Navy Shore Infrastructure Investment Support

/analyses/2008/navy-shore-infrastructure-investment-support

This paper describes the development process that CNA used to create a new methodology for the Navy to assess shore infrastructure readiness for support tasking, and it documents the design concepts for a shore facilities investment model. This model was developed as a programming tool for OPNAV N46 staff to adjust investment project profiles and funding levels to achieve desired performance output levels at the end of the current FYDP. The methodology involved creating measures of merit to quantify the current and future performance levels and a functional segmentation of the infrastructure to provide a greater understanding of shore support capabilities and shortfalls. The new technique required a method for indexing the measures of merit together in a consistent manner to provide the Navy with an ongoing readiness assessment number. It also required the creation of a baseline year infrastructure inventory assessment to use as the starting point for analyzing future year impact of current shore investment funding profiles. We developed a process to quantify the projected impact of proposed military construction and special projects upon the measures of merit.
