To build a truly resilient installation you must often look beyond the fence line. Bringing in community stakeholders is critical to the installation and building a culture of resiliency. This panel explores opportunities for new partnerships to work collaboratively to benefit both the installation and the community.
Energy fuels the mission and how we manage energy is more important than ever. The panel brings together experts from the Air Force, Veteran’s Administration, and Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) to highlight some recently completed projects and share some lessons learned and financing mechanisms to bring projects to fruition.
This panel brings together subject matter experts from the public- and private-sectors for an interactive discussion around mission assurance through resilient installation and energy microgrids.
In this high-anticipated session, you will learn the Air Force’s plans to turn Tyndall Air Force Base into the “Base of the Future” and a model for other military installations. This session is moderated by Tyndall’s Program Management Office and will feature a number of innovative technologies and solutions to elevate the mission at Tyndall.
Building the “Base of the Future” requires coordination between different federal agencies to discuss contract vehicles and funding requirements. The sessions offers an in-depth discussion around the financial tools and financing structures that the Air Force uses to ensure mission requirements.
