DMO Tactical Grid Edge Processing, Mission Analytics, Officer Qualification

NPS NRP Project PosterIn A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority, Version 2 the CNO called for the design of a comprehensive operational architecture for Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO): (a) tactical grid to connect distributed nodes; (b) data storage, processing, and technology at the nodes; (c) an overarching data strategy; and (d) analytic tools including artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML). This project informs DMO objectives with technical designs for hardware, software, processing and AI/ML at the tactical edge. The Naval S&T Strategic Plan identifies Warfighter Performance to ensure readiness through information processing. System capability and information processing frameworks will support officer DMO qualification.
