Valuing Air Force Electric Power Resilience: A Framework for Mission-Level Investment Prioritization

Abstract

This report describes how the U.S. Air Force currently sets priorities among its investments in power resilience measures, and how it could improve on current decisionmaking processes to reduce the likelihood that electricity-dependent mission-critical functions are disrupted in the event of a prolonged grid outage. The Air Forces interest is to ensure that it is making the most efficient and productive use of available resources to reduce vulnerability and increase mission resilience in the face of a wide range of power outage scenarios.
