develop a framework process that can be adapted by U.S. Naval Forces to prioritize what data should be collected and how the data should be managed, what new models should be developed and what improvements should be made to existing models, which data fusion and value-added products should be developed to effectively and efficiently disseminate environmental information to naval units;
identify those segments of the process that would benefit from targeted research
prioritize the proposed improvements by identifying which actions are most needed and achievable as well as those that a more likely to make a significant positive impact.

should foster efforts by ONR (by providing expertise and access) to develop and implement a system that promotes Optimized Environmental Characterization, keyed to action-specific warfighter needs during various naval missions or suites of missions. Data and information quality are central.
should invest in the development of formal and rigorous methods for identifying high-priority data needs that are specific to the platforms and missions to be involved in any potential naval action. Determination of the cost of uncertainty, and a focus on data collection efforts that result in the greatest reduction in total cost of uncertainty, should be given priority at ONR and the Office of the Oceanographer.
