Project 046

Providing Research and End-user Products to Accelerate Readiness and Environmental Security (PREPARES)

—FY2027 request
FY2025 actual$3.8M
FY2026 enacted$0.0M
FY2027 request—

This program leveraged and integrated expertise from operational end users, physical climate scientists and models, tools, and datasets, and social scientists with deep understanding of designated regional and local communities to anticipate and respond more quickly and precisely to climate and environmental change risks and opportunities. The program explored how specific environmental and social indicators might inform strategic reviews to adapt warfighter training and planning in anticipation of climate global trends. The research program built upon the products of the Minerva Research Initiative with a focus on end-user defined mission, geographic, and timescale priorities to forecast local and regional climate and environmental change effects, assess and predict likely societal impacts and responses, and ultimately provide operations planners technically-relevant and operationally precise scenarios to incorporate into Contingency Plans (CONPLANs) and Operational Plans (OPLANs) and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) requirements related to climate change.

Program detail

Mission & acquisition strategy

This program supports the Department's initiative to Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage. This program funds Department of War (DoW) physical climate and social science applied research. Climate and environmental change will impact the full range of U.S. military operating environments. DoW capabilities, until recently, have been aligned toward the historical environmental and geopolitical record; failure to anticipate and plan for the security effects of climate and environmental change holds significant potential to not only degrade DoW readiness and effectiveness but also compound the frequency and scope of novel geostrategic risks and surprises.
