USCG Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
Contents
The CONOPS diagram represents the "Concept of Operations" for
the USCG. It illustrates the concept of a common operation picture
of information, which can disseminate near real-time graphical
information from and to anywhere at any time.
This graphic was designed by the John Hopkins University Applied
Physics Laboratory and adopted by the USCG for inclusion in the
USCG Strategy for Maritime Safety, Security, and Stewardship
dated 19 January 2007.
This information can be used to understand how the common
operation picture provides clear information across various sources.
