Abstract: The specific opportunity to be addressed here is that of leveraging advanced geo-referenced information and analysis techniques and tools in support of the Navy Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW DSS) threat opposition force (OPFOR) assessment, also known as "Red Teaming". The OPFOR commander plans and executes missions in opposition to U.S. Navy forces with consideration of the air-sea environment, an assessment of relevant ship and system capabilities, the evolving tactical situation and perceived asset dispositions and readiness levels, and mission objectives. The goal of U.S. Navy "Red Teaming" is to "get inside the head" of the OPFOR commander and in so doing to distill possible OPFOR courses of action down to a manageable set of alternatives. If successful, this will result in rapid assessment of likely OPFOR intentions and plans, enabling enhanced USW DSS decision timelines, decision effectiveness, and overall situational awareness.
Benefits: The objective of this work is to leverage advanced georeferenced information and multi-criteria suitability analysis (MCSA) techniques and tools in support of the Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW DSS) threat opposition force (OPFOR) assessment or "Red Teaming". This work could also have application in the Global Command and Control System-Navy (GCCS-N) and the Distributed Common Ground System-Navy (DCGS-N).
