Resilient Infrastructure Simulation Environment (R.I.S.E.)

RISE is a real-time simulation and training environment that enables planners and operators to test network design configurations and operating strategies to improve system resilience to environmental stressors, cyberattacks, and kinetic attacks.

Infrastructure Planning

City planners and utilities use RISE to evaluate how extreme events and attacks affect infrastructure. The information helps plan more reliable and resilient systems for municipal, utility, island, and defense applications.

• Develop strategies for response to internal and external stressors to infrastructure.
• Determine weaknesses in infrastructure and likelihood of faults and cascading failures.
• Evaluate and compare costs and benefits of system expansion, maintenance, and replacement.

Real-time Operations

Power and water system operators use RISE for threat detection, adaptation, and response to reduce the incidence of failures and improve recovery time.

• Real-time fault simulations allow operators to identify threats and test response strategies.
• Real and realistic scenarios are repeatable for personnel training and continued education.
• Dynamic events allow scenarios to expand in severity and impact, requiring the trainee to adapt and learn.
