(U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The Combat Systems Oceanographic Performance Assessment (CSOPA) Program Element provides oceanographic/atmospheric research and development for expanded knowledge and improved understanding of the environment and its impact on combat systems performance. Its purpose is to assess, predict and enhance the performance of current and proposed undersea surveillance, tactical and mine warfare and weapons systems. This effort is accomplished through at-sea experimentation, numerical model and data base development, development and evaluation of stand-alone and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I)-system-embedded prediction/tactical decision aid products, fleet technical support, and system and area technical assessments. Emphasis is placed on shallow water and other harsh environments, and regional conflict and crisis response scenarios. The Advanced Environmental Acoustic Support (AEAS) Project conducts complex oceanographic and acoustic measurements, develops computer prediction products, models and simulations, data bases, and conducts analyses in support of undersea warfare and mine warfare systems. The Advanced Underwater Acoustic Modeling Project (AUAMP) is focused on the development of a family of acoustic system performance prediction products beginning with active system models and data bases in the low-, mid-, and high-frequency regimes and culminating with high fidelity simulation products. The Sensor Performance Prediction Project develops computer-based, on-board capabilities to provide system performance predictions, operating mode selection guidance and tactical decision aids for tactical platforms based on AEAS and AUAMP-developed models and historical data bases using in situ measurements and synoptic data. These guidance products are essential to maximize the effective employment of combat systems and weapons in highly complex regional conflict littoral warfare areas. The CSOPA Program products are being tailored for, and assimilated into, the onboard Combat Systems and the Joint Maritime Command Information System to operationally provide accurate system performance predictions and into fleet trainers to provide realistic ocean environments in support of warfare simulations. Direct support to existing fleet systems is provided in the Combatant Data Collection thrust which focuses on in situ measurements through operational weapon systems and provides direct, real-time feedback to optimize system performance in tactical situations. The CSOPA Program supports the Joint Mission Areas of Joint Littoral Warfare and Joint Surveillance.
(U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under DEMONSTRATION & VALIDATION because it develops and integrates hardware and software for experimental test related to specific ship or aircraft applications.

A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The Department of Defense has turned its focus from the global threat of the Soviet Union to the future regional conflict scenarios outlined in the Defense Planning Guidance (DPG). Most of the DPG scenarios require operating naval forces in the earth's littoral waters which are shallow, have highly variable (in space and time) oceanographic conditions and confined maneuvering space. Of key concern to the U.S. Navy is the dual threat posed by very quiet diesel submarines capable of opposing U.S. naval forces and sea mines which will dramatically restrict force mobility and hamper or curtail amphibious operations. To counter these threats, there is an urgent and continuing need for the Navy to fully understand the ocean areas in which they will operate in the future. This project provides the necessary research and development to: a) rapidly and automatically acquire a broad array of meteorological and oceanographic (METOC) data in littoral areas using organic sensors on fleet platforms and use these data to optimize system performance; b) accurately predict the performance of warfighting systems under development or employed in those areas; c) develop new capabilities in environmental acoustic models and data bases to support assessments of regional conflict ocean areas; d) develop a synthetic environment module which will drive future simulations, and e) provide real-time and remote METOC data collection modeling and analysis capabilities.
