IMPROVEMENT

HAVOCHarmonized Analysis of Vehicles on Command

CHALLENGE • Vehicles are terrorist’s delivery method of choice for bombs.• Attacks facilitated by the uncontrolled use of vehicles impact on the ability of United States to achieve its National Security policy goals and objectives in the GWOT.

SOLUTION• Create an expanded, policy – linked, technically implemented buffer zone around headquarters complexes and other key assets.

VALUE• Enables achieving National Security policy goals and objectives by:

• Controlling threats, thus• Attenuating the perception of challenges to US objectives; and• Reducing casualties

TechnologyCurrent Feature Set

TECHNICAL READINESS • Base technology currently available• MIRVed to fit HAVOC requirement

TECHNICAL CAPABLITY AND CHARACTERISTICS• Video tracking algorithms to produce a data package for each object• Simultaneously, produce remote biometric information for each object• Extract data from visible areas of the target for continuous updating• Provides the extra dimension to greatly enhance the tracking process. COMMERCIAL APPLICATION• Transportation hubs• Industrial sites• Government facilities

TechnologyHyper Spectral Analysis

APPROACH

• Disruptive rapidly emerging technology

• Interrogating remotely “colour” of a threat / target1. Offers the potential for remote & covert identification of

humans – subject to infrastructure could use as an input sensor to establish and maintain a large “keep out” zone

2. Offers the potential to provide an additional tracking discriminant to increase system robustness

Current status – proof of concept hardware and software are available for assessing identification concepts

TechnologyHyper Spectral Analysis

• Solution combines robust sequential Monte Carlo

(particle) filtering techniques with an innovative

approach to efficient data association

• Solution offers the potential to:

– Track hundreds of targets

– Address obscuration

– Integrate capabilities with multiple cameras

TechnologyHyper Spectral Analysis

IDENTIFICATION SOLUTIONS

Measure & store signature

TechnologyHyper Spectral Analysis

• Stand-off biometric for security & access control

– Assessment to date indicates skin colour is unique to the individual

- like a fingerprint– Provides a capability for

verification/identification which is:• Non contact• Independent of viewpoint & angle• Covert• Fast• Potentially robust to

countermeasures• An alternative to face recognition,

without the drawbacks

TRACKING SOLUTIONS• QinetiQ video tracking

algorithms to produce a data package for each object – Label– Position – Velocity vector

• Colour information is produced for each object and added to the data package

• Much greater resolution than conventional RGB

• Ability to extract from all visible areas of the target and update continuously.

• Provides the extra dimension to greatly enhance the tracking process.

TechnologyHyper Spectral Analysis

Summary

• Outlined a disruptive technology for

1. Remote identification system as a input sensor to the HAVOC system

2. Provide the basis for additional input data for tracking systems

• Significantly increases system robustness

• System available now for concept assessment

TechnologyHyper Spectral Analysis

Employment Concept

POLICY

• Establishes requirement for security “Smart Tag” for • Vehicles entering proscribed areas or • Vehicle classes having elevated threat potential, for example

• High Capacity Vehicles• Tank Trucks

• Coalition Vehicles by Class

• Driver/Vehicle registration establishes identity metrics• Ownership• Garaging location• Digital pictures of owner, drivers and vehicles• Paint, sound, and skin information

Employment Concept

OPERATIONALLY

• On vehicle approach, GC identifies RSI and at least one additional identification metric, passes to decision support system

• Motion detectors advise of vehicles without RSI; video tracks and establishes technical signature

• Decision support system hands off vehicle tracking from camera to camera• Operations Center directs acquisition of “vehicles of interest”• Decision support system provides likely future vehicle

position• “Vehicles of interest” shunted into safe areas away from

buildings, check points, and personnel for further interrogation

Employment Concept

SPOOF – PROOF?

Of course not – nothing is – BUT HAVOC

• Separates identified traffic from “vehicles of interest” at an

actionable distance

• Increases the complexity of problems terrorists must

resolve to deliver a vehicle bomb on target, thus

• Increases terrorist’s exposure and risk of discovery

• Reduces the risk to critical facilities, check points, and

personnel

• Facilitates free movement of identified traffic

Related Applications

• Convoy Security – Creates a technical security “bubble”

• Vehicle Monitoring by Class

• High Capacity Vehicles• Tank Trucks• Other Vehicles by Class

• Identifying and tracking “vehicles/people of interest”

Applications are bounded only by your policy INGENUITY and IMAGINATION

Potential Market

EXPECTED USE / MARKET SIZE • Security

• Monitoring• Tracking• Access control

• Size: Estimate 1,000 US sites – public and private sector

GEOGRAPHICS OF MARKET• Applicable to protecting high value assets worldwide

EXPECTED ENHANCED CAPABILITY• Adds “technical” buffer zone• Alerts to “vehicles of interest” at “actionable” distances

COMPETITION• None currently – New spin on emerging technology

Business Model

SUCCESS POTENTIAL • RCI has significant experience implementing large, complex programs• The HAVOC system will significantly reduce the success of vehicle- based attacks against critical assets

WHY• RCI understands the requirements for the HAVOC program• Provides expanded “technical stand-off” space prior to encountering “physical stand-off”• “Technical stand-off” space facilitates identification and tiered engagement• Requires a local official sign-off on registration; thus

• takes advantage of local knowledge, • empowers local officials, and • provides an audit trail of responsibility
