Abstract
This Project designs and develops tools as well as identification and assessment methodologies for ecosystem vulnerability assessment, analysis, monitoring, modeling, and mitigation to support sustainable use of Army facilities, training lands, firing ranges, and airspace to reduce or eliminate environmental constraints to military and how the use of those resources effect mission support and environmental compliance. The Project investigates, designs, and develops novel methods and missions, providing the Army with the technical capability to manage, protect, and improve the biophysical characteristics of training and testing areas needed for realistic and sustainable ranges and training lands. Technologies within this Project enable users to match mission events and training schedules with the resource capabilities of specific land areas and understand technologies to adapt and restore lands damaged during training activities and allow sustained use of Army resources. The Project supports readiness and full use of training lands through development of invasive, threatened, and endangered species monitoring technology, and management technologies for species at risk. The Project also designs and develops tools and technologies to avoid training restrictions and reduce constraints on training lands associated with potential impacts from climate change. Work in this Project supports the Army Science and Technology (S&T) Innovation Enablers Portfolio. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy and supports the Army Strategy for the Environment. Work in this Project is performed by the Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS.
