Improving METOC Products and Services by Utilizing Net Centric Concepts

Abstract

In order for the METOC community to remain operationally significant and engaged with the war fighters, decision makers and other customers, METOC products and services must be fully integrated into the systems that these various groups depend on for there daily information. This thesis investigates ways to make METOC product and services more interoperable by utilizing net centric concepts to improve the tactical significance of METOC products, accessibility to data, and interoperability between internal command systems. Improvements where made to the Joint METOC Viewer and METCAST systems to improve the ability of the programs to provide tactically significant products and data accessibility. Additionally, developments were made to create an interoperable Electronic Ship F%older Database and Message Parsing Program that allows all Optimum Track Ship Routing (OTSR) data to be organized into one system that can be used to parse, track and disseminate OTSR related information.
