After looking further at the MDA initiative, what Buckle said could be huge.

<Today, CDX is turning out to be an invaluable “layer” integrated with the rest of the Maritime Domain Awareness solution that hooks it into the many government agencies required. >

Is he talking the HP solution or the Maritime Domain Awarness Solution? Great if it is the former, huge if it is the latter.

The most important thing to note is the last paragraph. Which is copied below.

<The work of the MDA Architecture Man­agement Hub will extend well beyond the GMCOI. The information sharing stan­dards and methods developed for MDA will have application throughout the Feder­al Government and beyond. The processes and methodologies developed by this effort can benefit COIs and organizations facing similar information challenges.>
