Local Situation Awareness Segment (LSAS)

The Local Situation Awareness Segment (LSAS) is a suite of services that can be hosted within the Joint Fires Network (JFN) program or used standalone to provide Anti-Terrorism and Force Protection (ATFP) capability for harbors, ports, ships, airfields and any other high value asset. LSAS is rapidly deployable and can integrate legacy as well as new sensors for your security solutions. OSEC ATFP experts work closely with the customer's security personnel to customize graphic user interfaces (GUI) to ensure LSAS functionality reflects the desired concept of operations and standard operating procedures of the customer. LSAS will also be a software option to the US Navy Joint Fires Network (JFN), allowing JFN operators to obtain ATFP situational awareness and consequence management functionality.

LSAS is written in Java using the standard J2EE N-tier architecture providing access to radar data, CBR-N measurements, and digital video from any web browser. LSAS includes a powerful rule-based processing engine allowing conditions to be monitored at the sensor for significant "events" and appropriate alertment mechanisms to be triggered automatically.

 


SmartGate

SmartGate is a security system that can be easily customized using a variety of commercial products to provide enhanced security, increased throughput, and aid in reducing manning at the entrances to secure facilities. A key capability of SmartGate is the ability to augment existing systems (e.g. video surveillance and access control devices) with newer technologies, such as biometric identification and wireless information access (e.g. RF ID), to provide a superior capability. SmartGate operates in either manned or unmanned modes of operation and can automatically adjust entry criteria based on changes in threat conditions.

SmartGate utilizes OSEC-developed Backbone software to create a federated community from any number of disparate systems by distributing decision logic to the edges of the network in the form of "intelligent agents". These agents recognize significant events within the knowledge framework and push the information to where it can be quickly acted upon (i.e. a guard, a security office, or a roving patrol).

SmartGate currently includes a combination of the following components tailored for any environment:

  • License plate readers
  • Card readers
  • Biometric identification devices
  • Retro-reflective card identification systems
  • Radio frequency identification tags and badges
  • Under vehicle surveillance systems
  • Digital cameras and video devices
  • Non lethal and lethal barriers


Advanced Consequence Management System (ACMS)

The ACMS software program is a commercial version of the CMB. ACMS provides emergency personnel with a Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBR-N) incident information management program capable of monitoring, recording, and playing back incident information. ACMS maximizes automation by interfacing with meteorological, NBC, and various other sensors. This not only provides critical information to incident commanders, but also allows users to focus on saving lives, vice operating the software.


Remote Sensor Management System (RSMS)

The Remote Sensor Management System (RSMS) is the software component of the Tactical Remote Sensor System (TRSS) that is fielded to the Marine Corps' Ground Sensor Platoons. RSMS is a plug-in to the Command and Control Personal Computer (C2PC), taking advantage of the mapping and tactical communications services already developed in C2PC. RSMS is also integrated with the DII COE Message Processor, allowing operators to automatically generate all approved USMTF sensor messages from sensor information stored in the RSMS database to external C4ISR systems via the SIPRNET. RSMS is divided into these primary components: Sensor Plans, Sensor Monitoring, Reports, Hardware Management, and Intelligent Communications Controller (ICC) Server Interface. RSMS communicates with Army and Marine Corps sensors and retransmission devices through a serial interface attached to an ICC. This architecture supports duplex communications with devices that may be up to five RF links away from the workstation. The RSMS software has the ability to communicate reconfiguration data, recover stored data, request status, and control power management parameters to deployed devices. RSMS provides a communications topology utility that allows the operator to monitor the status of the entire sensor network and make changes to any of the communications links by reconfiguring selected deployed devices directly from this utility. Finally, all RSMS components are completely integrated with data changes updated in each of its components.



Consequence Management Board (CMB)

The CMB software program is a Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBR-N) incident information management program capable of monitoring, recording, and playing back incident information. CMB maximizes automation by interfacing with meteorological, NBC, and various other sensors. This not only provides critical information to incident commanders, but also allows users to focus on saving lives, vice operating the software.

OSEC has developed a Windows-based geographical position locator application providing user friendly, easily accessible National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) data.



Integrated Ship Survivability System (IS3)

The Integrated Ship Survivability System (IS3) is a system of networked devices, operating as internet appliances in either a hardwire or wireless mode, designed to integrate nearly any type of new or legacy sensor into the common communication backbone. The IS3 gathers near real-time sensor information about environmental conditions within monitored spaces of a ship (or other structure) and presents that information along with corresponding video displays to operators at one or more remote workstations on the network. Additionally, the IS3 includes distributed-platform software to perform continuous analysis of the sensor data gathered to in order to predict faults and produce structure-specific recommendations for corrective action during casualty conditions. The IS3 is currently in the process of UL listing and qualification as an NFPA 72 compliant fire detection system, principle bases of USCG and American Bureau of Ships (ABS) certification. Patents are pending.
