Rapid Operational Access and Maneuver Support (ROAMS) Platform for Improved Military Logistics Lines of Communication and Operational Vessel Routing

Abstract

The purpose of this Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) is to document and demonstrate the Rapid Operational Access and Maneuver Support (ROAMS) v2.0 computational scripting/application program interface (API) platform. ROAMS provides improved knowledge of potential lines of communication and vessel routes through hydrodynamic modeling and path optimization under a variety of environmental conditions and input-information qualities/sources. Primary focus of this document is given to the implementation of penalty barrier-based path optimization to provide guidance for subsequent work. The platform additionally provides object-oriented, script-based interaction with principal U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) hydrodynamic models.
