Introduction – Lesson Objective

Note: 1. The DRRS-N graphics used in this presentation contain notional data.

They represent CVN and squadron assessments and are for illustration purposes only.

2. The actual DRRS-N application operates on the SIPRNET and carries a SECRET banner versus the UNCLASSIFIED banner depicted here.

At the end of this tutorial, you will have a basic understanding of the functionality of the DRRS-N Assessment Module.

Requesting Accounts

You can access the browser-based DRRS-N application from any SIPRNET connection. • DRRS-N Ashore URL: https://drrsn.nrre.navy.smil.mil/drrsn.• To register for a account, select the “Request Account” option and complete the

account request form

• The DRRS-N Afloat URL can be obtained from your Operations Dept on your ship.

Ashore Login

IRRI (Innovative Readiness Reporting Initiative) a program that allows units at sea to access DRRS-N when bandwidth is poor or SIPRNET access is inadequate

DRRS-N Ashore provides the option to login using your SIPRNET token.

UNCLASSIFIED5

To request a DRRS-N Ashore account, complete the online DRRS-N Account Registration form. Be sure to comply with the username and password rules, and then submit the form when finished.

To request a DRRS-N Afloat account, contact your onboard Innovative Readiness Reporting Initiative (IRRI) Administrator. The administrator will provide you with an IRRI user account with access to the DRRS-N Afloat Assessment module.

Requesting Accounts

Screen Overview

The Show Legend tab displays color conventions (and their meanings) used in DRRS-N assessments.

UNCLASSIFIED16

Screen Overview

The View field allows you to change the mode of operation, or View, of the NMETL assessment web page. You can set the view by clicking either InStaffing or Approved. Only visible to authorized Readiness Reporters assessing their primary or secondary unit of assignment.

The Approved mode allows you to view only those assessments that have been approved. Draft assessments cannot be seen in this view and changes to an assessment cannot be made. (Approved is the default view.)

The InStaffing mode allows you to view and edit assessments that are in draft. Draft assessments may be saved and completed at a later time. Once completed, the Commander approves the assessment for submission.

Computed Scores are rounded averages of PESTO pillar scores for either a Capability or a MET.

Screen Overview

UNCLASSIFIED20

Screen Overview

The CDR column contains the Commander’s Y, Q, or N assessment rating of each capability, MET, along with the C-Ratings.

To see additional information about an assessment, click a Y, Q, or N box, and DRRS-N opens an Assessment Details Dialog for the selected item.

PESTO Pillar Color Conventions

Green - the resource is able to support the capability or NMET (80-100).

Yellow - the resource is able to support the capability or NMET, but with qualifications (60-79).

Red - the resource is not able to support the capability or NMET (59 and below).

Gray - the data needed to determine the readiness level of the resource is not available.

White - no readiness level data is expected for the resource.
