by incorporating them into warfighting technological, net-centric applications that shape the way in which commanders engage the enemy, take full advantage of environmental conditions (and their impacts on systems and sensors) and complete the mission in the most efficient manner feasible. These software decision support tools complement the capabilities found in the Naval Integrated Tactical Environmental System Next Generation (NITES-Next) Program of Record, 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).
