Terrestrial Science Applied Research
Abstract
This program element (PE) investigates and evaluates the physical environment's effect on personnel, platforms, sensors, and systems in order to develop improved tactics, techniques, procedures, and plans that ensure information superiority, situational awareness, and force projection. Specifically, this project seeks solutions for minimizing or eliminating the adverse effects of dynamically changing terrain states on sensing capabilities, engineer construction, and tactical maneuver conducted by the Army. To achieve this, effective decision-making tools such as models, simulations, and mission planning and rehearsal factors are required that accurately predict the state of the ground, near-surface atmospheric conditions, and system performance in complex environments. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS.
