Summary As a key tenet of distributed maritime operations (DMO), available manned and unmanned, surface and air, combatants and sensors require integration to serve as a cohesive, networked force despite their distribution through physical space-time. This research project seeks to understand how to enable this kind of cohesive combatant-sensor integration for DMO and to model and outline the kinds of system capabilities and behaviors necessary for their integrated implementation.

RQ1: What technologic trajectories of unmanned systems are most relevant to DMO over the coming decade?
RQ2: What kinds of command and control (C2) approaches, organizations and technologies are most appropriate to leverage such technologic trajectories for effective DMO?
RQ3: What kinds of decisions, specifications and training modifications are needed to guide DMO over the next ten years?

Deliverables will include a journal quality technical report, which may be submitted for publication, along with a draft DMO guide
