The Problem This Solution Solves
Extreme weather events have caused billions of dollars of damage to DoD bases in recent years, including $1 billion to rebuild Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska after historic floods, and $5 billion to rebuild Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida after Hurricane Michael.
DoD requires new technology to improve operational forecasting and better prepare for the local and regional impacts of extreme weather on DoD installations.
The Solution
By combining existing, high-quality datasets and machine learning-based forecasting models with various improvements (e.g., downscaling techniques), ClimateAi's platform improves the resilience of DoD facilities by providing more detailed, tailored weather forecasts and forecast reports for specific locations of interest. Specific capabilities include a hurricane model that predicts tropical cyclone activity and assesses seasonal landfall risks, as well as a flood hazard tool that provides near-real-time flood risk and long-term flood hazard projections.
