Innovative Military Installation Resiliency Planning and Adaption Alternative Communications Techniques

Natural hazard planning (e.g., sea level rise, storm surge, etc.) is an essential element of coastal military installation mission assurance, and the need for long-term adaptation and infrastructure resiliency solutions is necessitating new tactics, techniques, and procedures to accelerate the pace and quality of stakeholder technical communications, collaboration, and decision informing. This paper outlines recent efforts to meet these challenges by developing a repeatable methodology for integrating disparate remote sensing and site characterization in a geo-enabled 3D environment to accurately visualize waterfront infrastructure vulnerabilities and develop potential adaptation strategies. Exemplar use cases will be presented to demonstrate how this approach is currently being evaluated by the Department of the Navy to characterize impacts, identify and portfolio of adaptation, and facilitate multi-disciplinary collaboration to improve installation resilience and sustain mission.
