Maritime Analytics Prototype: Phase 3 Validation

Abstract

Maritime domain operators and analysts around the world have a mandate to achieve Maritime Domain Awareness. In Canada, the Marine Security Operation Centres (MSOCs) rapidly process a variety of information streams in order to develop shared situational awareness, which is communicated through the Recognized Maritime Picture (RMP), a shared multi-modal description of all that is known. Key goals of this analysis are to: (1) Understand what the observations mean, and thus (2) Anticipate what may happen next, so that appropriate action may be taken in a timely manner. The specific objectives of this contract are: (a) Design, develop, and test how the Phase 3 Maritime Visual Analytics Prototype (MVAP) supports Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA). (b) Perform validation activities (usability trials) for all the visual apps and widgets of the MVAP to estimate how well objectives have been met. Sections 2 through 6 of this document focus on the validation methodology and results.
