2005 SRI International SRI International Company Proprietary Application of Technology to Create an Integrated, Multidisciplinary Approach to Safe and Secure Ports Presented to: 10 th Annual Harbor Safety Committee Conference May 12-14, 2008
2005 SRI International SRI International Company Proprietary 2 Agenda Definition of Maritime Domain (MDA) Awareness MDA Objectives and Approach Policy, Needs, Risk and the Security System Sharing Information The Goal
2005 SRI International SRI International Company Proprietary 3 What is Maritime Domain Awareness? Maritime Intelligence + Maritime Situational Awareness = Maritime Domain Awareness An Operations Support System A system providing situation awareness and assessment information to supplement capabilities of existing stakeholder operations in a port or harbor and its associated maritime domain.
2005 SRI International SRI International Company Proprietary 4 Objectives Comprehensive real-time situational awareness of dynamic conditions Plug n Play architecture that integrates best of breed components Provide actionable information to a broad range of stakeholders to facilitate response to conditions threatening port and associated maritime domain area security Homeland security, military, civil government, and commercial operators Main goal is to prevent a mass casualty event and economic disruptions Evolving system capabilities will address most severe threats and vulnerabilities first Benchmarking Vertical Solutions
2005 SRI International SRI International Company Proprietary 5 Comprehensive Approach Air Land Sea (Surface & subsurface) Sensors Data systems Intelligence
2005 SRI International SRI International Company Proprietary Policy Alignment National Security Strategy of the U.S. National Military Strategy of the U.S. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction National Military Strategic Plan for the War on Terrorism National Drug Control Strategy National Strategy for Homeland Security Securing Our Homeland: DHS Strategic Plan National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace National Strategy for the Physical Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Key Assets
2005 SRI International SRI International Company Proprietary 7 Needs Analysis Recognized resource limitations Working with stakeholders to identify Threats Vulnerabilities Using risk prioritization Identify resources that maximize return on investment Implement and validate efficacy of systems Identify Threats and Vulnerabilities Determine Scenarios Determine highest risk scenario Evaluate Impact Identify MDA capabilities to address scenarios Employ capability in MDAS test bed Implement capability at operational unit Risk assessment and operational priorities of responsible organizations will guide identification and ranking of needed system capabilities.
