IOMI Fleet applications/CONOPS Dr. Walt McKeown, Fleet Science Advisor Bruce Sanders, ONR Naval S&T Office
Military relevance • #1 DON & DOD 2001 Space Experiments Review Board • Prioritized CFFC metoc concerns • Naval tasking on operational time steps • Bruce Sanders: planned data CONOPS
Prioritized CFFC metoc concerns • #1: Adequate geosat coverage in the Indian Ocean • Covered until 2013, hardened to Navy specs • #2: More accurate RS capabilities in data sparse & denied areas • Target area met: timelines, soundings, mesoscale updates • Rapid EM/EO update to battle groups (AREPS) • #6: Improved forecasting skills and accuracy • Slant angle visibility (aerosols, dust, smoke) • Monitor visibility changes during strikes • Input to mesoscale and synoptic models • Wind shear input to TC models
Prioritized CFFC metoc concerns • #7: Improved climatology for operational planning • Mesoscale climatology • Not considered • Spectral emissivity (C/B contaminated ground?) • Absorption line signatures of chemical clouds? • Temperature difference, known background • Change detection • Implications of Navy operational tasking • Forward tasking, real-time operator support • Flexible response in rapidly changing situations
