Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM)
Abstract
Post Mission Analysis (PMA) currently includes two projects: the legacy Organic Post Mission Analysis (OPMA) system and the next generation Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM) system. OPMA provides PMA capabilities for the Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS), the AN/AQS-20A sensor, and the Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS); OPMA also contains a separate module for contact management. NSAM will be the replacement for OPMA and will begin fielding in FY21. NSAM will be the single tactical and environmental PMA system for all MIW sensor data and will provide integrated contact management capabilities. NSAM creates a collaborative, multi-data set, multi-user environment with the goal of reducing the mission timeline and increasing the mission effectiveness. Additionally, NSAM provides a training mode for operators to maintain proficiency and PMA skill sets. NSAM is designed with an extensible architecture, to ease integration of additional sensors and advanced algorithms. The NSAM architecture and software development processes will reduce the cost for adding PMA and contact management capabilities of future MCM systems. NSAM will be developed in incremental builds; efforts through FY19 integrated ALMDS, AMNS, AN/AQS-20A sensor PMA and contact management (B1.0); efforts through FY20 will add contact management for the AN/AQS-20C sensors (B1.1) and begin full AN/AQS-20C PMA integration (B1.3); FY21 efforts will begin UISS contact management (B1.2). Future incremental builds will add support for additional MCM sensor weapons systems. Additionally, NSAM will implement cybersecurity requirements using the new Risk Management Framework (RMF) process. The Integrated Tactics project comprises integrated tactics development, theory development, and integrated tactics training. To date, the project has been focused on the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) MCM Mission Module (MM), and all the related integrated tactics support from planning, execution, post-mission analysis and includes contact management automation methods. Additionally, the project develops doctrinal updates as well as new overall MCM theory.
