dc.description.abstractLogistics has always been the means to victory or a primary factor in defeat. Logistics does not just happen but must be planned. A very close relationship exists between what is in the fight (the platform, weapon, technology, people) that generates needs and the ability to fulfill those needs. As we move from wars in the Middle East and start realizing the potential power and projection of peer competitors’ national will, it becomes obvious that a shift in both force structure and means to support that force structure must change. Logistics are primary targets of adversaries, and thus the domain in which logistics activities occur is also a major consideration. In this research, we look specifically at the undersea domain. The undersea warfare environment is in a state of evolution towards unmanned and autonomous vehicles. Challenges to logistics are complex and include the development of how and when needs arise for different platforms doing myriad duties in undersea and seabed warfare. We are leaving the manned submarine component aside in this research to focus on this evolution. What the research seeks is an understanding of this new architecture in a framework like the internet of things. Thus, on one side is the complexity of the physical technologies in the water and on the other is the need to distinguish needs and support them in an optimized way, which is also related to the context of the conflict environment. This research is the continuation of a first year’s effort seeking primary thinking and plans for distributed maritime operations (DMO) with undersea included. This year extends that effort to optimization of logistics in the oncoming new reality of undersea warfare. Deliverables include a technical report and possible solutions.en_US
