International Perspective on HA/DRThe Use of Science and Technology in Humanitarian Assistance MGEN CARLOS B HOLGANZA AFP Pacific Operational Science and Technology Conference 20 March 2012
NADESCOM • Unified Command tasked to perform Development Support Operations.
We aim to establish an environment conducive to DEVELOPMENT to achieve LASTING PEACE
“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” Traditional military approach PREVIOUS AFP RESPONSE
Body counts Number of recovered firearms Number of cleared villages Combat Scores
NADESCOM • Unified Command tasked to perform Development Support Operations. • Addresses the roots of conflicts by providing engineering, medical, educational, livelihood and other community intervention programs.
Poverty Inadequate Health Services Lack of Infrastructure development Inefficient Agrarian Reform Weak Community Security Lack of Education Addressing the root causes Poor Governance
NADESCOM • Unified Command tasked to perform Development Support Operations. • Addresses the roots of conflicts by providing engineering, medical, educational, livelihood and other community intervention programs. • Providing humanitarian assistance to support the other unified commands during disasters.
PARTNERSHIP WITH MEC • Technology insertion to bilateral exercises initially focused on application of technology in war-fighting. • Priority shift to HA/DR as test bed. • Application to community intervention programs.

DISASTER RESPONSE “HUMANITARIAN RELIEF IS INCREASINGLY A CORE TASK FOR ALL DEFENCE FORCES,” AND THAT IT SHOULD BE THE MAIN PART OF “MILITARY BUSINESS, NOT SIMPLY A SECONDARY TASK.” ~ New Zealand Defence Minister Wayne Mapp
PHILIPPINE SITUATION • Disasters happen more frequently, more severely, and including areas not previously prone to disasters. • Local civilian government unprepared and overwhelmed. • AFP is called to be the first option to respond. NEED TO DEVELOP COMPETENCE
Development Support Operation Traditional Combat Operation Focus more on development as opposed to combat Changing the Game
root causes of insurgency insurgents Redefining the Enemy
Providing Better Services for the People Eliminating the Enemy Redefining Victory
FEARED RESPECTED Changing the Game
From a mere warrior, he must now be a THINKING, INFORMATION AGE WARRIOR Changing the Game
Winning the war Winning the PEACE
From VIOLENCE-MANAGER ..to a COMMUNITY-DEVELOPER
From Gallantry in Combat… To Nation-building Community development Changing Behaviors and Attitudes
Combat Leadership Enemy-centric Servant Leadership People-oriented
PACOM-AFP PARTNERSHIP ON HA/DR • Develop HA/DR as a core military function of the AFP. • Leverage SPP with Hawaii for USAR. • Utilize technology experimentation with MEC as enabler.
WATER PURIFICATION SYTEM Bataraza, Palawan - Cholera outbreak
WATER PURIFICATION SYTEM Hagonoy, Bulacan - Typhoon and severe flooding
WATER PURIFICATION SYTEM CDO and Iligan Cities - Flashfloods
WATER PURIFICATION SYTEM Negros Island - Earthquake
PARTNERSHIP WITH HING • Focused on Urban Search and Rescue. • Synchronized with MEC direction. • MEC provides technology in several areas. • Training sessions have been conducted. • Demonstration of capabilities would be shown in BK12.
TECHNOLOGY TO BE USED FOR BK12 • UAV • HF Doppler Radar • Emergency Command and Control • Emergency Communication • Alternative Power • Alternative Building System • Logistics Management Software • Social Mapping
HADR Logistics MARCIM CA Tool Portable Reverse Osmosis Disaster Assessment and Management Slow Sand Filter Water Purification and Assessment Exercise Balikatan Technology Insertion Stalker UAV HF Doppler Radar HADR C&C First Response STAESS Energy Storage Energy Systems AQUAPATH Tulip WPS Saebi Alternative Building System Aspen WPS
INDIGENOUS TECHNOLOGIES • Internet based stakeholders collaboration system. • Medical Mapping software.
HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE WHOLE OF HUMANITY WHOLE OF NATION WHOLE OF GOVERNMENT
TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT NEEDED • Disaster Response Management System • Rapid Response Based on Rapid Needs Assessment • Air Traffic Control and Sea Port Management • Emergency Bridging • Evacuation Center Management
What matters most is not who wins the race, but how many are able to finish the race.
