  5. Problem Statement • Effective communication for disaster relief efforts becomes unreliable and ineffective when terrestrial networks are damaged, making communications intermittent or impossible. CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device

  6. Evaluating the Problem 1 - National Task Force on Interoperability CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device First Responder Communication Problems: “Did you know that police, EMS teams, and firefighters sometimes have to juggle as many as five different radios because each agency communicates on different systems?” 1 “Did you know that first responders had to use runners to carry messages from one command center to another in the immediate aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing because they did not have common radio systems?” 1

  7. Evaluating the Problem 1 - National Task Force on Interoperability CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device • Five reasons agencies cannot talk to one another • Incompatible and aging communications equipment • Limited funding • Poor planning • Lack of coordination and cooperation • Limited and fragmented radio spectrum

  8. History and Case Study Presenter: Neil Catlett CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device

  9. Disasters Cause Problems 2 - Dr. Robert Miller CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device Hurricane Katrina caused many problems as it pummeled the Gulf Coast. • 100 radio stations unable to broadcast2 • 2000 cell towers put out of commission2 • Some parishes in Louisiana did not have 911 restored for weeks2 “The magnitude of the storm was such that the local communications system wasn’t simply degraded; it was, at least for a period of time, destroyed.” – Paul McHale, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense2

  10. Disasters Cause Problems Sprint long-distance switch station 3 - Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device “During Hurricane Katrina, Sprint was the long-distance carrier suffering the most severe damage in its network, including the total loss of two key facilities. When these two sites failed, all the sites along the coast between New Orleans and Biloxi were cut off.” 3

  11. The First Responders CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device

  12. Issues for Responders on the Scene 2 - Dr. Robert Miller CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device Outside law enforcement tended to use two-way radios operating on different frequencies than the local precincts Department of Defense elements found difficulty in communicating with civilian agencies 911 became unusable even while active due to “spiking call volumes as desperate people tried to get help or check on those at risk”2

  13. Current Process and Solution Presenter: Wayne Thomas CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device

  14. Current Process First Responders First Responders Police/Firefighters Police/Firefighters Local Responders Disaster City/State/Country Telephone poles/Power Network/Cell Towers CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device

  15. Current Communication • Devices • Satellite Phones • 2-Way Radio • Cell Phone 1- National Task Force on Interoperability 4 – Satellite Industry Association CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device

  16. Solution Statement CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device Uninterrupted intercommunication between all first responder and disaster relief teams/agencies

  17. Objectives CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device Device

  18. Objectives • 5 - Magnus Frodigh, Per Johansson and Peter Larsson CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device • Networks • Ad-Hoc5 • Mesh • Storage

  19. Improved process and competition Presenter: James Smith CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device

  20. Competition Solutions 6-AT&T 7-BRCK 8-Mobilicom 9-Sprint CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device

  21. SCIDS Device Hardware CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device Prototype- base Raspberry Pi or Arduino Uno connected to an ODU monitor and keyboard Retail tablet with required functionality and operating system Pre existing Smartphone with SCIDS app

  22. SCIDSDevice Software CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device

  23. SCIDS Improved Process CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device

  24. Examining the Solution Presenter: Jake Jackson CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device

  25. Problems with the Solution CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device Inadequate to no mobile network or internet signal Limited Bluetooth range Limited battery power/battery power source Data security on ad-hoc devices

  26. Benefits of the Solution CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device Reliable and effective communications Cost effective Versatile Ease of use Each device comes equipped with a Camera, GPS, WIFI, and Bluetooth Data is shared quickly and easily Large data storage capability

  27. Conclusion CS410 SCIDS Hand-Held Device • Ineffective communications is a serious problem during disasters and will continue to be so until new technologies are implemented • SCIDS proposed solution is not without issues • SCIDS proposed solution is: • The most cost effective • Has the most capability for large data storage • Is the most versatile as compared to other current solutions
