Enabling Geospatial CBRN Mission Data Set Implementations
Track: Homeland Security
Author(s): Charles Hill

The U.S. Army Research and Development Command (RDECOM) Edgewood Chemical-Biological Center (ECBC) generates innovative technical solutions through a variety of Joint Service/DoD Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) programs. The outcomes from these endeavors validate integrated decision systems (DSS) for situation awareness specifically tailored to incident management, CBRN warning, reporting, readiness, response, and recovery operations. Geospatial engineering within this environment encompassed programs such as USAF GeoBase integration, RestOps Information Management System (ROIM) deployment, SDS 2.2 CBRN mission data set development, R&D for utilization of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Commercial Joint Mapping Toolkit (C/JMTK), and the Joint Service Installation Protection Project (JSIPP). Protecting mission critical/essential infrastructure (sensors-operations-personnel-equipment) by enabling DSS capabilities to minimize the impacts of, protect, and recover from CBRN incidents require complete integration into the Operational Picture of an installation. The goal of multi-jurisdictional stakeholder incident management (the new Battlespace) through CBRN Geospatial enhancement will be presented.
