2nc Military Info Shared with Public / Other AgenciesNaval Research Laboratory shares exploration research and data with civilian agenciesDefense Systems Staff ’14 (3/5/14, Defense Systems --- Defense systems is a publication designed to provide information to the defense IT community, “Navy opens its Global Ocean Forecast System to the public”, http://defensesystems.com/articles/2014/03/05/navy-noaa-global-ocean-forecasting.aspx) The Navy’s detailed global environmental ocean forecasting will soon be available to the public via the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Naval Research Laboratory has agreed with NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Prediction to let NCEP use the Global Ocean Forecast System, which combines satellite and in situ monitoring with meteorology, oceanography and geospatial services in making forecasts. "Development of an advanced global ocean prediction system has been a long-term Navy interest," Dr. Gregg Jacobs, head of NRL’s Ocean Dynamics and Prediction Branch, said in an announcement. "This use of Navy-developed systems for global ocean forecasting represents dual-use technology that will benefit civilian interests and is an excellent example of the cutting edge research that is enabled through Navy-sponsored investments." The system was developed by a collaboration of the Office of Naval Research, NRL research and development, and the Oceanographer of the Navy. It has three main components, Jacobs said: Satellite observations that precisely measure sea surface height and temperature and ice concentration, combined with in situ observations from public sources and Navy ships. Numerical models of ocean physics and numerical methods of representing those physics. Technology that can correct the numerical models through data assimilation. The Navy uses the system for tasks ranging from search and rescue and tracking mines to placing sonar arrays and estimating acoustic propagation. NCEP already provides a variety of forecasting services, including those for storms, aviation conditions and ocean conditions, using data from satellites and such sources as NOAA buoys around the U.S. coast. Using the Navy’s system will give it a more dynamic model for making ocean forecasts. Navy Created GIS mapping system which can be shared with the publicGeospatial World, 13 (2/1/2013, “‘US Navy should develop public GIS map of the oceans’” http://www.geospatialworld.net/News/View.aspx?ID=26301_Article) US: The US Navy can offer a Google-type information service to the world by organising its diverse data in a form that would serve individuals, businesses and people. This would place the Navy in the realm of GIS providers whose services are sweeping the globe, said John Smart, president of the Acceleration Studies Foundation.¶ Speaking at the AFCEA/USNI West 2013 in San Diego, Smart suggested that the Navy could become an agent of change by organising data collected by its numerous sensor systems and making it available to the public at large.¶ The service would be built around the concept of open, safe, lawful and sustainable seas for all people, Smart said. The Navy would create a public GIS map of the oceans and populate it with vital information—all unclassified—that would be useful for anyone entering the maritime environment.¶ This product would comprise grid maps bearing information fed by Navy-run sensors. It would be improved as new means of collecting data generated more expansive information. The Navy would design the information architecture for the system and maintain it as a global public service. - See more at: http://www.geospatialworld.net/News/View.aspx?ID=26301_Article#sthash.yOUHvd8A.dpuf Naval Research Lab forecasting model adopted by NOAAHoffman, 14 (3/5/2014, Mary-Louise, “Gregg Jacobs: Naval Research Lab Builds Ocean Weather Monitoring Tech for NOAA,” http://www.executivegov.com/2014/03/gregg-jacobs-naval-research-lab-builds-ocean-weather-monitoring-tech-for-noaa/) The National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration will adopt a weather forecasting model developed by the Naval Research Laboratory to deliver sea-based environmental data for public use.¶ ¶ NRL built the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model system to provide seven-day forecasts everyday throughout the year as part of a national oceanographic partnership initiative, NRL said Wednesday.¶ ¶ “Development of an advanced global ocean prediction system has been a long-term Navy interest,” said Gregg Jacobs, head of NRL’s ocean dynamics and prediction branch.¶ ¶ “This use of Navy developed systems for global ocean forecasting represents dual use technology that will benefit civilian interests and is an excellent example of the cutting edge research that is enabled through Navy sponsored investments,” Jacobs added.¶ ¶ NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Prediction will implement the NRL-made platform to help civilian organizations manage at-sea operations, avoid hazards and respond to emergencies, NRL says.¶ ¶ The center also works to provide satellite-based observations around U.S. coasts to the public, according to the lab. 2nc AT: Public-Private Partnership KeyThe military can do public-private partnershipsArey 11, Colonel Howard “Scot” Arey is an Army officer who knows that renewable energy is essential for the United States’ energy security. A graduate of West Point, East Carolina University, and the U.S. Army War College, he is preparing to settle in Central Texas after military retirement and be a part of the Texas solar industry, The Military Commitment to Renewable Energy, http://www.txses.org/solar/content/military-commitment-renewable-energy MWimsatt ***Note: this article does not list a date but references a 2011 document In the next article, we’ll look at two installations in Texas that are establishing industry partnerships and innovation. Fort Bliss in El Paso is one of the Army’s “Net Zero” posts with a goal of net zero status in energy, water, and waste by 2020 (not a typo…that’s eight years from now!) With over $1.5 billion of investment potential in less than a decade, that’s a real commitment which Texas renewable industries must compete for. Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene has already been commended for getting 100% of its electricity from renewable wind generation. It is continuing to secure its energy future with additional net zero initiatives that will be sure to solidify its position as one of the Air Force’s “greenest” bases. These are just two of many renewable initiatives that are happening in Texas, but there is more - renovating barracks and associated inefficient energy plants at Fort Hood, building LEED-rated hospitals in San Antonio, installing solar power on National Guard buildings in Austin - the list goes on and on. The future isn’t tomorrow, it’s happening right now in the U.S. military.
