CCOI report
National Assets report CCOI (Critical Contact of Interest) enroute Battlegroup ‘Alpha’
SUW CDR embarked aboard DDG generates cueing order and directs launch of SSC aircraft from CVN; request P-3 for maritime surveillance
E2-C locates COI with radar approaching surveillance area outside normal shipping traffic lanes
SSGN + embarked SOF teams monitor situation by searching for relevant reports from area; study possibility of take-down mission
P-3 checks into TADIL; SUW CDR provides search area coordinates and possible CCOI track information
S-3 & SH-60 assets are coordinated for shipping lane traffic ID; imagery fm H-60 provided for Intel cell analysis; CCOI ID confirmed
CVN (SOF Capable) provides assets for board & search; SSBN directed to scene for inspection/seizure if required
DDG directed to provide area security; designated OSC (On-Scene-Commander)
SH-60 reports SOF onboard vessel; no resistance
SSBN reports on station; on board SOF disembarks to assist search
SOF reports sensitive material secured; vessel underway and escorted by DDG

SSN detects multiple small, high speed craft exiting harbor ‘X-Ray’
SSN periscope image of targets of interest passed via SIPRNET to CV-TSC (CVN) & SUW CDR embarked aboard DDG
SUW CDR associates image to GCCS-M track and assigns track as COI (Contact of Interest)
SH-60/UAV launched for patrol up threat axis for further tracking and reporting of small boat COI
E-2 RADAR detects small boat COI; assumes control of SH-60 asset for flight following, air space Deconfliction, comms link
SSN imagery update ID'S COI small boats as armed vessels (possible missile launchers and deck mounted guns)
DDG reports SH-60 ‘Hawklink’ contacts on COI. Contacts do not respond to IFF interrogations
E-2 correlates SH-60 tracks as COI, reorients asset outside COI weapons release area
P-3 enters maritime area for Surface Surveillance & Control mission

E-2 joins Link-11/16 and assumes NCS
E-2 generates new tracks ID unknown over country ‘X-ray’
CVN generates track ID alert; 4 of 4 tracks ID Commercial Air based on flight profile
ISR reports increased activity at military airfield ‘X-Ray’
DDG generates ID Conflict Alert on track ‘0001’ ; COMMAIR ID change to Unknown based on ISR
DDG generates Tactically Significant Track ‘0002’ ; ID Unknown, point of origin correlates to known military airfield
E-2 reports track ‘0001’ responds to commercial IFF interrogations; redesig COMMAIR
SSN reports increased activity on known GCI channels in country ‘X-Ray’
E-2 reports track ‘0002’ feet wet
DDG reports split track 0002; new track ‘0003’; change ID to UNK Assumed Enemy; AAW CDR launches Alert CAP; elevates threat warning condition
CVN (Air Resources Element CDR) launches Alert CAP
SSN reports CGI channel communications as training oriented
DDG re-designates tracks ‘0002 & 0003’ UNK

11. A Common Data Model (CDM)
Based on Cursor on Target (CoT) and JC3IEDM

12. Experiment Using DEP
SV-1

13. Results Official report still in progress but:
Showed to VIP’s exchange of Common Data Model (CDM) data between domains – a new way of data synchronization using XML/TCP and IDL/DDS instead of Government custom formatting / parsing software and message protocols (e.g., TADILs).
