Abstract:

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography SIO was funded by the Office of Naval Research to investigate whether data from Civilian research systems could be exploited to improve Navy operational missions. This report covers the activities and some recent results that indicate civil systems are a critical asset that could readily be applied to provide information essential to current Navy problems, such as characterization of the littoral zone, ship monitoring and tracking.
