• Develop analytical models to evaluate movements across air, surface, rail, maritime, and multimodal transportation networks.
• Conduct network optimization, simulation, scenario analysis, and what-if assessments.
• Evaluate the ability of the transportation network to deliver required supplies within operational timelines.
• Identify bottlenecks, capacity limitations, vulnerabilities, and single points of failure.
• Analyze distribution under contested and degraded operating conditions.
• Evaluate the effects of transportation disruption, infrastructure loss, port denial, route disruption, and constrained transportation capacity.
• Develop alternative courses of action to improve distribution resiliency.
• Integrate data from logistics, transportation, and operational systems.
• Identify data quality issues and develop decision-quality analytical data sets.
