  1. Naval Meteorology and Oceanography National Symposium on Multi-Function Phased Array Radar Norman OK RDML(sel) David Titley, USN

  2. Naval Oceanography Alignment Speed to effect Precision to effect International influence Reduced uncertainty Safety of Operations WARFIGHTING FOCUSED KNOWLEDGE-CENTRIC Oceanographic Operations Anti-Submarine Warfare Naval Special Warfare Mine Warfare increased emphasis Warfighting Intelligence Support Shaping Precise Time and Astrometry maintain excellence Navigation • Naval Oceanography • ~$600M operating resources • 12 ships (7 T-AGS, 5 T-AGOS) • 2300 military, 1200 civilians Safety Fleet Operations increased efficiency Maritime Operations Aviation Operations On a 24x7 readiness cycle, the people deliver strategic, operational and tactical effects that continually shape and provide advantage in the battlespace: FNMOC NAVO CUS USNO

  3. Safety • Smart: • Sensing • Forecasting / Automation • Communications • Partnering • NWS • USAF • Other Countries $150B of Ships, A/C and Shore Assets OfficersChiefsJunior EnlistedCivilians Total 27 22 179 12 240

  4. Importance of Real Time Weather • From FY90-98, weather related mishaps to the aviation community* were found to have caused: • Produced 100 deaths - 11 fatalities per year • $69 million in damage to aviation forces • A temporal-based weather display would provide an invaluable wartime advantage over the enemy and allow for safer peacetime and wartime operations. • Increased sortie rate • Better training opportunities • US Marine Corps support – Expeditionary Capability • Small footprint • Mobile * Cantu, 2001

  5. At Sea Weather RadarBenefits for the Warfighter • Environmental phenomena: • Precipitation Areas & Intensity • Radial winds • Effects of these phenomena: • Reduced visibility • Turbulence • Wind shear • Hazardous weather in area operationally affects • Carrier positioning • Departure & arrival procedures • Aircraft diversions • Tanker rendezvous • Marshal Increases Situational Awareness, Safetyand Mission Effectiveness

  6. Hazardous Weather Detection and Display Capability (HWDDC) At Sea Wx Radar Operational Concept Tactical Radar Bridge PriFly CATCC/HDC SIPRNET 23TV Extract weather data Display weather returns Distribute displays

  7. Conclusions • Naval Oceanography’s success is inextricably linked to the success of our DoD and Inter-agency partners • NOAA Line Offices • NASA • USAF, National Geospatial Intelligence Agency • The investment in Naval Oceanography protects the Navy’s ~$150B investment in ships, aircraft, submarines and shore installations. • Increased warfighting effectiveness when real-time wx radar data are available in a combat zone
