  1. Statewide Communications Interoperability PlanIllinois: A State of InteroperabilityDecember 3, 20070Version 1.0

  2. SAFECOM Interoperability Continuum • Governance • Standard Operating Procedures • Technology • Training and Exercises • Usage

  3. Governance • Establishes Statewide Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC) as Governance body. • Establishes Illinois Terrorism Task Force Communications Committee, as the developing authority for the plan. • With the roles of both committees being fully articulated, the plan promotes accountability and propels both groups forward with defined purposes and responsibilities.

  4. Standard Operating Procedures • Committees have been formed to craft standard operating procedures from informal protocols used to direct interoperability in the past. • Newly-developed SOPs include NIMS-compliance requirements and optimize interoperable communications in a multi-agency/multi-disciplinary/multi-hazard environment.

  5. Technology • Built on a series of independent, yet interrelated, radio and data communications systems which have a demonstrable record of functionality and reliability. • Illinois has invested over $27 million in federal homeland security funds to enhance voice and data communication systems.

  6. Training and Exercises • Illinois is reemphasizing the importance of regular, comprehensive, and cross-disciplinary exercises that will be used to identify potential problems on a local/regional/state level. • Exercises will be used to identify areas of need for remedial training, promote familiarity with equipment usage, and ensure participants readily understand the standard operating procedures which govern interoperability.

  7. Usage • High level of interoperability usage as evidenced by the multiple shared communications systems in use within the public safety community. • Continuing deployment of the STARCOM 21 radio system increasing interoperability. • The SIEC will promote the expansion of interoperability and its indoctrination into the mainstream of public safety operations in Illinois.

  8. Interoperability Continuum

  9. Interoperable Communications Technical Assistance Program Communication Assets Survey and Mapping (CASM) Tool Short Introduction ICTAP/CASM-PRES-002-R1 Updated 2/13/07 - CASM Release 1.2

  10. CASM: Purpose • Provide a single database to collect information about land mobile radio systems, other interoperability methods and how they are used by public safety agencies within an urban area or state.

  11. CASM: Purpose • Provide a method to display the data.

  12. CASM: Purpose • Provide tools to analyze the data and visualize interoperability gaps in accordance with the SAFECOM Interoperability Continuum framework.

  13. CASM: Benefits • Sharing Data. CASM makes communication assets and interoperability data available to authorized users within an urban area or state. Assists participating public safety agencies in understanding the interoperability methods used by neighboring agencies.

  14. CASM: Benefits • Identifying Gaps. CASM provides a number of different ways to visualize potential interoperability between agencies in an urban area or state. This information may be used to design solutions to interoperability gaps.

  15. Reporting Options. CASM provides seven different pre-formatted reports that may be converted to standard word processing or spreadsheet documents for further customization by individual users. CASM: Benefits

  16. Shared Radio Channels • INET (IEMA Low Band) • IFERN (Interagency Fire Emergency Radio Network) • ISPERN (Illinois State Police Emergency Radio Network) • IREACH (Illinois Radio Emergency Assistance Channel) • MERCI (Medical Emergency Radio System of Illinois) • ESMARN (Emergency Services Mutual Aid Radio Network) • V-TAC (Very High Frequency Tactical Channel) • U-TAC (Ultra High Frequency Tactical Channel) • I-TAC (Interagency Tactical Channel)

  17. Strategic Technology Reserve

  18. 13 Unified Command Vehicles

  19. 11 Transportable Emergency Communications Systems (ITECS)
