BUILDING STRONG®
Provide short-term forecasting ability based on high-fidelity simulation results for brown water systems in data-poor or denied areas.
Produce navigation/land access charts for theater-specific sites that include:
► Wave and current climate
► Water depth and vessel draft
► Bank slope and condition
► Water visibility
► Bathymetric uncertainty

Forecasting Theater Specific Risk
Product is red/amber/green charts for specific locations, times, and vessels
BUILDING STRONG®
Perform reference, high-fidelity simulations that include range of possible available data
► only remotely sensed data
► + ‘soft’ data like inferred depths from boat traffic and wave/current observations
► + detailed gage and bathymetric data
