Mission Review and Analysis

This paper presents the mission review and analysis module of a C3I (command, control, communication and information) infrastructure-the Neptus framework. This is a mix-initiative environment that it's being developed in the Underwater Systems and Technology Laboratory (USTL/LSTS) with the goal to support the coordinated operation of heterogeneous teams of vehicles. This includes autonomous and remotely operated underwater, surface, land, and air vehicles and people. People perform a fundamental role, not only in the case of remotely operated vehicles, but also with autonomous vehicles where mix-initiative operation is a requirement. The Neptus is very modular and will be heavily based on services with a distributed architecture. This paper focus mainly on the mission review and analysis where the data collected in a mission is prepared for analysis
