Comprehensive Maritime Awareness (CMA) - Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration (JCTD), FY 06-09
Abstract
The Comprehensive Maritime Awareness (CMA) Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration (JCTD) vision is to share maritime shipping information and tracks throughout the world to deter use of commercial maritime shipping for terrorism, WMD proliferation, drugs, piracy, and human trafficking. The JCTD is intended to serve as an exemplar for developing a "culture of sharing" of maritime information between the U.S. and international partners. As such, the project is intended to take advantage of ongoing efforts, or proven technologies and current information sharing agreements. The JCTD is envisioned as having two main focus areas; (1) demonstrate the importance of information sharing toward improved maritime awareness -- both interagency sharing and international sharing; and (2) demonstrate improved information management techniques -- such as automated anomaly detection and application of the US Department of Defense Net-Centric Data Strategy -- to enable effective management of large volumes of shared data. CMA will be developed cooperatively with the Republic of Singapore and a CMA information exchange capability will be available to Singapore and the U.S. at the end of 2006. Singapore's position as the nexus for shipping in Southeast Asia, provides a unique opportunity for sharing information. Singapore will fuse its own disparate data sources with the information and share the information with the U.S.
