  21. Technical Working Group Windsor Diagram and Resource Requirements Matrix (RRM)

  22. Windsor Diagram • Why is it produced? To simplify the exercise communication architecture • What is it? Network drawing, including communication lines and assets • What is important? Who provides equipment (nations) What is provided (specific numbers) Where the equipment resides (sites) Compliments the Resource Requirements Matrix (RRM) TO DO! Draft

  23. RRM • Detailed equipment list for each site • Who provides equipment • Quantities of equipment • Site technical personnel • Site communication requirements TO DO! Draft

  24. Technical Working Group Locations of EXCON Forward and Training Audience

  25. Technical Working Group • Identify Proposed Locations of EXCON Forward and Training Audience (TA) for each site • May be co-located in same facility, but not same rooms • It is best if TA uses its everyday communication and information systems • TA location requires internet capability to access SEESIM 14 webmail • Need to work with counterpart in Operational Working Group to determine locations no later than MPC

  26. Technical Working Group EXCON Forward Site Capabilities
