Abstract
Air Force Operational Energy (SAF/IEN), in partnership with Hacking for Defense (H4D), offered at the Naval Post Graduate School, is looking to address the challenges related to contested fuel logistics. The Air Force's current wargaming capability needs to be more agile to test at the scale needed to understand the impact of a fuel supply chain disruption. In order to explore this impact, the use of commercial off-the-shelf software will require training and education of both students and instructors on identifying alternate courses of action to mitigate the effects of degraded fuel logistics while improving the "lethality per gallon." This project will continue the efforts started in MN3307, Enterprise Innovation Design. The purpose of this project will be to simulate the impact of a fuel supply disruption along the colonial and plantation pipelines, which run from Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADD) 3 to PADD 1, and from the buckeye pipeline, which moves fuel from PADD 2 to PADD 1. Using the software platform Resilinc will provide a real-time and realistic impact of externalities on fuel flow from the point of origin through multiple intermediate points and onto selected Air Force bases in PADD 1.
