Installations of the Future Providing Readiness & Resilience Across the Enterprise VISION: Installations – the Army's initial maneuver platforms – will build readiness, enhance resilience, protect and project forces, through innovation, technology, and partnerships as part of a complex, multi-domain battlespace. Mr. Richard Kidd Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Strategic Integration 1
Time to Rethink Installations New Warfighting Concept: Inputs Outcomes Emerging Threats: • Operational environment Initial Maneuver Platforms: trends Protect, Project & Sustain GAPS • Reduced funding Combat Power, Mission • Cyber and insider Command & Cyber threats • UAV / drones • Energy disruptions • Social media influences Warfighter Readiness: • Disrupted pre-deployment / Cognitive Fitness (Brain) Gyms, deployment Synthetic Training/Simulations, • Installations constantly under attack. Professional Athletic Facilities Tech Opportunities: • Artificial Intelligence Resilience: • Big data Able to maintain key systems • Internet of Things (energy, water, communications) • Sensors • Robotics under adversity, attack • Autonomous vehicles • Energy independence & security Efficiencies Cost Effective: • Benchmarking with smart cities. “Smart” Installation Management and Service SENSORS Delivery with IoT, AI, Robotics 2
The Battlefield Framework Has Changed Multi-Domain Battle Framework Strategic Operational Support Close Area Deep Maneuver Deep Fires Area • Fusion of Intelligence Phases Support Area Support Area Area Area • Training of the Force We are V AirLand Battle • Mobilization IV required to do New New Rear Close Deep III • Deployment more from the Tactical (Space, Cyberspace, EW, Information) II Operational (Space, Cyberspace, EW, Information) installation I Strategic (Space, Cyberspace, EW, Information) 0 Strategic Support Area: • The area of cross-COCOM coordination, strategic lines of communication, and the U.S. homeland. • Forces operating in this area are never out of contact, subject to attacks (lethal/non-lethal) .... • Many essential friendly cyber, space, mission command, and sustainment capabilities are in the Strategic Support Area. “Multi-Domain Battle: Evolution of Combined Arms for the 21st Century,” 3 TRADOC, Oct. 2017
The Threats Have Changed • Information confrontation/warfare means installations are consistently under attack • Operations can occur prior to major combat and trans-regionally …making installations more vulnerable than in the past • Social media and big data create installation vulnerabilities as simple aggregation and activity monitoring can indicate heightened movement on installations • Antiquated / at risk infrastructure undermines operational ability to act when utilities or command and control networks are disrupted by environmental or purposeful actions • The Department is not innovating quickly enough to stay ahead of adversary operational concepts, commercial advances, technological developments, and illicit technology transfer (NDS 2018).

During conflict, attacks against our critical defense, government, and economic infrastructure must be anticipated.” NDS 2018 4
The Promise of New Technology “… a smart base is the integration of technological and process innovations that improve the The Army can apply performance, efficiency, and “smart city” convenience of the managed technologies and assets and services on a practices to create military installation. In other “smart installations,” words, where [other bases] improving the way we have employed smart build and monitor technologies and practices individual and unit for energy, in mobility, and readiness. construction initiatives, a smart base integrates all of these things (and more) to provide a comprehensive set of solutions for the challenges associated with operating installations .” “Byting the Bullet: Now is the time for smart military bases,” Deloitte Center for Government Insights, 2017 5
Technology is the Backbone to Change “New commercial technology will change society, and ultimately, the character of war.” – NDS, 2018 to drive Massed sensors combined with to drive informed produce “big data” “deep analytics” artificial intelligence decisions Current Situation Historic & Cost Performance Populations & Usage Predictions Example: Frictionless Entry • AI cameras with graphics processing capability apply deep-learning insights to entry streams • Sensors monitor physical (vehicle count, weight) and environmental conditions for CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and high-yield Explosives) • Real-time data is cross-referenced with vehicular and personal history / permissions / issues • Meeting risk threshold, entry is granted. Above threshold or anomaly alerts responders Result: Safety, Flow, Awareness, Insight, and Return on Investment 6
