This document reports findings from an MDA Process Engineering Workshop (PEW) hosted by the Naval Postgraduate School 15-17 January 2008. The objectives of the PEW were to: * Refine, extend, and validate a process model of Maritime Domain Awareness * Define attributes of the activities that constitute MDA, specifically information requirements, processing activities, products, and resource (time, manning) requirements * Specify which MDA activities may benefit from Spiral 1 technologies, and develop concepts for assessing that utility * Identify barriers to fielding MDA Spiral 1 technologies Representatives of the following organizations participated in the PEW: ASN RDA, C3F, COTF, Dept. of the Under Secretary of the Navy, DISA, HFE LLC, JITIC, METRON, MIFCLANT, MIFCPAC, NAVCENT, NAVNETWARCOM, NCIS, NORTHCOM, NPS, NRL, NWDC, ONI, OPNAV, PMW 120, and SPAWAR. Also participating were subject matter experts (SMEs) from several of the MDA Spiral 1 technologies, domain experts ( gray beards ), representatives from the Trident Warrior 2008 (TW08) operational experiment where many of the MDA Spiral 1 technologies will be assessed, and members of the assessment team (NPS, Aptima, Pacific Sciences & Engineering, WBB Inc.).
