16. Recent Operational Events • Operation Gallant Fox II • Pentagon Exercise Involving Multiple Agencies/Jurisdictions (7 Agencies) • CapWIN Used for Individual and Group Communication Across Agency Mobile Units – Utilized Multi-Level Discussions (Public and Private) • World War II Memorial Dedication • CapWIN Used for Communication and Coordination Across Participating Agencies (11) • Provided Detailed Logging of Key Events in Support of Law Enforcement Activities and Transportation Management • Reagan Funeral • Used in Support of Transportation Coordination (Primarily DDOT) as well as FBI/WFO Participation in Law Enforcement Activities

17. Ongoing Operations • CapWIN Continues to be Used Daily by the 20 Participating Agencies • Beyond Planned Events & Exercises, the Benefits of Interoperability are Already Being Realized Through CapWIN, Including Cross Jurisdictional Law Enforcement Coordination, Incident Participation and Monitoring, and Global Directory Use (Easily Identifying Resources Across Agencies)

18. Today’s Presentation • CapWIN Background & Vision • Operational Status & Current Participants • Recent Operational Events/Exercises • System Overview & Development Roadmap • CapWIN Live System • Questions

19. Technology Considerations • Minimal impact on existing systems • Can’t afford to modify or replace systems • Extensive use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software • Technology Standards • TCP/IP, XML, HTML, IEEE 1512 • Open, scalable, reliable Web-based architecture. • Efficient use of limited bandwidth for wireless systems.

20. Communications Methods • Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) • Code – Division Multiple Access (CDMA) • Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) • Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) • General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) • 1xRTT / 1xEVDO • Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) 802.11 • Radio Frequency (RF) • 800 MHz (high frequency)

21. Security • CapWIN Login • FIPS 140-2 Compliant (Federal Information Processing Standard) • Strong Encryption (256) • VPN • Law Enforcement Login • WALES, MILES, VCIN

22. Communications Workflow

23. Incident Management User Directory My Contacts Groups Units Instant Messaging Chat Rooms Email Attachments Document Photo Floorplans Other Task 1: Messaging/Email

24. Law Enforcement Queries Task 1 • Name • Registration • License • Local Files • Local Warrants • Protection Orders • Concealed Weapons Permits • Future Files WALES, MILES, VCIN, NCIC, NLETS

25. Incident Management Support Task 1 • Incident Name • Location • Incident Types and Sub Types • Incident Description • Messaging • Chat Rooms • File Sharing

26. Automatic Notifications Task 1 • Notification Types • Triggers • Location • Recipients • Notification List • Notification Subscriptions

27. Task Two • Planning and design that will allow mobile access to regional transportation (traffic) management centers in Virginia and Maryland • Provides for planning and design for access to hazardous materials information

28. Transportation Task 2 • Traffic Events • Traffic Cameras • Speed Sensors • Weather Sensors • Alerts

29. Hazardous Materials Queries Task 2 • WISER Integration • CHEMTREC • Chemical Name • Placard • CAS # • CHRIS Code • DOT Label • UN/NA #

30. CHEMTREC Task 2 • Notification • Email/Chat • CHEMTREC Form • Attach Form Containing all Required Information Necessary for CHEMTREC to Initiate Action • Automated completion of form based on HAZMAT query results

31. Task Three • Provides an open standard interface to CapWIN for existing mobile computing systems in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. • Actual open standard interface for one existing mobile system in the region, selected by CapWIN, with minimal impact to the participating agency.

32. Recent Decisions • Release of CapWIN software as “Open Source” to allow for National Distribution and to Facilitate System Development and Enhancement • Development of “Web Services” Client Designed to Improve Performance on Slower Wireless Networks and to Better Compliment Users with Existing Mobile Data Systems
