12. Current Projects:SMS / JPSC2 The SMS/JPSC2 system is a flexible and extensible integrated security system providing complete sensor Command and Control (C2) including surveillance and perimeter security through numerous sensors including marine & ground RADAR and EO/IR cameras. The system is capable of surveying, detecting, tracking and archiving Items of Interest (IOI) and intrusions which can then be provided via auto-alerts to the Security Watch Officer. • Near future installations: • New York City • Port of Long Beach / L.A. • Multi-level security GOTS development • Visual Recognition & Classification capabilities • Sensor Management Systems (SMS) and Joint Perimeter Surveillance Command and Control (JPSC2) is installed at the locations: • Navy Region Southwest • San Diego Metro • NAS Lemoore • NPS Monterey • NWS Seal Beach • US Navy / Coast Guard SCC-J • Seattle Area of Responsibility (AOR) • Jacksonville AOR • San Diego AOR

13. Current Projects: SMS/JPSC2 Common Operational Picture (COP) Layers A: Sensor Window – Surveillance Camera B: Quick Map Locator C: Map Tools: Transit Database, Search Events, Layers, Search Live Tracks, Live Playback D: Radar/Camera range rings and camera cones E: Right Click Menu: Set Affiliation, Set Name, Show History, Alarm Zone, View Events, Show Track Detail, etc..
