Appropriation Overview A. Mission Statement for Research, Development, Acquisitions, and Operations: The mission of DHS S&T is to strengthen America’s security and resiliency by providing knowledge products and innovative technology solutions for the Homeland Security Enterprise. Congress created the S&T Directorate under the Homeland Security Act of 2002, to among other things “[conduct] basic and applied research, development, demonstration, testing, and evaluation activities relevant to any or all elements of the Department.”1 S&T also has a statutory responsibility for establishing a system for transferring homeland security developments or technologies to Federal, State, local governments, and private sector entities. In the past decade, S&T has undergone many changes and continues to evolve. The extraordinary breadth and diversity of DHS’s missions requires S&T to address a wide range of programs including DHS Components’ near-term needs for new operational capabilities and improved operational effectiveness, efficiency, and safety. S&T also has responsibilities related to understanding and creating solutions to biological and chemical threats, and to conducting the research and development (R&D) required to meet homeland cybersecurity needs. While DHS S&T’s work is often identified with technology development, equally important are the Directorate’s contributions to homeland security in the form of analyses or “knowledge products.” These include analyses of alternative technology options; assessments of complex issues such as the relative risk of different chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats; operational testing and evaluation of technologies proposed for acquisition; detailed technical characterization of potential biological threat organisms to support both human and agricultural biodefense; and the creation of consensus standards that enable cost-effective progress across many fields. S&T also manages five national laboratories that provide unique homeland and national security capabilities and has direct access to the Department of Energy’s extensive national laboratory system. In addition, the Directorate’s capacity to engage R&D activities worldwide is greatly augmented by S&T’s nine university-based Centers of Excellence (COEs) and 13 bilateral international agreements. In order to meet the broad scope of our mission, S&T has built a highly trained and technically- proficient staff that is DHS’s core source of science, engineering, and analytical expertise. Using our staff and budget for maximal impact, we have focused our energies on efforts that have a direct and demonstrable link to improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of DHS’s operational missions and enhancing the safety, interoperability, and communications capabilities of the first responder community. S&T’s contributions to the Department and the Homeland Security Enterprise (HSE) fall into four general categories: New capabilities and knowledge products – S&T creates new technological capabilities that address DHS operational needs or are necessary to address evolving homeland security threats. Process enhancements and efficiencies – S&T conducts systems-based analysis to provide streamlined, resource-saving process improvements to existing operations. 1 Sec. 302(4) of Public Law 107-296 (codified at 6 U.S.C. § 182(4)). 1 Acquisition support – The Department achieves more effective and efficient operations and avoids costly acquisition failures and delays by leveraging S&T’s technical expertise to improve project management, operational analysis, and acquisition management. Understanding of homeland security risks and opportunities – S&T’s relationships across DHS and the HSE contribute to strategic understanding of existing and emerging threats as well as opportunities for collaboration across departmental, interagency, and state/local boundaries. B. Budget Activities: The Directorate has four RDT&E program, project, and activities (PPA), and various thrust areas, each of which has an important role in implementing research and development activities. These four PPAs are: Acquisition and Operations Support; Laboratory Facilities; Research, Development, and Innovation; and University Programs. Acquisition and Operations Support (AOS) AOS provides expert assistance to entities across the homeland security enterprise (HSE) to ensure that the transition, acquisition, and deployment of technologies, information, and procedures improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the operational capabilities across the HSE mission. The five thrust areas of Acquisition and Operations Support are: Operations Research and Analysis; Safety Act; Standards; Technology Transition Support; and Testing and Evaluation. Laboratory Facilities The Office of National Laboratories (ONL) manages the Laboratory Facilities Programs. ONL provides the Nation with a coordinated, enduring core of productive science, technology and engineering laboratories, organizations and institutions, which can provide the knowledge and technology required to secure our homeland. ONL executes two thrust areas: Construction and Lab Operations. Research, Development, and Innovation (RD&I) RD&I provides state-of-the-art technology and/or solutions to meet the needs of the operational components of the Department and the first responder community. It includes customer-focused and output-oriented RDT&E programs that balance risk, cost, impact, and time to delivery. RD&I includes: APEX; Border Security; CBE Defense; Counter Terrorist; Cyber Security/Information Analytics; and First Responder/Disaster Resilience. University Programs University Programs supports critical homeland security-related research and education at U.S. colleges and universities to address high-priority DHS-related issues and to enhance homeland security capabilities over the long term. University Programs includes Centers of Excellence and Minority Serving Institutions. C. Budget Request Summary: The S&T Directorate requests 130 positions, 130 FTE, and $941,671,000 for RDA&O in FY 2015, a decrease of $149,541,000 from FY 2014. The FY 2015 funding reflects a decrease in the CBE Defense, Counter Terrorist, Cyber Security/Information Analytics, and First Responder/Disaster Resilience RDT&E thrust areas. It also includes an increase of $0.191 million for a one-percent Federal pay raise. 2 II.

    Benson et al. Adaptive Development for Crisis Response Management Systems Adaptive Development of a Common Operating Environment for Crisis Response and Management Alena L. Benson Keith Biggers University of Washington Texas A&M University [email protected] [email protected] Jim Wall Mark P. Haselkorn Texas A&M University University of Washington [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Complex information and communication systems present a special challenge to system designers because these are generally deployed as large, distributed systems with diverse user groups. Crisis response and management organizations in particular expect systems to be interoperable, resilient, flexible and provide lasting benefit. Currently, systems such as Virtual USA (Department of Homeland Security) and WatchKeeper (United States Coast Guard) seek to create common situational awareness for all participating agencies in security and incident response operations. We propose adaptive development as a system development model to build upon the ideas of systems such as Virtual USA and WatchKeeper in order to create sustainable and adaptable systems. Adaptive development supports ongoing improvement through user-driven design and modification in the target environment. An internet-based dashboard demonstrated during a United States Coast Guard Sector Seattle incident response exercise serves as an emergent case study for the adaptive model. Keywords Common Operating Environment, Situational Awareness, Collaborative Decision Making, Service-Oriented Architecture, Precision Information Environments, System Development. INTRODUCTION Information and communication systems have become indispensable to government and non-government crisis response and management (CRM) organizations. Unambiguous and timely sharing of information have become key areas for improvement for CRM (Harrald & Jefferson, 2007). In particular, CRM organizations hope to create a common operating environment (COE) to aid multiple agencies and units in situational awareness and collaborative decision making.

  • Virtual USA Brochure
    TM Virtual USA In April 2010, the largest accidental marine oil spill in U.S. history struck the U.S. Gulf Coast, releasing 53,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico. The oil traveled hundreds of miles into estuaries and onto beaches, impacting multiple states along the Gulf Coast – requiring a coordinated response among neighboring states, as well as Federal and private sector partners. Emergency management agencies were initially able to exchange only static information via email, but quickly realized that a more efficient response would require the ability to actively share real-time information. To meet this need, several Gulf States called upon the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) for early activation of the Virtual USA (vUSA) information-sharing prototype solution, which was under development at the time. As a result of the vUSA Prototype’s deployment, the Florida Civil Air Patrol was able to share real-time information on oil sightings Through Virtual USA, Virtual Louisiana shares data with state, with the Florida Emergency Operations Center and the Unified Federal, and private partners in other jurisdictions for use in response Command in Mobile, Alabama — enabling both states to deploy to the Deep Horizon oil spill. response teams to specific locations, saving time and money, and maximizing the effectiveness of the cleanup effort. Similarly, in Louisiana, information gathered during flights over the Gulf Coast and shared with partners through vUSA allowed agencies to better target operational response and cleanup teams. vUSA further improved coordination with the private sector during oil spill response efforts.

  • The Impact of Robots on Select Military Operations
    The Impact of Robots on Select Military Operations An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Daniel Duffty, Class of 2010 __________________________ Audra Sosny, Class of 2010 __________________________ Date: May 5, 2009 Approved: Professor David Brown, IQP Advisor Abstract The project focused on the current and predicted impact of robots on surveillance, reconnaissance, automated defense, and bomb disposal operations. It investigated existing products and technologies to create a representation of society’s present opinions. The project considered technological, legal, and ethical concerns affecting the advancement of military robotics. It anticipates future developments by analyzing opinions from interviews and data from a survey. The project concluded that society endorses the evolution of robotics not involving lethal force that benefits the military. ii Executive Summary This project, entitled The Impact of Robots on Select Military Operations, studies the current and predicted impact of robots on surveillance, reconnaissance, automated defense, and bomb disposal operations. The project group, Daniel Duffty and Audra Sosny, investigated what robotic technologies are available, how the military presently uses robots, what society thinks about military robots, and what the future of military robots may hold. The use of robotics throughout all facets of society is rapidly increasing. As an emerging field with few developmental restrictions, society’s reaction to and support of robotics varies greatly. The problem is that society supports the military using robots for some purposes, but not all. Another problem is that society supports robots with certain capabilities, but not all.

  • TR-114 Fire Department Response to Biological Threat at B'nai B'rith
    U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series Fire Department Response to Biological Threat at B’nai B’rith Headquarters Washington, DC USFA-TR-114/April 1997 U.S. Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program he U.S. Fire Administration develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary criterion T for deciding to do a report is whether it will result in significant “lessons learned.” In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire--the effect of building construction or contents, human behavior in fire, etc. In other cases, the lessons are not new but are serious enough to highlight once again, with yet another fire tragedy report. In some cases, special reports are devel- oped to discuss events, drills, or new technologies which are of interest to the fire service. The reports are sent to fire magazines and are distributed at National and Regional fire meetings. The International Association of Fire Chiefs assists the USFA in disseminating the findings throughout the fire service. On a continuing basis the reports are available on request from the USFA; announce- ments of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters. This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public fire education, building technology, and other related areas. The Fire Administration, which has no regulatory authority, sends an experienced fire investigator into a community after a major incident only after having conferred with the local fire authorities to insure that the assistance and presence of the USFA would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting.
