The MC2GP team is a government and industry consortium lead by the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command’s Future Warfare Center or SMDC FWC lead by Mr. Larry Burger, a member of the U.S. Army Senior Executive Service. You can see our core competencies, bottom line is we identify gaps, prototype solutions and rapidly transition technologies to the field. We are headquartered on Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. Our core team is shown here. I am the chief of the Innovative Ventures Division within the FWC. Over the last 4 years I have been in the unique position as being a DoD civilian as well as being the Science and Technology lead for the Alabama Department of Homeland security, working directly for Director Walker. Mr. Justin Novak is the technical lead. His background includes being the lead systems engineer for the Virtual Alabama program and as a result winning five national awards for innovation . Ms. Terri Innes is our operational lead. She was the program manager for the SMDC and Alabama Department of Homeland Security FLAGSHIP program and is currently the lead for the C2 Gap Filler Joint Concept Technology Demonstration program that has its mission to share critical air surveillance data between Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and Federal Aviation Administration systems. Mr. John Buckley is our Business Development lead and has been supporting me in that capacity for almost 20 years. Mr. Dave Cox is my counterpart as Chief of the Missile Defense Division and he brings the Advanced Warfare Environment or AWarE and multiple other personnel with “hands on experience” to the MC2GP program.

5. Awareness (SA) environment
THE CHALLENGE
Breaking down interagency information, data discovery & sharing stovepipes and providing greater information sharing among all FSL & T levels
DoD/Commercial Satellite Imagery products & Communications
DoD/DHS/ Other Federal/State/Local Airborne/Land/Maritime Full Motion Video (FMV), Imagery & Other Data Products
America’s Warfighters & First Responders have limited, TIMELY accessibility to the multitude of data sources/products/shared awareness available to them thereby creating a sub-optimal Situational
Awareness (SA) environment
Civilian/Commercial Airborne/Land/Maritime FMV, Imagery & Other Data Products
The first responder problem description, as we have experienced, is shown here. There are multiple DoD, Department of Homeland Security, Federal, State, local, civilian and commercial airborne, land and maritime assets that are producing data products such as photography, imagery or full motion video, but little of that data is made available to first responders in either or timely or accurate way. This problem facing first responders is similar to those facing our soldiers, sailors and airman in the area of situational awareness. Everyone must have advanced situational awareness that is achieved through exchange of data between multiple users, so that all users, from the highest headquarters down to the vital first responder, can view the Common Operational Picture or COP and easily collaborate via both voice and data. This would improve streamlined decision making exploiting superior situational awareness and modern collaboration tools. The technology is available today, but due to market forces such as use of proprietary systems, the necessity to use unique hardware and the lack of understanding of products developed for the military that can be used by the civil authorities, there seems to be multiple answers but none cost effective or interoperable with other systems. These are the same challenges that face the FWC in the military market. It therefore becomes a programmatic issue of leadership not knowing that there are cost effective, available solutions thereby resulting in first responders looking for their own unique solutions. This is what has made the FWC so successful over the years……..breaking down the barriers, building partnerships and creating a transparent environment so that critical technologies can get to the hands of the ones that need it most.

6. NGB REQUIREMENTS
Provide an operational capability and common set of enterprise services that has the maturity, flexibility and security assurances to meet the following requirements supporting IAA Missions:
From a multitude of Joint and Interagency producing assets Process, Analyze and Disseminate (PAD) EO/IR FMV. FMV will be accessible by FSL & T leadership. FMV will have a full “TIVO Like” capability for PAD functionality.
Process and disseminate still imagery from producing assets (Space/Air/Ground/Maritime).
All FMV and still imagery will be associated with organic Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and be accessible to the most disadvantaged users through web and portal services.
Enable communications between FSL & T facilities and producing assets through Enterprise System Services. This includes collaboration capabilities such as white boarding, graphics dissemination, data distribution, chat and Common Operational Picture (COP) sharing/development/display through rugged and portable means.
Provide a “Blue Force Tracking” like capability for air/ground/marine/space assets and share that data between FSL & T systems and organizations.
AND
Be Affordable and Non-Proprietary

7. GIIEP System’s Summarized Purpose
Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) is one of the most important responsibilities of the US military. A key enabler is the Incident Awareness & Assessment (IAA) mission which leverages traditional Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities in support of domestic operations while assuring strict adherence to all applicable legal frameworks. The GIIEP system will enhance the ability of each state/territory JFHQ systems to rapidly respond to disaster situations and perform the IAA mission with a robust organic capability. This capability will provide FMV, still imagery, a COP and robust situational awareness to military and civilian first responders. The inherent flexibility of the system will enable operators to tailor their efforts to take maximum advantage of available assets and available communications as they support disaster response operations.
