Ordnance and Explosives Cost-Effectiveness Risk Tool (OECert)

Abstract

A mathematical/engineering risk model has been developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and QuantiTech, Inc. for use in the defining of Ordnance and Explosives (OE) risk at Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). The model uses several factors at a site (density of ordnance, type of ordnance, terrain features, population density, and many others) to determine the risk to public safety at the site. The model uses many of these same factors, as well as other factors to develop rough order of magnitude life cycle costs for the site. The model will allow the Government to develop a prioritized work list for the FUD sites, as well as to perform prioritized work between different sub-sites of a site.
