Distribution Statement: FOUO 1
Slide 2
Challenge Statement Water Security Problem Statement: We cant
anticipate well the social consequences of hydrologic events or
trends. We dont make optimal decisions regarding water resources
investment or in logistics for disaster relief from hydrologic
events. Challenges: Predict social and hydrological vulnerability
Existing land use and economic models are built primarily on
Western data and decision-making processes and are insufficient for
forecasting or understanding futures in other contexts. Objectives:
Near term (FY17): Water security and its socio- cultural effects
are included in theater campaign plans produced by combatant
commands. Army infrastructure investment plans Challenge Boundary
Conditions: Who: COCOM planners and engineers What: Phase 0 theater
campaign plans and infrastructure investment decisions must include
water vulnerability How: Develop integrated Hydrologic and
Socio-Cultural (HydroSC) analyses; work with Army/COCOM
stakeholders to deliver usable tools. FOUO 2

Consequences and Perception Economic Analysis Engineering Design
High-Fidelity Hydrologic Prediction Assessment Tools primarily
pre-conflict analysis of water and social vulnerability FOUO 3
Decision Support Tools primarily in- and post-conflict support for
water resources infrastructure decisions
Slide 4
FOUO 4 Water Security Baseline DoD spends billions of dollars
on capacity building both during and after conflict. These
investment decisions must be made in a way that is culturally
aware. Changes to water resources infrastructure can cause social
instability Drought may cause collapse of agriculture and water
supply systems Flooding causes social unrest and potential mass
migration The US Army provides disaster relief and must make plans
for staging and logistics

II: Hydro-SC Analyses for Infrastructure Investment The Army spends
billions of dollars on capacity building and infrastructure
improvements through both direct contracts and the Commanders
Emergency Response Program (CERP). Many of these projects are water
resources projects. Army engineers and planners must consider
potentially destabilizing effects of local changes in water
infrastructure and must weigh social and cultural factors in
choosing alternative designs Time scale: months to years Spatial
scale: 0.1 -100 km Hydrologic processes: Riverine/canal and
overland flow, soil moisture, groundwater, current meteorology
Socio-cultural features: Village-scale social and cultural
processes, local economic development & agriculture.
Slide 13
Commanders Emergency Response Program (CERP) Projects may
include: Agriculture/Irrigation projects to increase agricultural
production or cooperative agricultural programs, including
irrigation systems Reforestation (fruit and nut) producing trees,
timber production, and general reforestation Wind breaks for fields

Development Center Phase II: Hydro-SC for Infrastructure Investment
Large flows of aid will affect social stability, power
relationships, social and cultural norms. Immediate relief efforts
may undermine long-term development goals. It is crucial to
recognize the trade-offs and dynamics between goals of humanitarian
assistance, stabilization, and economic development. Consistent
assessments of local conditions should be done to remain aware of
changing conditions and minimize the possibility of being
blindsided by unintended consequences. [Gregory Johnson, Vijaya
Ramachandran, and Julie Walz. 2011. The Commanders Emergency
Response Program in Afghanistan: Refining U.S. Military
Capabilities in Stability and In-Conflict Development Activities.]
Water resources projects may be regarded as positive for
development, but as destabilizing (especially if implemented
without consideration of social and cultural context and
consequences) 14

the limits of current practices? M&S for Dismounted

Slide 20
What's new in your approach and why do you think it will be
successful? Who cares? M&S for Dismounted Operations
Slide 21
If you're successful, what difference will it make? This
opportunity will tie to ongoing work in sensor fusion. An enabling
capability for detecting the mobility environment during dismounted
operations is unsupervised perception. For new sensing technologies
to impact dismounted operations without increasing the soldiers
cognitive burden (Big Problem 2), sensors used to support
dismounted operations must present data to the end user at a highly
abstracted level commensurate with human perception. Sensor fusion
is therefore a critical component for this effort. This opportunity
will also impact future ERDC efforts in mobility by enhancing ERDCs
tactical mobility modeling capabilities from 2D wheeled and tracked
to 3D wheeled, tracked, biped, and quadruped platforms. M&S for
Dismounted Operations
Slide 22
Unclassified/FOUO November 25, 2011 Engineer Research and
Development Center What are the risks and payoffs? Risks The
primary risk for the proposed program is that sensor models and
dynamics in the CTB will not be flexible enough to evaluate
emerging technologies like exoskeleton platforms or novel sensor
types. The best solution to this potential risk is to adopt a
high-fidelity, physics-based modeling approach for platform
dynamics and sensor physics. This approach, while computationally
demanding, is more flexible for generic platforms and environments.
A secondary risk is that M&S tools developed for this program
will be impractical for use outside HPC environment. To overcome
this solution, the program should focus on HPC for high-fidelity
simulations, TTP development, and acquisition support but focus on
efficiency and interface with mobility and perception algorithms.

2. Soldiers in Small Units (squads/fire teams/crews) are
OVERBURDENED (physically and cognitively); this degrades
performance and may result in immediate, as well as, long term
consequences. 6. Operational MANEUVERABILITY (dismounted &
mounted) is difficult to achieve in complex, austere, and harsh
terrains and at high OPTEMPO. ERDC opportunity for participation in
Overburden (Problem 2) TEC-D (top 5) by offloading soldier load to
robotics. Unsupervised robots will reduce the soldiers physical
burden without increasing his cognitive burden. Opportunity for
ERDC to directly contribute to TEC-D by providing M&S for
development of leader-follower capability. Clear transition path
for ERDC developed algorithms to system with emerging requirements.
Additional opportunity to address Problem 6 by combining ERDC
mobility expertise with novel technologies. Opportunity for ERDC to
evaluate emerging sensors and platforms in M&S and develop TTP

Flood Assessment UROC reimbursables CREATE - Cultural Reasoning and
Ethnographic Analysis for the Tactical Environment
Equipment/FacilitiesTechnical Risks 2. What are the barriers to
solving this problem? Existing available demographic and social
data (including imagery) varies by country and requires manual
processing to integrate and generate compatible datasets.
Hydrologic models have not been integrated with social or cultural
models for either linear or interdependent forecasting. Land use
and macro-economic models require methods to forecast stakeholder
decision-making; current models assume U.S. decision-making
processes without consideration of social or cultural differences.
We are often unable to obtain hydrology results at the necessary
resolution in a timely manner. Data required for existing weather
& hydrology models exceed what is commonly available. 3. How
will you overcome those barriers? Apply cross-cultural water crises
and development expertise to develop non-U.S.-based land use and
macro-economic models. Create an intelligent automated process to
identify flow paths and add appropriate resolution in model
preprocessing. Develop large-scale hydrology models linked to AFWA
databases with the ability to apply varying levels of fidelity
based on the required level of resolution. Develop techniques to
couple hydrology, land use and macro-economic models for use in
decision, planning and assessment tools.

Development Center Joint Doctrine Applies Phasing to Campaign
Planning Phase 0 Shape Prevent/Prepare. Joint and multinational
operations are performed to dissuade or deter potential adversaries
and to assure or solidify relationships with friends and allies.
They are designed to assure success by shaping perceptions and
influencing the behavior of both adversaries and allies, improving
information exchange and intelligence sharing, and providing US
forces with peacetime and contingency access. Shape phase
activities must adapt to a particular theater environment and may
be executed in one theater in order to create effects and/or
achieve objectives in another. Current examples of Phase 0:
Djibouti, Somalia, Korea During Phase 0, Regional Combatant
Commanders use the military element of national power to assess and
monitor the area of operations (AO), engage as a partner with
Militaries of other nations, and assure capacity is there in case
of natural disaster or instability. Due to CENTCOMs operations,
there is much pent-up demand for assistance in most other Regional
Combatant Commands.
