Examples of Funded Projects
Fiscal Year 2018 FEMA missions to execute aerial assessment/imagery support, light transportation/cargo areas before and after weather events (hurricanes/floods/tornados & wildfires). FEMA sends the USAF-CAP Operations desk located within the 601 Air Operations Center a Mission Assignment, which includes the funding for that mission. Total amount for this effort in FY18 was $638,317.76.
Fiscal Year 2023 1) 4FW (Seymour Johnson AFB) Low Level surveys ($23K): The purpose is to comply with the AFI 13-201, Air Force Airspace Management, requirement to conduct flight evaluations of all Military Training Routes for which the unit is the designated scheduling activity. The routes should be surveyed annually to document uncharted obstacles, environmentally sensitive areas and other potential safety hazards. 2) USACE Willamette Valley Reservoir Assessment ($51.6K): The purpose of this mission is to provide mission funding for aerial surveyance photography of several reservoirs within the Willamette River watershed. This aerial imagery will be used to inform comparisons of geomorphic change within the WVP through time. These data will facilitate interpretation of how dam construction and operation have affected the geomorphology of the valley and how these changes have affected biological habitats and cultural sites within the valley. This research can be used to identify and protect resources from further impacts. This collection of imagery is needed to support this multidisciplinary study. CAP/AFAUX will provide aerial reconnaissance and data collection support for CENWP to collect aerial images to assess geomorphological erosional and depositional process at 11 Willamette Valley Project Reservoirs. Images will be obtained using the Waldo Air Ultra-50 imaging system to be provided by CAP. Other data collection equipment (provided by USACE) may also be used.
