Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM)

Abstract

Project 4026 Strat Into Medal, Tactics & Trng Organic Force has been renamed Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM). This project element also includes the Integrated Tactics project. Organic Post Mission Analysis (OPMA) provides post mission analysis (PMA) capabilities for the Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS) 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 achieve Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY2022. NSAM will be the single tactical and environmental PMA system for all Mine Warfare (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. NSAM is designed with an extensible architecture, to ease integration of additional sensors and advanced algorithms. Additionally, NSAM includes embedded contact recognition training. NSAM will be developed in incremental builds; efforts in FY2020 added contact management for the AN/AQS-20C sensors (B1.1); FY2021 begins UISS contact management (B1.2) and full AN/AQS-20C PMA integration (B1.3); FY20-21 also include updates to address emerging requirements for the MCM Mission Package IOT&E; FY2022 efforts will complete UISS contact management and continue AN/AQS-20C PMA integration. Future incremental builds will add support for additional mine countermeasures (MCM) sensor weapons systems. Additionally, NSAM will implement cybersecurity requirements by following the Risk Management Framework (RMF) process. The Integrated Tactics project develops MIW tactics across multiple MCM communities. The project develops new tactics theory for emerging systems and operations and Fleet tactics training. Theory and tactics are documented and published into doctrine for Fleet users.
