  1. Technology Challenges - Harbor Small Boat Tracking Panel 7 Steve Childress November 17, 2010 San Diego, CA

  2. Speaker:Steve Childress - steve.childress@saic.comChief System Engineer/Wireless. SAIC, San Diego + Support contractor to Navy/SPAWAR System Center, on Communications for Maritime Container and Cargo Security Small Vessel Tracking/Monitoring (panel 7) • Relevant National/Local Initiatives (Partial) • National/DHS and Local Small Vessel Strategy Working Sessions • Next: Feb 8-9, Miami • Multi-agency, J-HOC, Seahawk, et al • NOAA VMS/LEADS • Potential Port of Long Beach/DHS Pilot Project

  3. Control…Gov’t/LEA Commissions/Registers Devices, Unlike AISVessel Owner/lessee Owns Device - Dual-use, e.g., - Abated-rate Insurance - Panic Button Call-for-aid - Fewer Boardings, Preferential Routes - Affordable – Encourage Voluntary Participation - $0 Recurring Wireless Service Cost – No Public Carrier - Gov’t Annual Registration Fee Small Vessel Tracking/Monitoring (panel 7)

  4. Small Vessel Tracking/Monitoring (panel 7) Ideally, A System.. Exceptions-only! ”Almost-Free" Small-vessel Device, Gov’t Controlled. Infrastructure: Gov’t Owned. Reusable COTS-GOTS

  5. Small Vessel Tracking/Monitoring (panel 7) #4 If R&D Proves Viable: High-payoff – But Must Be Non-proprietary, Standards-Based #5 Is Lowest Cost; Lacks Crucial In-harbor Movement Info. (Where’s it now?) #6 Higher but Viable Cost; Likely Best, Long Term

  6. Small Vessel Tracking/Monitoring (panel 7) #4 “Choke-point” Validation Tests w/IEEE 802.15.4 Devices + High-gain Ashore Antennas (2) 2,000 ft. Width Typ. IEEE 802.15.4 Tag Bi-directional, encrypted w/Alongside small/large vessels - Good, but not fool-proof #6, Harbor-wide/offshore; VHF/MURS + MURS Miles of Range Coverage Harbor-wide + Offshore To anchorage, Few Low cost RF Modems w/VHF Gain Antennas Data to/from Ops center via existing Port Authority networks Validation From Prior Projects Using MURS At Similar RF power. Simple to Confirm Typ. VHF/MURS Bi-directional, encrypted

  7. Small Vessel Tracking/Monitoring (panel 7) • TAKE-AWAY’s • Encrypted Over the Air Commissioning By LEA/agent • Silent Alarm if Unauthorized De-installed (attempt to move to another vessel) • Choke Point Scenario: Using Active Tags (IEEE 802.15.4) Technically Viable, but… • Guidance On Harbor-wide vs. Choke-point-only: Is Choke-point Inadequate? • Harbor-wide VHF GPS Device - Gov’t Owned Infrastructure (low cost) – • Most Prudent? • Standardize for Use CONUS and Cooperating territories, and At-scale cost benefit • Suggested: Initiative Yielding Non-proprietary & Secure Low Cost RACON (#4) • Assumption OK? Registration Fee Subsidizes Cost Of Adequate On-Boat Device • Standardize/Nationalize Locale-Collaborative Registry w/Revocation and Watch Lists
