TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9

The symposium series was developed, in part, to facilitate interaction between the scientist and the warfighter. Day One of the symposium, therefore, emphasizes interaction with personnel of the Mine Warfare Command (COMINEWARCOM) and the Mine Warfare Training Center (MWTC). Small groups of attendees, accompanied by COMINEWARCOM personnel, will participate in a series of activities and tour relevant ships and facilities in an effort to increase the attendees' awareness of the challenges involved in mine warfare.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10

Day Two introduces the attendees to the mission needs of typical mine warfare operations. Small groups will participate in a single-sided, seminar-style wargame to obtain an understanding of the tactical use of environmental information and identify desired capabilities in the overall area of environmental understanding and prediction in support of mine warfare. Potential research and technology development to provide these capabilities will be proposed and discussed on Day Three.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11

The final day of the symposium will focus on lessons learned and the identification of ways for the ocean science community to support mine warfare. Attendees will be reorganized into topical working groups to provide an opportunity for colleagues to participate in a dialogue directed at problem solving. By identifying research priorities germane to providing COMINEWARCOM with the needed capabilities identified during Day Two, the attendees can help shape the future of oceanographic and meteorological support for the U.S. Navy and the Mine Warfare Command.

Environmental information is important for successful planning and execution of naval operations. A thorough understanding of environmental variability greatly increases the likelihood of mission success. To ensure that naval forces have the most up-to-date capabilities, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has an extensive environmental research program. This research, to be of greatest use to the warfighter, needs to be directed towards assisting and solving battlefield problems. To increase research community understanding of the operational demands placed on naval operators and to facilitate discussion between these two groups, the National Research Council's (NRC) Ocean Studies Board (OSB), working with ONR and the Office of the Oceanographer of the Navy, convened five previous symposia on tactical oceanography.

Oceanography and Mine Warfare examines the following issues: (1) how environmental data are used in current mine warfare doctrine, (2) current procedures for in situ collection of data, (3) the present capabilities of the Navy's oceanographic community to provide supporting information for mine warfare operations, and (4) the ability of oceanographic research and technology developments to enhance current mine warfare capabilities. This report primarily concentrates on the importance of oceanographic data for mine countermeasures.
