ASW Metrics Symposium Tasking Overview

1. ASW Metrics SymposiumTasking Overview CAPT Jim Berdeguez Director, Oceanography Operations for Anti-Submarine Warfare (228) 688-4843 james.berdeguez@navy.mil

2. For More Information For additional information and details about the ASW Metrics Symposium, please refer to this document http://wx.met.nps.navy.mil/metrics/asw_metrics/asw_symposium/documents/

3. ASW Metrics Overview • Must comply with global ASW CONOPS • Published by Naval Mine andAnti-Submarine WarfareCommand (NMAWC) at http://fltaswcom.navy.smil.mil/globalasw.htm • Study the 10 points bottom to top and consider where the METOC community has an impact. • Primary questions • How does the METOC community have an impact on the ASW fight? • How will we measure that impact?

4. Types of ASW Metrics • Performance metrics • Consists of measurable/verifiable physical quantities (e.g. How well did we forecast 20M temperature vs. observed 20M temperature?) • Proxy Metrics • Verifiable quantity (possibly derived) that is defined by the end-user to be closely tied to user performance (e.g., SLD accuracy) • Impact Metrics – (a.k.a. Campaign Metrics) • Verifiable quantity of the end user’s overall warfighting effectiveness (e.g., Number of submarines destroyed, or percentage of missions accomplished.) • Other types of metrics • Quality Metrics – • Measure of the overall quality of a product or service (e.g., TOA grade). Could be a combination of performance metrics • Capacity/Readiness Metrics • Number of SME’s available and/or trained watchstanders. • Efficiency Metrics – • number of SME’s required to publish TOA.

5. Background: 3-D Metrics Space/ Spectrum Higher Level Larger Temporal/ Spatial Scale Performance Proxy Impacts Impacts Smaller Temporal/ Spatial Scale Lower Level

6. Background: 4-D Metrics Continuum(With Examples) Larger Spatial Scale (Whole-exercise box) Higher Level (Navy-wideSLD accuracy) End State Metric Focus (years) Metric Symposium Focus Space Performance(Temperature and salinity accuracy) Impacts (Number of positively identified submarines) Proxy Impacts (SLD accuracy) Smaller Spatial Scale (Point forecast location) Lower Level (MOATs SLD accuracy) Long timeframes (e.g., days/months/years/exercise) Short timeframes (e.g., single forecast) Time

7. Focus Committees • Three separate exploratory committees were formed with differing focus areas. • MPRA • ASW Reachback Cell • Naval Oceanography ASW Teams (NOATs) • Each committee is directed to a complete focus committee tasking order by 21 Feb 07. • Forward results to LT Parker @ scott.w.paker@navy.mil • The executive committee will guide the focus committee and direct the project.

8. MPRA Committee • LEAD: Clear Science – Mr. Bruce Ford • NOAD Kadena OIC - LCDR (Sel) Danny Garcia • NOAD JAX OIC – LT Eric Macdonald • CPRG - CDR Sopko • NRL - Pat Hogan • APL- UW – Mr. Bob Miyamoto • FNMOC – LTJG Dave Watson • PDD South - Doug Lipscombe • SPA - Paul Vodola, Matt McNamara, Luke Piepkorn

10. Executive Committee • LEAD: Dr. Tom Murphree (NPS) • CNMOC Technical Director - Mr. Ed Gough • ASW DOO/DDOO - Capt Jim Berdeguez, LT Scott Parker • CNMOC N9 – Steve Lingsch • NMAWC - CDR Ash Evans • N84 – CDR Mike Angove • NRL - Pat Hogan, Josie Fabre, Greg Jacobs • ONR – CDR Doug Marble • SPA – Paul Vodola, Matt McNamara, Luke Piepkorn • PDC – Merrill Stevens • PMW 180 – Marcus Speckhahn

11. Committee Tasking Order • All committees shall: • Document the METOC support process (diagram if necessary) in terms of the end-user’s mission timeline (planning/execution/debrief). Include: • Unclassified examples of the all products issued • Annotate how METOC support is incorporated • Are TTPs used for METOC support? If so, how? • Determine the end-user of METOC products produced by focus area (e.g., warfighter or other METOC personnel). • Determine what metrics (see previous definitions) should be collected (1st guess). Include: • Performance metrics • Proxy metrics • Must be closely correlated with customer performance • End user must agree that proxy metric values directly impact their ability to complete their mission successfully • Examples: Accuracy of SLD, Sea Surface Height, MDR, Buoy Depth Setting reccomendations • Impact metrics

12. Tasking Order (cont) • Recommended metrics collection techniques • Source (METOC products, mission debriefs) • Frequency Required (hourly, 12-hourly, weekly) • Verifiability (verified with observations, reconstructions) • Collection points/methods (within end-user mission timeline) • Map recommended metrics to 4D Metrics Continuum (slide 4) • Identify existing metrics within the end-user’s realm that are already being calculated
