Terrestrial Science Applied Research
Abstract
This project investigates and evaluates the condition and changes to the physical environment brought about by natural and manmade causes, especially those affecting military operations. Further, the investigations identify and quantify 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. To achieve this, both empirical and theoretical approaches seek to forecast terrain properties and processes through various modeling approaches, and link them to planning and decision aids forming new capabilities for the Army. Work in this project supports the Army S&T Command, Control, Communications (C3) Portfolio. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS.
