Dr. Locke-Wynn and Mr. LaCroix also provided information on NMOC’s research, development, test, and evaluation priorities, highlighting the 7 discipline areas its annual priority reporting covers. They particularly focused on the discipline areas of oceanography and acoustics, hydrography and seabed characterization, numerical modeling, forecasting and tactical decision aids, and sensing and data dissemination.
