  1. The Unmanned Port Security Vessel: A Multi-Sensor Autonomous System for Maritime and Port Security Brian Bingham (University of Hawaii)Hanumant Singh (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)Richard Camilli (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)

  2. The Unmanned Port Security Vessel • Port response and recovery • Infrastructure and channel inspection • Change detection • Threat assessment • First Responder Support • Getting more ‘bootson the ground’ • Small boat harborsurveillance • Multidisciplinary, Multi-Institutional Science and Technology Competition

  3. UPSV Programmatic Background • Multidisciplinary, Multi-Institutional Science and Technology Competition (2009) • Topic Areas: Multiple sensor integration, and Port systems resilience • “Effectively develop and integrate multiple sensors and intelligent systems from disparate sources and multiple scales.” • Requirements: • “High quality scientific research” or “Cutting-edge research program” • AND • “Adding value to DHS an its customers” • Response: Overarching Research Ideas • The role of unmanned systems in port/harbor security • Supervisory control and operator-in-the-loop autonomy • In-situ sensing and imaging. • “Data fusion” for maritime remote sensing: “Putting it on the chart”

  4. Research and Development • Real-time environmental monitoring, autonomous change detection • In-situ marine chemical sensing • Robotic mapping • Supervisory control andHuman-robot interaction

  5. Research and Development • Prototype platform • Sensor integration • Data and information delivery • Timeline: Hawaii Demo. 2 Hawaii Demo. 1 Year 1 Year 2 Year 2 East CoastDemo.

  9. State of the Project • Phase I Complete (4/15/2010) • Phase II initiated (7/1/2010) • Platform Development • Successful field trials of initial prototype • Implementation of real-time supervisory command and control software • Connections with DHS Mission • Working with USCG (Districts 1 and 14) and USCG R&D Center • Collaboration with Civil Support Teams • Collaboration with WHOI, ALERT and Stevens Institute of Technology

  10. Field Trials • April, 2010: Remote-control testing, Keehi Lagoon • September, 2010: Software-control/archiving testing, Keehi Lagoon • December, 2010: Feedback control testing, Makai Research Pier

  16. Synergies:Transition • Working with USCG R&D Center (Don Cundy, Jack McCready, Joe Kusek) • Collaborating with National Guard Civil Support Teams (CSTs) • Leveraging DHS COE’s (CIMES, ALERT, CSR)

  17. Synergies: RICC Conference • Research and Industrial Collaboration Conference (RICC)Sponsored by ALERT COE (Northeaster Univ.) • CAPT Joseph Servidio • Balancing Research and Operations • From the researcher’s perspective, what’s the primary use? • From the user’s perspectives, what transition roadblocks exist? • Can we identify “gaps” in current capabilities? • E.g., Sensor fusion, decision aids, determining intent, etc. • Mechanisms for Transition • What are the possible pathways for transition? • Traditional:University research -> Industry development -> agency acquisition • Direct:Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) • What is the process for setting DHS requirements?
