Threats
• Nation States
• Terrorists
• Transnational Criminals/ Pirates
WMD – “Preeminent among our national security
priorities is to take all necessary steps to prevent
WMD from entering the country and to avert an
attack on the homeland” (reaches to biological,
chemical and radiological material)
Domains of Interest
• Maritime Domain/ Infrastructure
– 80 % of world trade is over water
– 50% of world trade by value and 90% of cargo
transported in containers
– 30 mega port world wide cities
– 75% of world trade and 50% oil consumption
passes thru “chokepoints” (straits and canals)
Domains of Interest (PA-NY/NJ)
• Maritime plus

• Suggests??? – Involvement in all areas of
Emergency Management to include
preparedness, interdiction, response, recovery
AND information and intelligence
sharing…vertically and laterally
The Praxis Begins
1.
In 2003, a New York/New Jersey Radiological Pilot
Program (RPP) was implemented from a DHS grant to
develop and deploy a defense-in-depth perimeter
around New York City for the detection, interdiction,
and resolution of potential radiological or nuclear
threats.
2.
The PA-NY/NJ designated to lead the development of
a communications, command and control framework to
provide for the dissemination of sensor alert
information and the coordination for planning and
response.

Praxis Continues
3.
Development of RIJAN Prototype (Regional
Information Joint Awareness Network)
4. SSA interface and transport bus architecture
5. CWID exercise – proof of concept Coalition Warrior
Interoperability Demo – sponsored by Chairman JCS
to test C4ISR (command, control, communication,
computers, intelligence, surveillance, recon)
THESE CONCEPTS ARE NOT UNDERSTOOD BY NONMILITARY AGENCIES

Radioactive shipment (cobalt 60) from Canada to Port in NJ goes
missing
NY State Police assume incident control – issue bolo to NY “law
enforcement” w/parallel comm. to RIJAN
Truck found abandoned in rural NY- radioactive material missing
NYS police coordinate region wide search for missing material
Collaborative brief held over RIJAN SSA technology
Radiological detection sensor triggered at Lincoln Tunnel Toll
Plaza sensor info relayed to RIJAN SSA and Lawrence Livermore
national labs- vehicle sent to screening point
Port authority now assumed incident control, SSA enhanced by
integrating video camera feeds and helicopter video
Figure 2: RIJAN Shared Situational Awareness (SSA)
Initial Collaboration NY State and
RIJAN
• Crucial elements of the event
• Establishment of a perimeter and regional checkpoints
• Soliciting radiological technical advice from federal
sources
• Activation of regional Emergency Operations Centers
• Dissemination of critical law-enforcement information
• Requests for federal resources
• Engaging and alerting adjoining states and related
agencies
Exercise observation and results

Observations from the CWID exercise provided the
following lessons learned:
Provide information to executives and operators in a
form they can use wherever they may be
Shape technology around existing operational and
institutional cultures
Leverage existing infrastructure and legacy systems to
the greatest extent
Adopt standard business rules and formats for
information exchange and collaboration
Provide operational users easy to use voice, video,
sensor data, GIS mapping and other collaboration tools
to enable informed decision making
My Observations and Research
Direction(s)
• CWID like exercises should occur in our
region more frequently
• SSA and Interface design
• Rethinking “enterprise architecture” and
the role of SOA
• Teams, virtual teams, horizontal and
vertical collaboration
• NJIT architecture SWAT team researching
RIJAN and EPINet
