Understanding the Challenge
The civil public safety interoperability
environment

• Governance MOAs and funding by consensus and
  committee
• Years of focused leadership to build regional
  M/A interoperability
• SOPs Each discipline has established
  procedures
• Communication is unclassified, largely
  unencrypted
• Technology Voice (Land Mobile Radio)
  operability is the first priority
• Wireless systems (voice data) will be
  spectrum limited during a large disaster
• Connectivity is dependent on local
  infrastructure investment
• Training Exercise budgets are limited at all
  levels (competitive)
• Usage If its not used everyday it wont get
  used in an emergency

Every region has its own combination of
challenges

• Homeland Security Science Technology Testbed
• Sensor Management System / Joint Perimeter
  Surveillance Command Control

At any given time a disaster will require first
responders from multiple disciplines to
interoperate with their individual agency
technologies and procedures in a
multi-jurisdiction region

Current ProjectsSMS / JPSC2
The SMS/JPSC2 system is a flexible and extensible
integrated security system providing complete
sensor Command and Control (C2) including
surveillance and perimeter security through
numerous sensors including marine ground RADAR
and EO/IR cameras. The system is capable of
surveying, detecting, tracking and archiving
Items of Interest (IOI) and intrusions which can
then be provided via auto-alerts to the Security
Watch Officer.

• Sensor Management Systems (SMS) and Joint
  Perimeter Surveillance Command and Control
  (JPSC2) is installed at the locations
• Navy Region Southwest
• San Diego Metro
• NAS Lemoore
• NPS Monterey
• NWS Seal Beach
• US Navy / Coast Guard SCC-J
• Seattle Area of Responsibility (AOR)
• Jacksonville AOR
• San Diego AOR

• Near future installations
• New York City
• Port of Long Beach / L.A.
• Multi-level security GOTS development
• Visual Recognition Classification capabilities

• Joint Perimeter Surveillance Command and Control
  (JPSC2) will provide agents and officers in the
  field
• Ability to alert agents and officers of
  suspected illegal traffic using command and
  control software and supporting radar and
  cameras.
• Reduced time to classify a target by
  automatically slewing cameras to target
• Ability to create alarm or exclusion zones within
  the AOR
• Reduced response time of reactive forces by
  providing mobile COP display on patrol vehicles,
  vessels, and aircraft
• Increased interdiction rate by reducing response
  time to INTEL and citizen call in alerts
• Perform historical playback to support legal
  proceedings
• Sharing of information through the distribution
  of COP displays to regional stakeholders

A Couple of Promising Initiatives

• Incident Resource Tracking Tool (IRTT), Secure
  Wireless Testbed, SMS/JPSC2
• Define/Implement funding mechanism to assist
  State/Local 1st Responders directly
• Build upon relationship with DHS ST to provide
  operational prototypes that can be tested in the
  San Diego Region
• Utilize 1st Responder collaboration efforts
  currently in place to get the 1st Responders
  directly involved with building new technologies
