Summary	Processes used to collect, process, exploit, and disseminate certain data gathered in undersea environments, specifically intended to support target development, currently do not align with existing joint warfighting authorities, decision-making matrices, information-sharing alliances, vernacular, metrics, data systems, or data formats. Multiple other required future decisions about how best to translate seabed warfare into the joint arena rest on this foundational issue. This study intends to determine how best to physically transmit, archive, manipulate, and reference certain types of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance data. The resulting tasking, processing, collections, exploitation, and dissemination (TCPED) chain must exist in such a way that will enable the data to be equally usable as, and comparable to, other ISR data types that already conform to mature sets of processes recognized across all the Department of Defense, the national Intelligence Community, and many foreign military partners. Project team members envision that this will be a multi-year process, with the first year focusing on comparing and contrasting two types of existing processes. This second year will employ Monterey Phoenix computer simulation capabilities for best fit of information, organization and processes.
