POLL QUESTION
STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF CONTROL SYSTEMS
Chief of Engineers identified as the OPR responsible to develop a COMPREHENSIVE, INTEGRATED PROGRAM-MANAGED STRUCTURE for the ARMY’S CONTROL SYSTEMS
Director, Army Staff Task to the Chief of Engineers
Control systems provide real-time,
automated monitoring, management, and
control of Army assets – both on and off
Army installations and centers -- critical to
DoD readiness and operations.
Functional, cyber-hardened building, utility
management, security, fire and life safety,
medical, weapon, and manufacturing control
systems are key to Army strategic
readiness.
Army Control Systems
WEAPONS FACILITY-RELATED INDUSTRIAL BASE MEDICAL CIVIL WORKS
CONTROL SYSTEMS ACROSS THE ARMY – ~SIX TYPES:
THE ARMY MODERNIZATION STRATEGYInfrastructure risk increases if the Army does not modernize facilitiesat pace with new weapons systems and formations. These transitionscould stress installations with unplanned infrastructure requirements,which could put fielding timelines at risk. Modernized facilities providethe supporting infrastructure to fully capitalize on new technologies.
Strategic Links
Resilient Army Control Systems protect
the force and enable Army missions in
all threat and hazard environments,
including power projection platforms,
ranges, research, logistics, Soldier
support, manufacturing, Quality of Life
and medical infrastructure, electric
power, and dams.
Protection Nexus THE ARMY PEOPLE STRATEGYArmy readiness, modernization, and reform efforts are founded onpeople. With the right people, in the right place, at the right time, ourArmy will successfully deploy, fight, and win in All Domains. It is ourpeople who provide us with an enduring advantage to remain theworld’s most ready, lethal, and capable land combat force.
ARMY INSTALLATIONS STRATEGYWe all must recognize that installations are our initial platforms for maneuver, and sustainment, providing critical capabilities essential to the Army’s ability to “Deploy, Fight and Win our nation’s wars…” We synchronize operations and protection measures across all domains from our installations. The Army builds readiness, generates combat power, and provides quality of life services for the Total Army Community on its installations. They also enable critical research, maintenance, and production activities essential for Army Modernization and Strategic Sustainment.

VEGETATIVE ASSESSMENTS ON TRAINING LANDS
• Military vehicle training degrades vegetation
• Resulting impacts lead to soil erodibility
• We can assess vegetation degradation by using multispectral sensors to identify and locate areas that need remediation
• Volumetric calculations can identify costs for material (seed)23
USES FOR INSTALLATIONS
• Hot Spot Detection
• Water main leaks
• Inspection
• Steam line leaks• Road Surface

BUILDING STRONG®
▪ USACE established the Headquarters Aviation Program that
manages Standards, Training, Oversight, Compliance with DoD
policy, System Safety, and Cyber Threat Requirements.
▪ Cutting red tape is one of their primary missions
▪ HQ Aviation has a waiver in place
▪ It now takes about hours/day vs. unknown (could be several months)
to get a mission plan approved.
▪ Now we can fly on DoD installations, Restricted Airspace and
National Airspace.
THE UAS PROGRAM HAS MATURED
