HAVOC Harmonized Analysis of Vehicles on Command

• CHALLENGE
• Vehicles are terrorists delivery method of
  choice for bombs.
• Attacks facilitated by the uncontrolled use of
  vehicles
• impact on the ability of United States to
  achieve its National
• Security policy goals and objectives in the
  GWOT.
• SOLUTION
• Create an expanded, policy linked,
  technically implemented buffer
• zone around headquarters complexes and other
  key assets.
• VALUE
• Enables achieving National Security policy
  goals and objectives by
• Controlling threats, thus
• Attenuating the perception of challenges to US
  objectives and
• Reducing casualties

Technology Hyper Spectral Analysis

• TECHNICAL READINESS
• Base technology currently available
• MIRVed to fit HAVOC requirement
• TECHNICAL CAPABLITY AND CHARACTERISTICS
• Video tracking algorithms to produce a data
  package for each object
• Simultaneously, produce remote biometric
  information for each object
• Extract data from visible areas of the target
  for continuous updating
• Provides the extra dimension to greatly enhance
  the tracking process.
• COMMERCIAL APPLICATION
• Transportation hubs
• Industrial sites
• Government facilities

11
Technology Hyper Spectral Analysis
APPROACH

• Disruptive rapidly emerging technology
• Interrogating remotely colour of a threat /
  target
• Offers the potential for remote covert
  identification of humans subject to
  infrastructure could use as an input sensor to
  establish and maintain a large keep out zone
• Offers the potential to provide an additional
  tracking discriminant to increase system
  robustness
• Current status proof of concept hardware and
  software are available for assessing
  identification concepts

12
Technology Hyper Spectral Analysis

• Solution combines robust sequential Monte Carlo
  
• (particle) filtering techniques with an
  innovative
• approach to efficient data association
• Solution offers the potential to
• Track hundreds of targets
• Address obscuration
• Integrate capabilities with multiple cameras

13
Technology Hyper Spectral Analysis
IDENTIFICATION SOLUTIONS

• Stand-off biometric for security access control
• Assessment to date indicates skin colour is
  unique to the individual
• - like a fingerprint
• Provides a capability for verification/identificat
  ion which is
• Non contact
• Independent of viewpoint angle
• Covert
• Fast
• Potentially robust to countermeasures
• An alternative to face recognition, without the
  drawbacks

14
Technology Hyper Spectral Analysis
TRACKING SOLUTIONS

• QinetiQ video tracking algorithms to produce a
  data package for each object
• Label
• Position
• Velocity vector
• Colour information is produced for each object
  and added to the data package
• Much greater resolution than conventional RGB
• Ability to extract from all visible areas of the
  target and update continuously.

• Provides the extra dimension to greatly
  enhance the tracking process.

15
Technology Hyper Spectral Analysis
Summary

• Outlined a disruptive technology for
• Remote identification system as a input sensor to
  the HAVOC system
• Provide the basis for additional input data for
  tracking systems
• Significantly increases system robustness
• System available now for concept assessment

16
Employment Concept

• POLICY
• Establishes requirement for security Smart Tag
  for
• Vehicles entering proscribed areas or
• Vehicle classes having elevated threat potential,
  for example
• High Capacity Vehicles
• Tank Trucks
• Coalition Vehicles by Class
• Driver/Vehicle registration establishes identity
  metrics
• Ownership
• Garaging location
• Digital pictures of owner, drivers and vehicles
• Paint, sound, and skin information

17
Employment Concept

• OPERATIONALLY
• On vehicle approach, GC identifies RSI and at
  least one additional identification metric,
  passes to decision support system
• Motion detectors advise of vehicles without RSI
  video tracks and establishes technical signature
• Decision support system hands off vehicle
  tracking from camera to camera
• Operations Center directs acquisition of
  vehicles of interest
• Decision support system provides likely future
  vehicle position
• Vehicles of interest shunted into safe areas
  away from buildings, check points, and personnel
  for further interrogation

18
Employment Concept
SPOOF PROOF?

• Of course not nothing is BUT HAVOC
• Separates identified traffic from vehicles of
  interest at an
• actionable distance
• Increases the complexity of problems terrorists
  must
• resolve to deliver a vehicle bomb on target,
  thus
• Increases terrorists exposure and risk of
  discovery
• Reduces the risk to critical facilities, check
  points, and
• personnel
• Facilitates free movement of identified traffic

23
Business Model

• SUCCESS POTENTIAL
• RCI has significant experience implementing
  large, complex programs
• The HAVOC system will significantly reduce the
  success of vehicle-
• based attacks against critical assets
• WHY
• RCI understands the requirements for the HAVOC
  program
• Provides expanded technical stand-off space
  prior to encountering
• physical stand-off
• Technical stand-off space facilitates
  identification and tiered
• engagement
• Requires a local official sign-off on
  registration thus
• takes advantage of local knowledge,
• empowers local officials, and
• provides an audit trail of responsibility
