  1. NATIONAL LOGISTICS WORKSHOPRENO, NEVADAMARCH 15, 2005

  2. NATIONAL INTERAGENCY INCIDENT COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION • P25 MULTI-MODE RADIOS • WHAT IS NARROWBANDING • NWCG RADIO ADVISORY GROUP RECOMMENDATIONS • PRE-ORDERS ON INCIDENTS • CDO/COMC • INTRA-CREW COMMUNICATIONS

  3. MULTI-MODE (P25) • OPEN STANDARD (non-proprietary) All manufacturers radios can operate together seamlessly. • INTEROPERABILITY Can operate in the analog wideband, analog narrowband or digital mode as well as multi- mode. • BACKWARDS COMPATABILITY Will operate with existing wideband and narrowband systems.

  4. P25 RADIOS IN CACHE • RADIOS • THALES RACAL 25 • EF JOHNSON 5100 • MOTOROLA XTS 5000 • DATRON GUARDIAN Radio Training www.nifc.gov/radios

  5. P25 RADIOS ON CONTRACT • DATRON GUARDIAN 25 • EF JOHNSON 5100 • MOTOROLA XTS 5000 • THALES RACAL 25 • RELM BENDIX KING DPH • ADI REPEATERS/BASE STATIONS • DANIELS REPEATERS/BASE STATIONS • MOTOROLA QUANTAR REPEATERS/BASE STATIONS

  6. P25 RADIOS ON DOI CONTRACT • DATRON GUARDIAN MOBILE • EF JOHNSON 5300 MOBILE • MOTOROLA ASTRO MOBILE • TECHNISONIC TDFM 136 DOI CONTRACT www.blm.gov/natacq/IDIQ/index.html

  7. “NIICD FIRE CERTIFIED P25 RADIOS” • EF JOHNSON 5100 • MOTOROLA XTS3000 • MOTOROLA XTS5000 • THALES RACAL 25 • DATRON GUARDIAN 25 • RELM BENDIX KING DPH • TECHNISONIC TDFM136

  8. WIDEBAND = 25 KHz NARROWBAND = 12.5 KHz NARROWBAND = 12.5 KHz WHAT IS NARROWBANDING? • DIVIDING OF FREQUENCIES IN ½

  9. IN WIDEBAND WE HAD TOTAL OF 480 FREQUENCIES AVAILABLE TO ALL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES IN NARROWBAND WE NOW HAVE TOTAL OF 960 FREQUENCIES AVAILABLE TO ALL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

  10. THINGS TO REMEMBER • NARROWBAND VS WIDEBAND • OLDER RADIOS THAT ARE NARROWBAND ANALOG CAPABLE HAVE TO BE PROGRAMMED TO NARROWBAND, THEN TUNED ACCORDINGLY TO WORK PROPERLY • ISSUES CREATED WHEN RADIOS NOT PROPERLY SET-UP • NARROW TO WIDE = AUDIO LOW, TURN UP VOLUME ON WIDEBAND RADIO • WIDE TO NARROW = AUDIO LOUD, TALK INTO WIDEBAND RADIO WITH MIC TURNED SIDEWAYS SPEAK ACROSS MIC NOT DIRECTLY INTO IT

  11. NEW RADIOS ARE CAPABLE OF OPERATING IN WIDEBAND & NARROWBAND ANALOG & NARROWBAND DIGITAL ON PER CHANNEL BASIS • WHEN PROGRAMMED PROPERLY NEW APCO Project 25 RADIOS WILL OPERATE IN ALL CURRENT SYSTEMS • USERS SHOULD SET COOPERATOR CHANNELS TO MATCH COOPERATOR SYSTEMS

  12. RADIO USER RESPONSIBILITY: • THAT ONCE SET, NOT TO CHANGE FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING ON THE RADIO DURING OPERATIONS. ONLY CHANGE FREQUENCIES AND GUARD TONES. • TO MAKE SURE RADIOS ARE UPDATED WITH CURRENT VERSIONS OF SOFTWARE. • NIFC-NIICD WEBSITE • www.fs.fed.us/fire/niicd/Hotsheet/Hotsheet.html • SELECT: RADIO SOFTWARE VERSIONS • PHONE CONTACT: 208 387 5719

  13. All fire communications activity (interagency) will be performed in multi-mode if capable. Any federal, state or local entity that converts to digital must keep their system in multi-mode during fire activity. All radio equipment issued by NIRSC will be configured in analog narrowband mode. All FM aviation communications (federal, state and contracted) will be in the analog narrowband mode. NARROWBAND ADVISORY GROUP RECOMMENDATIONS

  14. Family Radio Service (FRS) and General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radios are not to be used on incidents. All MOU’s between cooperators need to be reviewed to ensure that beginning in 2005 all fire frequencies are authorized for narrowband operations only. NARROWBAND ADVISORY GROUP RECOMMENDATIONS

  15. Standing orders/pre-orders for communications systems in excess of a 4390 Starter System will not be automatically filled by NIRSC. Pre-orders tie up frequencies which are in short supply. Once the team is on the ground and has assessed their communications needs NIRSC will fill what is needed. PRE-ORDERS ON INCIDENTS

  16. CDO/COMC Duties and Responsibilities

  17. COMMUNICATIONS DUTY OFFICER

  18. WHAT DO THEY DO? • Provide AM/FM frequencies for initial attack, and for all National Type I, and II incidents with the assistance of the USDA Forest Service, Department of Interior, and Federal Aviation Administration • Coordinate the design, and ordering of communications equipment, and supplies, and the ordering of personnel

  19. COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR

  20. WHAT DO THEY DO? • Manage and allocate communications resources • Personnel • Equipment • Frequencies • Supplies • Maintain staged resources if necessary • Work under the direction of the CDO • Work in a geographic area • Review/approve resource orders • Aggressively enforce priorities

  21. PROVIDE ASSISTANCE • Obtaining communications equipment • Specialized communications equipment • Personnel • Supplies • Trouble shooting • Equipment tracking • Area information

  22. PERSONNEL • COMT pool reduces competition by incidents for COMT resources • Incident COML requests for COMT support through COMC • Resource order is not necessary • COMC provides excess list to CDO for reassignment nationally

  23. EQUIPMENT • Incident COML orders equipment • COMC reviews/approves all orders • Determine sources for communication equipment not available at NIFC • Identify specialized equipment to augment communications for incidents

  24. FREQUENCY MANAGEMENT • Immediate action on frequency management is required • Maintain accurate records • Pass frequency information to CDO • All frequency support is made through CDO • Support all functions that have frequency requirements

  25. FREQUENCY MANAGEMENT • Additional requests are made through CDO • Adhere to restrictions identified for frequencies • Release frequency assignments as soon as possible through CDO and other coordinating entity

  26. WORK WITH OTHERS Provide suggestions and advice to • Geographic Area Coordinators • Incident Management Teams • Complex Incidents • Small Incidents • Local Dispatch about allocation and/or reallocation of communications equipment personnel and supplies.

  27. INTERAGENCY COORDINATION • Maintain contact with all agencies involved FEMA State Local Private

  28. RELEASE OF RESOURCES • Determines priority of equipment • Notify CDO of available equipment • Identify method of return and inform COML • Track released equipment until it arrives at it’s destination

  29. INTRA-CREW COMMUNICATIONS • Involves all Interagency Hotshot Crews • One nationwide intra-crew frequency • Incident use only • Narrowband operations • PL tone on TX and RX frequencies • When demobed return to national IHC frequency

  30. INTRA-CREW COMMUNICATIONS • No use of any other frequencies authorized • Use in mobiles not authorized • Radio discipline is required for effective and efficient operations • Request for support will be made through COML at incident
