Comprehensive Maritime Awareness (CMA)
Abstract
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council validated the capability need for CMA as an FY 2006 new start. The outcome of CMA is demonstration and transition of technologies and operations concepts showing the value of information sharing and effective information management for improving global Maritime Domain Awareness. CMA will demonstrate the value of both interagency and international (Republic of Singapore) information sharing. CMA has demonstrated data management techniques such as automated anomaly detection and threat evaluation, and application of the Department of Defense Net-Centric Data Strategy. CMA is a four year project sponsored by U.S. Pacific Command, U.S. Northern Command, and U.S. European Command. Initial capabilities were demonstrated and operated in FY 2007, with advanced capability spirals later in FY07 through early FY 2009, and transition support in FY 2009. The lead Service is U.S. Navy. The primary outputs and efficiencies to be demonstrated in CMA Military Utility Assessments are (1) percent increase in the number of maritime tracks and identified tracks in U.S. military, interagency, and coalition maritime operational pictures; (2) percent increase in numbers of maritime contacts with amplifying information (such as crew list, cargo manifest, port-of-call history, etc.); (3) percent increase in numbers of vessels of interest monitored by maritime intelligence analysts; (4) number of automated anomaly detections and threat alerts provided to maritime intelligence analysts; (5) increase in number of agencies (U.S. and international) engaged in information sharing across a common service oriented architecture. This project is sponsored by USNORAD/USNORTHCOM, USPACOM, and USEUCOM. The lead Service is US Navy.
