Metis enables the integration of the disparate locations where mission planning occurs and facilitates collaborative mission planning in Ready Rooms. Metis provides a framework and a set of techniques to integrate mission planning devices at different locations. Metis is designed to be secure and can be used for collaborating on, and for sharing classified mission plans and data.

Benefit:
The use of modern devices such as smartboards, tablets, AR googles, and VR headsets has the potential of revolutionizing mission planning. Metis makes it possible for Navy mission planners to securely use these technologies and to reap the benefits of these technologies. The integration of planning devices and locations eliminates the need to manually copy data from one device to another or from systems in one location to systems in another. Commercial applications for Metis include the Team Collaboration Software and Enterprise Content Management markets.

Metis enables collaborative mission planning across locations connected by low-bandwidth, unreliable network links. It provides a Synchronization Service to ensure planners at different locations have consistent views of plans and planning data. This service works across network connections and disconnections and can detect conflicts when service state is updated independently at different locations. It is designed to be secure and can be used for collaborating on, and for sharing classified mission plans and data. The Metis Synchronization Service will be integrated with the NGNMPS (Next Generation Navy Mission Planning System) microservices.

Benefit:
Metis will save the Navy time and money by enabling collaborative planning across multiple locations, even if the locations are connected by unreliable networks. Planners do not have to be flown into a central location for collaboration. Metis will be integrated with the NGNMPS (Next Generation Navy Mission Planning System) so this capability will be available to all users of the NGNMPS. Commercial applications for Metis include the Team Collaboration Software and Enterprise Content Management markets.
