International Maritime Protection Symposium 2005 The Harbour Defence IKC2 Experiment 13 Dec 2005 Tan Choon Kiat Defence Science Technology Agency, Singapore
Objectives • Leveraging network-enabled and knowledge-based war-fighting paradigm using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), to provide interoperability and pervasive accessibility to information to all on the network
Integrated Services • Common Situation Picture from subscription to various Web Services • Radar Service • Own Force Service • Sea Situation Picture (SSP) Service
Ease of Service Integration Radar 2 Service Track Manager Service Own Force Service Radar 1 Service Integrated Services
Enhanced Awareness • Provide recognized situation picture from fusion of sensors info • Track Manager Service • Providing video streaming of the ground activities • Electro Optics System • Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera • Fixed IR Camera
Enhanced Awareness Track Manager Service
Enhanced Awareness Building up a recognized situation picture accessible by all, anytime
Video Images Enhanced Awareness Virtual Presence
Knowledge Based Decision Support • Aids commander in decision making by sieving out potential threats early • Intent Monitoring Service
Observations Proliferation of Situation Awareness • Before • Situation Picture only at Command Post • After • Situation Picture is available to all operational nodes • Forces can be equipped with a mobile computer and receive the picture on the move
Observations Proliferation of Situation Awareness • Before • Command Post has no real-time knowledge of patrolling units’ location • Cumbersome voice communications needed to vector patrolling units and interceptors to scene of action • After • All patrolling units’ locations are displayed at all operational nodes • With the mobile computer, patrolling units can coordinate and approach intruder in shortest time
Observations Benefits of Visual Information • Before • Each Observation Post has its own blind spots • Identification and verification via voice communications > 5 min • After • Video streams from various cameras provide visual images to all nodes • Identification and verification via visual imagery < 1 min
Lessons Learnt • Challenges during Lab Ops transition • Creating experimental environ without impeding live operations • Limitations of COTS • Preventive measures to extend shelf life of equipment needed in marine environment • Co-evolution • Constant review of services with Ops users is critical to create relevant systems • Streamline of work process needed to promote acceptance of new technology and system
