NPS CORE Lab is on the Cutting Edge of Analytical Support

Abstract

The Department of Defense Analysis is home to the CORE (Common Operational Research Environment) Lab. CORE was established in Root Hall at NPS in 2007 with the mission to support U.S. and International field operatives in the analytical craft of integrating geospatial, cultural, relational, and temporal data in order to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the Irregular Warfare environment. CORE is the only lab in the country that purely focuses visual analytic analysis of Irregular Warfare (IW) problem sets in direct support of Soldiers on the Ground. CORE Lab students and key projects are featured below, including break through initiatives in Afghanistan, Arabian Peninsula, and the Open FIST ethnographic collection system!
