AMRASS

Automated Mission Readiness Assessment for Shipboard Systems

AMRASS transforms shipboard system data into real-time mission readiness insight using data fusion, rule-based analysis, and AI/ML to help operators identify mission impacts, emerging degradations, and operational risk before they affect mission execution.

Mission Challenge

The Problem

Information Overload

Warships produce more operational data than crews can actually process, and much of that data is never used or seen.

No Mission Context

No operational tool currently connects shipboard data to real-time mission readiness assessments, which are still largely qualitative and rely on operator experience.

Disconnected Systems

Mission-critical information is fragmented across multiple independent but related systems, each providing only a piece of the operational picture.

Decision Burden

Watchstanders must manually interpret and correlate data from various systems to assess mission capability and operational risk.

Program Benefits

AMRASS Benefits

Unified Operational Picture

Consolidates data from disparate shipboard systems into a single interface.

Real Time Mission Readiness

Provides real-time understanding of current readiness, mission impacts, and operational risk.

AI/ML Insights

Continuously analyzes shipboard data to detect anomalies, predict system degradations, and identify potential mission impacts before they become operational casualties.

Reduced Watchstander Workload

Eliminates manual correlation and analysis required to assess ship status and mission capability, leading to improved response time and informed decision-making.

Proof

Architecture

AMRASS CONOPS

AMRASS Concept of Operations shows how shipboard data, readiness logic, and mission views connect.

AMRASS concept of operations and architecture view.
  1. 01 Shipboard Data

    Collects sensor, alarm, and status information from combat, engineering, electrical, damage control, and other shipboard systems.

  2. 02 Correlation & Analysis

    Fuses data across systems and applies mission logic, dependency analysis, and AI/ML to identify mission impacts, anomalies, and emerging degradations.

  3. 03 Mission Readiness Insight

    Delivers a unified operational picture with real-time readiness assessments and decision support for watchstanders and command teams.
