ASSESSING CURRENT AND FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES TO MEET THE RANGE SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGE

This presentation delves into current and future technologies to address range sustainability challenges in defense operations. It touches on the Range Readiness and Preservation Initiative, quantifying readiness difficulties, regulatory compliance issues, and sustainable range management goals. The process of defining and prioritizing test and training vulnerabilities, technology evaluation scorecards, and establishing technology operating parameters is explored in detail.

  1. ASSESSING CURRENT AND FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES TO MEET THE RANGE SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGE James L. Tankersley (Battelle) Jerad A. Ford (Battelle) Wednesday, April 27th 2004 NDIA 30th Environmental and Energy Symposium and Exhibition

  2. Introduction • Two Paths • Range Readiness and Preservation Initiative (RRPI) ‘Clarifications’ • New Technologies/Innovative Solutions • DoD Challenges

  3. Challenges • Difficulties Quantifying Readiness • Senior Readiness Oversight Council • Joint Monthly Readiness Review • Regulatory Compliance Issues • Range Rule

  4. Challenges (cont.) • Goals of Sustainable Range Management • Senior Readiness Oversight Council (SROC) • Sustainable Range Working Group • Seeking clarification for RCRA, CERCLA, and CAA

  5. Working on Range Sustainability

  6. DEFINING/PRIORITIZING TEST AND TRAINING VULNERABILITIES • A need to develop defined methodologies for both identifying and prioritizing range-related technologies • Quantifying the effect on range sustainability of new weapon systems, technologies, and training activities

  7. Technology Evaluation Scorecard • Establish Goals and Objectives • Defining Range-Specific Characteristics • Encroachment • “Base Case” Scenario

  8. Nine Encroachment Areas • Endangered Species Act • UXO and Munitions • RF Spectrum Encroachment • Maritime Sustainability • National Airspace System • Air Quality • Airborne Noise • Urban Growth • Outreach

  9. Technology Evaluation Scorecard • Establish Interrelationships • Defining A Range-Specific Goal Baseline • “Sunset Range” • Establish Baseline Characteristics • Define Mission

  10. Relative Ranking of Sustainable Range Criteria

  11. Define Technology Operating Parameters • Example (ACME Missile WS) • Critical Flight Path • Overland Operational Characteristics • Overwater Operational Characteristics • Noise Level (db) • Sonic Boom • Required Operational RF Spectrum • Detonation Characteristics • Emissions/Constituents

  12. Technology Evaluation Scorecard
