Alliance for Homeland Security Innovation - Florida
Operational Test Bed.
An agreement between HPI,
the National Center for Simulation (NCS), and the Central Florida
Regional Domestic Security Task Force (RDSTF), was formed to
cooperate in creation of a Florida operational test bed for advanced
technologies. HPI volunteers are working to identify the user
requirements for the local emergency management community, and to
recognize DOD solutions to be brought forth.
Orlando and Orange County RDSTF exercises have already been
scheduled for the test bed.
HPI has arranged for two technology systems to be used and
evaluated during the exercise: portable interoperable radios and
chemical detectors. These technologies are responsive to high
priority needs and HPI has been able to secure vendors to provide
systems to be monitored. Following the exercises, the data will be
collected and an evaluation of the system meeting the requirements of
the users will be performed. |

Test and Evaluation Issues Checklist.
Building on the experience to date, a
draft issues check list has been developed of the questions that
should be considered in planning for test and evaluation of CBR
treatment and/or monitoring technologies. It is currently
undergoing consortium review and comment. (

White Paper: Evaluation of Nuclear,
Biological, and Chemical Building Air Treatment System Players,
Needs and Standards. Upon
receipt of a request for assistance from a potential technology
provider, a draft White Paper was prepared describing applicable
players, requirements, and standards in the U.S. for CBR air
treatment technology for buildings. This paper illustrates one type
of support HPI can provide to describe the technology development
and deployment Value Chain in its User Assistance Center. (

Policy Development - Geospatial Preparedness Workshops.
HPI is facilitating a series of
workshops on geospatial preparedness for the Spatial Technologies
Industry Association (STIA), in cooperation with the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS). The first workshop will be held in
Washington on July 16, 2003. Its purpose is to define
geospatial preparedness, as input to the DHS effort to develop a
National Strategy on Homeland Security Geospatial Preparedness. For
more information, contact Joe Lees at
jlees@hpi-tech.org or Greg Karmazin (STIA) at
GKarm@aol.com.
