Two Candidate IOOS Architectures as Proposed by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin
In 2006, two contracts were awarded to propose a conceptual design of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), an estimate of the cost to produce the system based on that conceptual design, and a narrative explanation of the viability of the design.
The results of the two contract awards are available below. Ocean.US does not endorse either conceptual design, and the process does not include a down-select from two to one. Analysis of the designs continues, and next steps are being considered by Ocean.US and member agencies of the Interagency Working Group on Ocean Observations (IWGOO).
