1. IMGS TA4 – Protection Neutralisation and Restoration

2. Presentation Overview of the IMG-S and the SRR Overview of TA4 Working Group Overview of the TA4 Themes

3. IMG-S Since 2005, European Commission has produced two security-specific reports to define coherent security research agenda for Europe. ESRIA resulted in large number of well-founded strategic recommendations the Integrated Mission Group on Security (IMG-S) was created by participants from across the European security research community (RTOs, academia, SMEs and Industry) to refine these strategic recommendations and produce a security research roadmap (SRR) –enables all security research stakeholders to understand how research may be structured to meet the ESRIA Within IMG-S a two-tier structure has been developed: –Technical Areas (TAs): focusing on technically-oriented research areas - generate bottom – up needs for research and development –Synthesis and Coordination Group (SCG): focusing on integrating and harmonising the output from the TAs to map between Missions and research topics generates SRR and annual topic input to EC Framework Programmes in a top down structure of missions and themes

5. SRR This current release of the SRR (pilot version) provides part of the intended content as a frame of reference for FP 7 Call 5 and perspectives for Call 6. The pilot is being used to enable a dialog among security research stakeholders to improving the shape and format of a commonly accepted vehicle for dialog on security research direction. A second release is scheduled for autumn 2010 with improved format and extended content to provide the first hints for FP8. A third release, the first full scale roadmap is scheduled for first half 2011 allowing for an iterative evolution of format and content to best fit its purpose as a vehicle of communication between Security research stakeholders. 5

7. TA4 Organization and Members Technical Area –Protection, neutralisation and restoration –The TA identifies topics using the group’s knowledge and experience of ESRAB, ESRIF and emerging technologies which are harmonised to produce common themes TA4 Members –23 Organisations With expertise from Industry, Research Organisations, SME’s and links to end-users –Countries include France, Germany Sweden, United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Turkey, Israel, Netherlands –New members and active participants are welcome

8. TA4 Themes The following themes have been developed and are published in the pilot SRR (with frame of reference for FP7 call 5 and 6) –Integrated Equipment for Law Enforcement –Command and Control for Crisis Management –Autonomous Platforms for Crisis Management –Support for First Responders –Physical Protection of Infrastructure –European Platform for Simulation and Training –Technologies for Restoration (New topic for SRR) Each Theme comprises –Description –Areas for Research and development –Roadmap TA4 is looking for feedback and comment

9. Command and Control for Crisis Management Description –A Command and Control System must support, all organisations involved, at various levels, at all tasks in relation to management of a crisis –An alternative to the ‘traditional’ hierarchical organisation is the concept of a net-centric organisation –Applications of the concept in this domain difficult due to : Number of organisation involved, Relative independency, Differences in policies and internal structures, Replacement of legacy systems and equipment. –Proposed idea Link together existing (legacy) systems by an “umbrella system” Providing all available information and support for collaborative planning and decision making. Areas for Research and Development –Improved Situational Awareness –Communications –Decision Support –Interoperability

10. Support for First Responders Description –Public expectations of first responders are on the rise and faster and more efficient intervention is required –To perform this job the responder must be: Effectively protected against hazards Able to perform the required tasks Have efficient and adaptable equipment Areas for Research and Development –Minimising the burden of First Responders –Reliable, linked and affordable detection –Situational Awareness and decision making –Strengthening Response forces All of the above being fast deployable, cost effective, plug and play, interoperable and reliable

11. Integrated Equipment For Law Enforcement Description –Law enforcement officers play a major role in policing and security: Enable lawful activities of all citizens, to protect human rights, and to be prepared for public disorder, major incidents and acts of terrorism. Have the capability to execute a graduated response according to the level of the threat. Spend as much time as possible engaged in traditional policing Be able to act quickly in critical situations where effective protection is needed and where the officer may need to use force. –Equipment must provide protection and be compatible with the performance of the activities that are required in such critical conditions. Areas for Research and Development: a systemic approach on –Information and communication issues –Adaptive protection –Efficient reaction equipment –Ergonomics and societal needs

12. Autonomous Platforms for Crisis Management Description –Operation of First Responders in critical situations is subjected to a number of factors which can cause serious risks for human operators and also reduce their operational effectiveness. –A robotic platform, with the necessary skill to operate in hazardous environments in place of – or in cooperation with - a FR team Would substantially reduce injury or loss of life among First Responders Would enhance their operational effectiveness and capability. Areas for Research and Development –Mobility In any environment, as autonomously as possible, to solve the problem of using the robot alongside the FR. –Sensing and cognitive capabilities For self localisation, search and rescue as well as detection of dangerous situations for FR –Natural and fast interaction with the FR team in the field. Communications Situational Awareness

13. European Platform for Simulation and Training Description –Modelling, Simulation and Analysis (MS&A) is invaluable tool to understand the inherent causality in complex processes surrounding crises management. –Physical systems and human actions can be predicted in a safe way. –Generally both cheaper and more effective than traditional training methods. –Provides insights into the collective behaviour of the whole Crisis Management System by modelling the behaviour of its components and their operating rules. –There is a need to develop a generic pan-European simulation platform To form basis for planning, training and management of crisis management operations. Areas for Research and Development –Plug-in framework as part of a general architecture for different models. –Transform a suitable set of research models (describing different kinds of disasters) to simulation tools that are easy to use –Combining models for simulation of cascade effects – enable complex scenarios

14. Physical Protection of Infrastructure Description –Increasing the resilience of critical built infrastructures such as supply chains (energy, water, food, emergency and rescue services) information- and communication systems transportation (harbours, air ports, railroads, interchanges) critical industrial facilities (chemicals industry, nuclear power plants, refinery…) banking and finance government agencies and public buildings Areas for Research and Development –Risk Assessment –Situation and Structural Assessment –Passive Reinforcement Measure –Smart Built in capabilities enabling rapid assessments of damaged structures –Integrated Networks of Active and Passive Protection Measures

15. Technologies for Restoration (New Theme not in pilot SRR) Description –Crisis Management challenges dependent upon the phase in the crisis management cycle and on type of incident –Complex incidents will pose especially significant demands during restoration phase, particularly on logistics capabilities. –Consequence Management is required to respond quickly to interruptions of critical infrastructure as inefficient practices will lead to a massive downfall in business and domestic continuity Areas for Research and Development –Recovery Logistics Post crisis needs assessment methods and tools for reconstruction and recovery planning Structural damage assessment tools Sustainability logistics planning and consequence management Search and rescue operations –Service Restoration Basic service restoration (e.g. energy, food, water, communication) Recovery of, and support to, national government Social normality e.g. schools, employment Consequence Restoration Decontamination
