Download or read book Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic Data Collection and Distribution in Support of C4I Weapons and Remote Sensing Systems written by William Hughes Nisley and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On-scene characterization of the battlespace environment is critical toward providing the warfighter with an effective understanding of the environment and its impact on weapon systems and sensors and requires the rapid acquisition and dissemination of on-scene meteorological and oceanographic (METOC) measurements. The current practice of manually observing and recording METOC data is labor intensive, outdated, and no longer capable of satisfying the requirements for higher temporal and spatial observations. This study reviews the current methodology to characterize the battlespace environment, summarizes relevant Navy needs, and describes the results of integrating a prototype small combatant integrated METOC system (SCIMS) developed by the Naval Postgraduate School, with a prototype data processing and distribution system (Weather Viewer) developed by SPAWARSYSCEN San Diego. At-sea demonstration included the acquisition, encoding, transmission and retrieval of real-time observations to/ from shore based METOC data servers at Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center via commercial telephone access to the Internet. The demonstration further served as the basis for development of a PC based prototype shipboard METOC archive and reports system called SMART Log. The study concludes with particular recommendations for updating and improving the system of environmental data collection, processing, utilization, and archival.

Download or read book Metadata Database for Automated Oceanographic Imagery written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final report on the exploratory research performed by Gulf Weather Corporation (GWC) and the Mississippi State University Center for Air Sea Technology (MSU CAST) on Phase I of SBIR topic N93-002; subject: Automated Oceanographic Imagery Information. The sponsor of the research was the Office of Naval Research. Investigation revealed that the primary means of satellite imagery interpretation is by manual. The methodology is cumbersome and the number of 'things of interest' is large, making it highly manpower intensive. The anticipated rapid increase in satellite systems and sensors and the increasing requirements for satellite remotely sensed data to support oceanographic and meteorological models and fleet support applications, particularly in the near-shore coastal zone, indicates that the situation will continue to worsen. The only long term solution is an integrated system of automated tools for satellite data interpretation. There are a number of automated satellite image analysis algorithms available today and others under development. This report provides the generic design for a metadata database system based on 'object-oriented' software, that will provide the 'user- friendly' system for making satellite data analysis tools available to Navy operational and research oceanographers and meteorologists. Metadata Database Automated Ocean Imagery.
Download or read book Distributed Remote Sensing for Naval Undersea Warfare written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-07-12 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widespread availability of quiet, diesel electric submarines and inexpensive mines is posing a growing threat to global access by the U.S. Navy. In response, the Navy has expanded its undersea warfare efforts and put particular emphasis on the potential for new distributed remote sensing (DRS) approaches. To assist with this effort, the former Chief of Naval Operations requested the NRC to conduct an assessment of DRS for naval undersea warfare. This report provides a clear, near-term path by which useful DRS systems can be applied rapidly to pressing naval USW problems, and by which ongoing science and technology efforts can be directed toward the most useful options. The report contains information as described in 5 U.S.C. 552(b) and therefore could not be released to the public in its entirety. The public version consists of the front matter and executive summary.

Download or read book Worldwide Meteorological and Oceanographic Data Distribution Using the Global Broadcast Service written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) produces large meteorological and oceanographic (METOC) data files in support of regional METOC centers worldwide. These data files can be from 50 megabytes to 1 gigabyte in size and can take up to one hour and twenty-eight minutes to send across a T-1 (1.544 Megabits per second (Mbps)) line due to physical limitations and network delays. However, not all of FNMOC's customers have access to a T-1 line. For example, the Naval European METOC Center (NEMOC) in Rota, Spain is hampered by an inadequate telecommunications infrastructure compared to Continental United States (CONUS) standards. This thesis addresses the operational feasibility of using the Global Broadcast Service (GBS), a global system of satellites providing a high speed broadcast service of video and data, for transferring large METOC data products from FNMOC to METOC regional centers around the world.
Download or read book Realizing the Potential of C4I written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-06-17 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid progress in information and communications technologies is dramatically enhancing the strategic role of information, positioning effective exploitation of these technology advances as a critical success factor in military affairs. These technology advances are drivers and enablers for the "nervous system" of the militaryâ€"its command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) systemsâ€"to more effectively use the "muscle" side of the military. Authored by a committee of experts drawn equally from the military and commercial sectors, Realizing the Potential of C4I identifies three major areas as fundamental challenges to the full Department of Defense (DOD) exploitation of C4I technologyâ€"information systems security, interoperability, and various aspects of DOD process and culture. The book details principles by which to assess DOD efforts in these areas over the long term and provides specific, more immediately actionable recommendations. Although DOD is the focus of this book, the principles and issues presented are also relevant to interoperability, architecture, and security challenges faced by government as a whole and by large, complex public and private enterprises across the economy.
