SYS Vision

• Net-Centric Warfare = Net-Centric Response

• Same Problem-Set:– Communication systems that can’t talk.– Applications that can’t interoperate.– Information that can’t be shared across systems

and organizations.– User interfaces that inhibit rather than help.

Strategy to Complete Mission

• Create unique value through the assembly & packaging of net-centric value components that extend from sensor to decision-maker and transform the safety, security and response mission capabilities of our customers.

• Value components developed internally or secured thru strategic alliances.

• Net-centric value components = Vigilys Product Offering

VIGILYS Value Proposition

• Monitor and deliver critical information to decision-makers both in the field and the command/dispatch center.

• Provide field personnel with reach-back collaborative capabilities.

• Help to coordinate first response actions.

• Support inter-agency, multi-jurisdictional, multi-echelon interoperation.

• Enhance resource allocation and tracking.

• Reduce response cycle-times.

• Reduce ‘time-to-SITSTAT’.

• Improve decisions made during critical early minutes by first on scene.

• Integrate responders into incident while enroute.

• Leverage existing and new investments.

• Create and automate new capabilities across formerly ‘stove-piped’ systems.

• Maintain freedom of choice w/no vendor lock-in.

ERMN Background

• DHS/ODP ITEP Grant-Funded Technology Project:– Competitive awarded jointly to CA-OES and Caltrans - (Ranked 2nd

out of 112 proposals submitted to DHS)– Address barriers to information interoperability among emergency

personnel, operation centers, multi-agencies and multi-jurisdictions– Address governance, culture and political challenges with data

sharing agreements– Provides a real-time standards-based interoperability &

orchestration platform– Promotes information sharing and display of data in a browser-

based geo-spatial common operating picture

• Current installations:– CA-OES EOC Sacramento– Caltrans Headquarters Sacramento– Livermore/Pleasanton Fire and Police Department

18

ERMN Objectives

• Improve speed and quality of response decisions.

• Provide access to critical data across all levels of response (field to national).

• Weave together safety, security & response capabilities to perform in concert.

• Facilitates creation of new safety, security and response capabilities.

• Support inter-agency, multi-jurisdictional, multi-echelon interoperation.

• Collaborative planning, coordination of actions & mutual aid processes.

• Improve resource utilization, tracking and management.

• Collaborative planning, analysis, decision-making and unified response

• Define metrics to improve process automation and response cycles

• Report/assess success of project for deployment across the state & country

Four-Spiral Southern CA Exercise Opportunity

• Trident Warrior 06 Navy June 2006

• Operation BayShield USCG July 2006

• Strong Angel ? August 2006

• Golden Guardian CA-OHS November 2006

• TW06 ‘leave-behind’ infrastructure to be incrementally built-out in support of successive exercises.

20

What is Trident Warrior?

• Experimentation & Innovation component of FORCEnet.

• FORCEnet is Navy foundation for netcentric warfare.

• Composed of many exercise initiatives.

• MDA/GWOT marquee focus.

• First Responder initiative in HSI Assessment Cell.

• TW06 to commence in June 2006.– Begins in San Diego Harbor and transits Pacific to Pearl.

21

TW06 ERMN Stakeholders

• DOD:– Naval Consultation & Guidance Shipping (NCAGS)– Maritime Intelligence Fusion Center (MIFC)– Commander Naval Region Southwest (JFMCC-Ashore)– BonHomme Richard-ESG (JFMCC-Afloat)– Predator Program– DTRA

• NORTHCOM

• US Coast Guard (SCC-J)

• DHS:– Homeland Security Ops Center (HSOC)– National Information Exchange Model (NIEM)– Disaster Management Interoperability Services (DMIS)

• Sandia National Labs

• Civilian:– CA-OES– CALTRANS– County of San Diego– City of San Diego (Police, Fire, Harbor Police)– City of Chula Vista (Police, Fire)

TW06 ERMN Goals

• Part of TW06 HSI Assessment cell.

• Explore organizational process edges, boundary conditions, overlaps, info/func/comms flows in MDA/GWOT.

• Automation support for mutual aid process.

• Demonstrate participants can interoperate in meaningful way.

• Initial ERMN instances and DMIS establish foundation for state-wide footprint.

• ERMN instances and DMIS become key infrastructure in support of MDA/GWOT

– DMIS link between municipalities, OES and military provides interoperability between HLD, HLS and First Responders.
