Timely Information for Maritime Engagements (TIMEly)
Abstract
Integration of undersea elements for joint cross-domain operations is critical for developing the most effective distributed kill webs. The Timely Information for Maritime Engagements (TIMEly) program is creating a heterogeneous underwater network architecture that will span the ocean and bridge to other operating domains. TIMEly will provide an adaptive, heterogeneous, scalable communications capability to link undersea and cross-domain assets together into kill webs with minimal operator burden. The program will focus on developing architectures with the capability to transfer the right information to its intended recipient. TIMEly will work within commonly understood limitations, with a focus on protocols, quality of service, and information exchange. The program will leverage developments demonstrating short-range and long-range acoustic communications at higher bandwidth and greater reliability, while minimizing detectability. The program will also leverage recent developments in network interoperability to manage heterogeneous undersea and cross-domain networks. Technology developed by this program will transition to the Navy.
