jbrenner assigns HOMEwork - Planning Atlantis
An assignment I give my students in almost every course I teach is what I call a questions and issues sheet. Students are asked to come up with a list of at least 25 questions and issues on a process design, product design, or failure analysis of my choosing. Students start by brainstorming either by themselves or in groups for 0.5 to 1 hour, and then categorize their questions and issues into the following categories: technical/engineering, economic, legal, regulatory, quality, environmental, safety, health, logistical, project management, and social impact. It is better for the questions and issues to be in the form of a question such that the question can be answered with a yes/no or a number. In that way, the exercise serves as a checklist to keep the project on track. Points are given for the number of questions, category coverage, identification of all of the key issues, depth of insight, creativity, and for thoroughness of the list. A critical issue not considered is often the project killer. Your assignment is to participate in this exercise for the development of a physical Atlantis.

Naval: Purchase of a DPDO USCG cutter larger than 185 ft or a mothballed USN destroyer should take care of any minor incursions. Also, the Navy would have to be ASW capable. It would probably have to be refitted after having been demilled. Purchase would have to be through several layers to obscure final destination.
Aerially, drones with air-to-air/air-to-ground capability should suffice for that defense. A small but very effective radar installation would be required. Can be had.
Mind set should be inflicting a Pyrrhic outcome on any invader. I know it's pessimistic, but sometimes that's what is required to fight the hardest.
