Navy oceanography’s GoM ops

STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. – The Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Commands (NAVMETOCCOM) have been conducting operations in the Gulf of Mexico for months in support of its Unmanned Systems Operational Demonstration that runs through June 1. Operations and observations collected will be integrated on a unique common operational picture at the Combat Readiness Training Center-Battlefield Airmen Center in Gulfport, Miss. "The Mississippi Gulf Coast is extremely suited to nearly all the mission types the Navy addresses," said Rear Adm. Tim Gallaudet, commander of NAVMETOCCOM and oceanographer of the Navy.
