Mission management in the homeland security and intelligence communities has evolved beyond traditional asset management
into a discipline of its own. Mission management now involves the fusion of disparate
business processes that include mission planning, asset optimization, tasking, command
and control, real-time monitoring and re-planning functions. The challenge with mission
management is that it is inherently an "information synthesis" problem where a user must know
the full picture of the situation and manage the dynamic relationships among all of its variables.
This expanded scope carries an expanded set of requirements.
A transparent workflow among actors
and systems must be linked to existing processes, as well as tied to the operational data so that
users get common operating picture through a single view of plans, assets, mission, availability
and tasks. The picture of a situation must support different coordination, tasking and monitoring
functions, as well as the fusion of ancillary information (such as weather, threat and infrastructure
data) that can be overlayed on the asset or event of interest.
Most of this information resides in different stovepipes across organizational and application boundaries.
End-user interfaces associated with these functions are complex, so they must support rich visualization
and provide high-touch interactivity to support a variety of analysis and management functions.
The back-end business logic is equally complex and often irreplaceable, as it supports planning
and optimization functions; so it is important to leverage existing assets.

Digital Harbor addresses mission management in a unique way: by composing a rich application from the parts of many others so that users obtain the whole picture of a situation. Our solution has three parts:
- First, it enables the creation of rich, contextual user interfaces that reuse different legacy visualization and application interfaces, and combines them into a single, live composite application that gives users an integrated picture of the mission.
- Second, it incorporates a dynamic workflow capability to enable ad-hoc planning.
- Third, it leverages the unique concept of a business ontology to enable semantic integration across complex business logic. Using this approach, even multiple simulations can be integrated to enable real-time embedded forecasting and re-planning.
