Command and Control for Border Protection Johnny Chabalala Saab South Africa

Scope Discuss approached to Border control C2 solutions for Border control

Training and Simulation integration for Command and Control AIM To discuss the use and benefits of Command and Control for border control Training and Simulation integration for Command and Control 3

Border Control approaches Conventional approach Deploy maximum personnel to border areas Manpower intensive Costs can influence deployment numbers and duration New approach Deploy technological systems from appropriate role players and manage inputs for efficient and better border control and management Minimises deployed human resources Increase situational awareness to all levels and stake holders Continuous tracking and monitoring of personnel and assets Utilising training and simulation to improve operational effectiveness

Border control execution Border control is not a one man show Control of borders needs well planned and coordinated efforts on the part of all role players Border Management Agency (BMA) is the custodian of the border control function but not the day to day executor NATJOC will be the recipient of information from various sources (coordinating and planning function) NATJOC will task relevant elements to act on incidents (planned and contingency operations/events) Assets and personnel will be deployed efficiently as and when required

Use of command and control for border control Use of command and control technologies will have the following advantages Efficient utilisation of all resources Provides real time situational awareness Enhances the output of the commander in terms of situational awareness and decision making under stressful circumstances Quick sharing of intelligence and information Real time distribution of tasks Is interoperable and integrated with training and simulation systems It is the ultimate decision support tool The commander uses these technologies to be able to command and control his human resources and material assets

Requirements for command and control Standardise Command and Control Standing Operating Procedures Common Operational language Common Operational planning process Common Doctrine Common Simulation and Training exercises Create interfaces in cases where standardisation is not easily achieved due to Cost Difference in operations Legacy system are still in use Phased approach is used to achieve standardisation over time

Airborne surveillance Surveillance aircraft fitted with AEW&C Mission System provides national security, meeting the threats in a changing world. These systems offers total control over air and sea. The second slide presents the situation where the product would be used and the needs that it is designed to meet. It briefly explains why the product is the best solution for that need, outlines its key capabilities and highlights Saab’s strengths. The information will be presented in a factual and concise manner so that there is a direct link between the requirement and the product. The reader should be able to identify with this and recognise that the product is the most effective way of dealing with this particular requirement or danger. The text is supported by the ‘product in studio’ image or even a rotating 3D movie of the product.

Training and simulation Training and simulation is a command responsibility Combined training for all role players Facilitate seamless integration (for various departments) Mission rehearsal can improve efficiency, optimise operational and contingency plans and vastly reduce costly errors

Command and control will ease use and control of deployed assets Conclusion Command and control will ease use and control of deployed assets Role players will have access to information they require to perform their tasks Command and control systems can include legacy systems Command and control systems are available COTS/MOTS C4IS is an essential element of Border control structure linking the Strategic level to the Tactical level for all components, military, police and civilian. Training and Simulation as a command function prepares role players to perform tasks
