Environmental Mission Impact Assessment

Abstract

The Environmental Visualization (EVIS) system for producing environmental mission impact assessment products was accepted as a transition in 2007 by the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) in Monterey, CA, after passing operational testing and accreditation. EVIS is a service-oriented architecture (SOA) system developed by NRL and the Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington, to address human factors and automation issues associated with the stress of the operational tempo. Through a series of experiments, workflow and visualization shortfalls were identified in the battlespace environmental forecasting process. Experimental analysis resulted in the development of new applications, workflows, and visualization products that together constitute the EVIS system. Formal testing demonstrated a 40% reduction in the completion time for tactical air strike forecasts.
