SEC. 2. DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM TO EVALUATE POTEN-
TIAL OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES AND COST 
SAVINGS 
OF 
USING 
INNOVATIVE 
TECH-
NOLOGIES ON MILITARY INSTALLATIONS. 
(a) DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM REQUIRED.—The 
Secretary of Defense shall establish a demonstration pro-
gram at a military installation in the United States, se-
lected as provided in subsection (c), to evaluate the feasi-
bility and benefits of employing innovative technologies, 
systems, and sensors to assist in the management of mili-
tary installations to enhance operations services, commu-
nications, safety, energy use, traffic management, air 
quality, and related operational and community services. 
(b) ELEMENTS
OF DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM.— 
Under the demonstration program, the Secretary shall 
evaluate innovative technologies, systems, and sensors— 
(1) to identify systems and service operations of 
a military installation that can be monitored and 
managed remotely using sensors or software; 
(2) to promote the quality and performance of 
operations at a military installation by improved sys-
tems and services performance to manage installa-
tion safety and security vehicles, improve installation 
traffic flows, and establish maintenance schedules 
that maximize the expected life of an item and elimi-
nate costly break-fix responses;

(3) to assist installation commanders and other 
installation managers in using technologies that are 
readily available to improve, enhance, and modernize 
methods and technologies to manage installations; 
and 
(4) to develop a framework and model plan to 
expand the use of innovative technologies to other 
military installations that results in readiness oper-
ational improvements and identifiable cost savings to 
the Department of Defense. 
(c) MINIMUM CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF MILI-
TARY INSTALLATION.—In an effort to determine the ca-
pacity and capability of using innovative technologies, sys-
tems, and sensors at military installations, the Secretary 
of Defense shall select as the site of the demonstration 
program a military installation that— 
(1) has a combined day-time, on-site population 
(including dependents and civilian personnel) of at 
least 65,000 persons; 
(2) provides both ground training and expedi-
tionary aviation training activities; and 
(3) is located within 75 miles of a military com-
mand headquarters focused on the use of advanced 
technology.

(d) COVERED SYSTEMS.—The military installation 
operations to be evaluated under the demonstration pro-
gram shall include— 
(1) emergency response; 
(2) building energy use; 
(3) traffic control; 
(4) waste management; 
(5) street lighting and other security lighting; 
(6) air quality monitoring; 
(7) perimeter security integrity and access con-
trol; 
(8) maintenance of family recreational facilities; 
(9) aviation operations, including the scheduling 
of training operations consistent with weather mini-
mums; and 
(10) managing scheduled maintenance of instal-
lation infrastructure and mechanical systems. 
(e) EVALUATION CRITERIA.—The use of innovative 
technologies, systems, and sensors to manage military in-
stallation operations described in subsection (d) shall be 
evaluated on the basis of their— 
(1) operational benefits and efficiencies over 
current methods of management; 
(2) cost savings; 
(3) enhancement of safety;

(4) enhancement of service life; 
(5) energy savings; and 
(6) enhancements to training, readiness, and 
morale. 
(f) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There is 
authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of Defense 
to carry out the demonstration program—
