Data Intelligence for Readiness
Force Optimization and Readiness Generation Program
As the Navy and other services emphasize data-driven decisions, CNA supports decision-makers in costing, acquisition, readiness and logistics with advanced data analytics. Our data scientists are able to go beyond aggregated data to track, for example, individual subcomponents by serial number. Such fine-grained data yields more accurate prescriptive analytics to help decision-makers optimize their strategic outcomes at the lowest cost.
We can deploy a decision tool that combines machine learning and prescriptive analytics into the Navy environment, where they can run it themselves. As conditions change, it will optimize for the desired outcome at the minimum cost.

Aviation Cannibalization: Characteristics, Opportunity Costs, and Impact on Readiness
CNA data scientists developed an algorithm that tracked the history and opportunity costs of more than 30,000 cannibalized parts in naval aviation per year across six years.
