    The Ordnance Tracking Information System (OTIS) is a collaborative decision-support tool that assists personnel on aircraft carriers to react quickly and efficiently to changing ordnance requirements. OTIS provides continuous information on weapon availability, suggests efficient load movements, and maintains key decision-makers awareness of weapon locations.
 
    Under sponsorship from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), OTIS began development in December 2000. This initial release resulted in a proof-of-concept system designed to track ordnance movements on existing and planned Navy aircraft carriers.
 
    As an agent-based decision-support tool, OTIS accelerates the decision-making process by monitoring the movement of ordnance and providing near real-time decision assistance to ordnance planners. An objectified picture of the decision environment allows OTIS to increase the visibility of weapons movement and accelerate delivery tempo.
 
    OTIS is based upon the Integrated Cooperative Decision Making (ICDM) framework.
