ISR SymposiumWashington, DC
11 June 2013
America’s “Best-Kept ISR Secret”
Climate change Environmental
degradation Ecological disasters Overfishing Illegal migrants Drug and people
smuggling Disruption of the
global supply chain Weapons proliferation Critical infrastructure
interruption Traditional naval threats

Challenges to Maritime Security
Policy Framework
“The Nation lacks effective mechanisms for incorporating scientific information into decision-making processes in a timely manner.”
3
1. Improving national and homeland security
2. Improving predictions (climate, ocean, weather…)
3. Improving safety and efficiency
4.Mitigating the effects of natural hazards
5.Enabling the sustained use of marine resources
6.Protecting/restoring coastal ecosystems
7.Reducing public health risks
We cannot manage or protect what we cannot sense, measure, analyze and communicate!
US IOOS® is…
A national program comprising 17 federal agencies
Numerous partners in academia and industry
Strategically positioned and aligned with: Department of Homeland Security and US Coast Guard
Department of Defense and the US Navy
Broader regional, national and international ocean, coastal and inland water stakeholder groups
4A rising “star” in the Nation’s ISR “constellation”
IOOS® Maritime ISR
5
Data Management and
Communications (DMAC) informs
common operating picture
High Frequency radars
Stationary & mobile platforms
Unmanned surface &
profiling gliders
Modeling and analysis
Ocean observatories
Physical Oceanographic
Real-Time System (PORTS®)
Coastal Data Information
Program
IOOS® High Frequency Radar
6
HF radars measure speed and direction of ocean surface currents
All-weather effectiveness Horizontal resolutions / ranges vary
Very high resolution – 15 miles Medium resolution – 55 miles Low resolution – 125 miles
Paired HF radars cover 6,000 square miles of ocean surface
Network increased to 132 radars in 2013 from 20 HF radars in 2002
IOOS data management resulted in a national network
DHS funded tests of HF radars for vessel of interest tracking
Collaborations: USCG and DHS / USN
7
US Coast Guard
Search and Rescue Optimal
Planning System (SAROPS)
Maritime Wide-Area
Surveillance
Homeland Security and Navy Vessel of interest tracking
complicated by “dark ships”
Open Mongoose
IOOS® Response to SuperStorm Sandy
8
IOOS partners’ buoys, gliders and other
sensors generated hourly updates
Wind velocities, wave heights and
periods, water levels
Air and water temperatures
40+ High Frequency Radars
Ocean current data
Information shared with National
Hurricane Center
Generated time critical warnings for
local public officials
Storm path and flooding updates

IOOS Informs Decisions
IOOS®: No Longer “Best-Kept Secret”
10
Innovative use of scarce
resources for the Nation’s
oceanographic ISR needs
Contributes to understanding
and knowledge of oceans,
coastal seas, inland waters
IOOS ISR generates direct
contributions to US Maritime
Security
US IOOS® enables decision-makingand underpins scientific advances.

The Maritime Domain Is…
“All areas and things of, on, under, relating to, adjacent to, bordering on or over a sea, ocean, or other navigable waterway, including all maritime related activities, infrastructure, people, cargo, and vessels and other conveyances.”

Maritime Domain Awareness Is…
“…the effective understanding of anything associated with the global maritime domain that could impact the security, safety, economy, or environment of the United States.”
“…enhanced capability to identify threats to the Maritime Domain as early and as distant from our shores as possible by integrating intelligence, surveillance, observation, and navigation systems into a common operating picture accessible throughout the US Government.”
