CHL delivers analytic tools and predictive capabilities in direct support of the USACE Civil Works Navigation mission as well as for military logistic operations around the world. Navigation research and development at CHL applies the Ship Simulator, an immersive technology for evaluating the impacts to navigability of proposed design changes to channels, anchorages, and berthing terminals. CHL combines advanced data analytics derived from integration of large datasets from waterborne cargo records, hydrographic surveys, marine vessel position reports, and dredging vessel diagnostics to determine critical needs within the vast USACE Navigation portfolio of projects and to direct limited operations and maintenence resources accordingly. The USACE spends in excess of $1B annually on maintenance dredging of navigation channels, and CHL directly supports this mission with research and development focused on dredging operations performance monitoring, dredged material management best practices, and optimization strategies for dredge project budgeting and scheduling. CHL is modernizing the real-time flow of relevant information to marine operators througout the national waterway network for safer and more efficient marine transportation. CHL also develops capabilities to inform both strategic and tactical decision making for military transport and force projection, with emphasis on evaluations of austere port environments throughout the globe for logistics over the shore and route planning for deployments and related activities of navigation channels, and CHL directly supports this mission with research and development focused on dredging operations performance monitoring, dredged material management best practices, and optimization strategies for dredge project budgeting and scheduling.
