  1. FAST TACTICFast TACTical Integration Console Presented by: Paul Bienhoff, Jeff Smart, and Wayne Loschen Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory

  2. Overview: FAST TACTIC Provides... • Relational Database with Interactive GUI • Ownship Environmental Database • Access to Mission & Historical Data • To be Integrated with TEDS and SFMPL • Laptop Implementation Available

  3. ARCI/BSY-1 TEDS DII/COE JMTK Display Client* FAST TACTIC Integration Concept CORBA Ownship & Contact Server Ownship environmental sensors FAST TACTIC DISPLAY Client Phase 1 SFMPL METOC Server CORBA Environmental Server Phase 2 TL Models Le * The JMTK Display runs on a UNIX Workstation

  4. FAST TACTIC Addresses These Navy Needs and Requirements • METOC ON-SCENE ANALYSIS AND FORECAST CAPABILITY (MNS M092-91-98) • OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA COLLECTION (MNS M094-96-98) • JOINT ARMY-NAVY-USAF THEATER METEOROLOGICAL & OCEANOGRAPHIC (METOC) COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITY (JTMCC) (MNS060-096-94)

  5. FAST TACTIC Addresses These Navy Needs and Requirements (cont’d) • METEOROLOGICAL DATA COLLECTION CAPABILITY (M067-096-95) • TACTICAL ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPORT SYSTEM (TESS) (ORD 369-096-94) • GLOBAL COMMAND & CONTROL SYSTEM – MARITIME (GCCS-M) (ORD 510-06-99)

  6. Quotes from UNDERSEA WARFARE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY NEEDS DOCUMENT* • Sharing relevant USW information from any sensors • Generate the USW Common Environmental Picture; improve capabilities to gather in-situ measurements • Automatically extract and update … environmental information from a database and display pertinent information • Capability to fuse acoustic, sonar related tactical and environmental data • Environmental … data bases… and visualization aids …supporting operator exploration of … oceanographic and atmospheric conditions • Intuitive visualization exploiting 2D, 3D and VR representations to enable “situation-at-a-glance” awareness • Measure …in-situ environmental variables such as SVPs in real time … and to share and integrate this information across the battle force [for complete descriptions; see the Notes Page] *Revised 22 December 1999; sponsored by Undersea Warfare Executive Steering Group

  7. Comparison Between TEDS, SFMPL, & FAST TACTIC * capability depends on platform

  8. TEDS, SFMPL, & FAST TACTICOwn Ship Environmental Data Storage * limited capability on BQQ-5D/BSY-1 sonar systems ** Being implemented on surface vessels only

  9. How Are Data Handled Now ? • SCICEX Data: • Scientists Collect/Hold Data for Years • Own-Ship Data: • Paper Charts & Manual Entry • Off-Ship Data: • ONI + NAVO Backlog ~ 2 Years • (primarily due to paper charts, hand digitizing, etc.; use of digital data from FAST TACTIC will streamline this process)

  10. Operator Console Off-ship (message) Data FAST TACTIC = SOARED + Underway Data TASKS: Vulnerability Assessments & Models Network Centric Data Management Acoustic Propagation Models For Weapons & Sonar • SOARED (Environmental Database) • CONTENTS: • Historical & Gridded Data • Recent Updates/MODAS fields • Ownship sensor data • CAPABILITIES: • Data Preview: Charts & X-Y Plots • Automated Data Quality Checks & Data Editing* • Data Compression • Data Reporting • Ownship Sensors • BQH-1 (SVP), SSXBT, XCTD, ... • Bathymetry, Le, ... Color Key: EXISTING CAPABILITY NEW CAPABILITY

  11. * GDEM = Generalized Digital Environmental Model re-sampled at 30 nmi resol. What Is SOARED ? • Fully Functional Environmental Database • Prototype to Evaluate Fast Tactic Functions • Current Contents: • SCICEX ‘95 CTD Data • NODC Historical CTDs • GDEM* Winter & Spring T, S, sound speed • SCICEX ‘95 Bathymetry (sampled once/minute) • SCICEX ‘96 Hi & Lo Resolution Ice Keel Data

  12. SOAREDData Locations Historical CTD Data (NODC) 5000 0 m SCICEX CTD/ SSXBT Data: SCICEX Bathymetry Data

  13. SOAREDData Locations GDEM (30 nmi sub-sampled) SCICEX Ice Keel Data

  14. Own Ship Environmental Data Storage Volume Estimates * assumes 90 day patrol
