Summary The Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPECWARCOM) needs to envision and design a C5I systems architecture so hyper-networked that SOF personnel will acquire emergent and disaggregate information, plan/decide/act faster; and use disruptive technologies to create decisive effects in all domains. Adopting Digital Mission Command (DMC) in Joint All Domain Command & Control (JADC2) environment assures asymmetric advantage for SA, decision timeliness and knowledge ubiquity. Our prime research objective advances this by designing a "SA knowledge" service, an adaptive service closing a feedback loop between the dynamic world view and an operator's decision space over this view. The aim is to address the customer's research objective which is dynamically managing discerning workflows at the tactical edge. The approach on this study will define major functional requirements for the disruptive storage. This will include exploring the suitability of multi-dimensional cubes storage for DMC of the Future. Our research team will envision how to represent battlespace situations via graph data models using events to make it adaptive to the world view. We'll also delve into multiple contexts available for a given situation. Finally, we'll explore an idea of a "world state" for a given situations, and how to use "action" events to present dynamic world model by moving from one "world state" to the other. The results of studying current and envisioned architectures to ensure alignment must be captured in IPR presentations and a final report. They will include proposed C5I architecture based on disruptive technologies with recommendations for envisioned capabilities that satisfy future requirements. Our research will ensure proposed C5I architecture will be scalable and extensible.
