Science Objectives | |
| Background: In recent years there has been increasing interest and emphasis placed on developing and fielding unmanned systems to support Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission areas. The Navy Strategic Plan, Defense Planning Guidance and other Program Objective Memorandum guidance cite an urgent need to employ unmanned systems in forward operating areas and augment Carrier/Expeditionary Strike Group and Theater ISR assets. Systems fielded under the CNO Littoral Battlespace Sensing . Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) program have significantly increased dimensional oceanographic sensing capability and capacity in support of Undersea Warfare (USW); leading to significant changes in operational TTP and UUV employment. The Naval Oceanography Program is poised to expand its unmanned systems portfolio to include UAV- and USV- based sensing capabilities in support of optimized sensor employment, improved maritime forecasting, UxV platform mission planning and environmental hazard avoidance and mitigation, and rapid hydrographic survey operations. The availability of high resolution UxV-based METOC observations, typically in data sparse or contested areas, will inevitably lead to significant changes in fleet TTPs. Science Objectives: Utilize observations from unmanned air, surface, and undersea vehicles (UxVs) to assess the impact of in-situ observations on the representation and prediction of the Ocean Battlespace Environment and subsequent tactical impact on predictions of the electromagnetic (EM) propagation characteristics in the coastal marine atmospheric boundary layer. | |
