Delivering on the power of data to ships in austere or contested environments requires careful consideration of system capacity, bandwidth, and processes to drive capability. Ship-based and shore-based applications and processes must be married into a system that progressively improves own-ship algorithms in real time and fleetwide algorithms in near real-time. Once this operational picture is achieved, system readiness becomes a known value and a decision aid rather than a set of derived metrics. Additionally, real-time mission posture assessment becomes a “must do” prior to the execution of a mission.
This paper identifies the current state of mission readiness assessment and ultimately fills a known gap within naval combat systems by laying out a shipboard and shore-based architecture used to translate information into action. In doing so, the study addresses information configuration management and processes needed to synthesize multiple disparate data sets into an eventual adaptive operational readiness assessment based on mission need.
This paper develops a conceptual design and model using Innoslate and other tools that establishes data nodes, data interrelationships, and a high-level data management operational viewpoint. The conceptual model will be analyzed to study Operational Availability (Ao) and Probability of Successful Mission (Psm) improvements in operational scenarios.Delivering on the power of data to ships in austere or contested environments requires careful consideration of system capacity, bandwidth, and processes to drive capability.
