INFORMATION SYSTEMS (ACD&P)
Abstract
This Project provides for Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P). Specifically it supports the Joint Effects Model (JEM) Program and the Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN) Program. The Joint Effects Model (JEM) is DoD's only accredited model for predicting hazards associated with the release of contaminants into the environment. JEM is a software-only, ACAT III program that is being developed in separate increments and is capable of modeling hazards in a variety of scenarios including: counterforce, passive defense, accident and/or incidents; high altitude releases, incident source prediction to include NTA events, urban CBRN/Toxic Industrial Hazard environments, human inhalation, contagious/infectious disease, population movements, efficacy of medical countermeasures, industrial transport; building interiors, and human performance degradation. Battlespace commanders and first responders must have a CBRN hazard prediction capability in order to make decisions that will minimize risks of CBRN contamination and enable them to continue mission operations. JEM operates in an integrated fashion with operational and tactical Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, and in a standalone mode. JEM interfaces and communicates with the other programs such as JWARN, weather systems, intelligence systems, and various databases. The Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN) will provide the Joint Forces with a comprehensive Integrated Early Warning, Analysis and Response capability to minimize the effects of hostile CBRN attacks, as well as accidents and incidents. It will provide the operational capability to employ CBRN warning technology which will collect, analyze, identify, locate, report, and disseminate warnings. JWARN will be compatible and integrated with Joint Service C4ISR Systems. JWARN will transition from platform specific Common Operating Environment (COE) standards to a Web-based Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). JWARN will also provide an expansion of sensors that will connect to JWARN, increased automation of message handling, improved false alarm filtering, integration of route-planning calculator, and interoperability with additional C2 systems. JWARN will be located in Command and Control Centers at the appropriate level and will be employed by CBRN defense specialists and other designated personnel. This employment will transfer data automatically from existing and future sensors to provide commanders with the capability to support operational decision making in a CBRN environment. JWARN will provide additional data processing to support the production of plans and reports, and access to specific CBRN information to improve the efficiency of limited CBRN personnel assets. JWARN will integrate existing sensors into a sensor network or host C2 system, but does not provide the sensors that will be employed in the operating environment. The JWARN capability described above will be developed utilizing an incremental approach based on Service requirements and host system architecture.
