Decision Superiority
Abstract
The Decision Superiority (DS) effort will improve the speed and quality of decisions when conducting undersea warfare activities at the tactical edge that does not require persistent communication reach back. This will be achieved through the development of Decision Aids (DAs) using a holistic Human-Machine-Teaming (HMT) and training approaches and processes to optimize warfighter decisions (e.g. sonar operations, maintenance repair, personnel rotations). The efforts described in this Project address the Applied Research associated with concept of a "Seedling". These "Seedling" efforts are short duration applied research efforts to explore technology concepts which have the potential to provide revolutionary and/or disruptive warfighting capability. As a "Seedling" concept matures, a determination is made whether or not a continuing INP effort is warranted or appropriate. "Seedlings" are typically one to two year efforts and use applied research to analyze the feasibility of technology and subsystems to assess if the technologies can be proposed as an INP. They will research lower TRL technologies to explore technology concepts and lay preliminary groundwork for an INP proposal to continue technology development and full-scale technology/operational demonstrations. The Activity identified in this Project Unit specifically addresses Applied Research in support of the Decision Superiority INP effort.
