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
