RIMPAC-08 Planning and Support and OAML Certification
Abstract
Electro-optical identification (EOID) systems are playing an increasingly important role in mine countermeasures (MCM) operations. EOID systems, and other MCM assets, can be used more effectively when tactics and mission planning account for the state of the battlespace environment. The long-term goal of several ONR programs in the Ocean, Atmosphere & Space Division is to develop and transition systems and software to survey the battlespace environment and provide performance estimates for EOID systems operating in that environment. The environmental characterizations and EOID performance predictions are provided to MCM commanders and mission planners anywhere around the world in near real-time to aid in asset allocation and the development of an appropriate and effective course of action. Performance prediction software will be certified for inclusion in the Oceanographic and Atmospheric Master Library (OAML) and placed under configuration management. The objectives of this project were to demonstrate a complete tactical performance prediction capability for electro-optical identification (EOID) systems during the RIMPAC-08 Naval exercise and to prepare EODES performance prediction code for submission to the Oceanographic and Atmospheric Master Library (OAML) Software Review Board (SRB) for certification as a Navy standard model. The RIMPAC-08 exercise is described in last year's annual report for this same contract, so we will limit the present review to the submission of EODES software to the OAML SRB.
