Arctic Domain Awareness Center (ADAC)A DHS Center of Excellence1Don Spalinger, LuAnn Piccard, Charlie Stuart, George KamberovPI, E2E (Theme 3); Program Manager; PM, Stakeholder Advocacy)CAS, Biological Sciences; SOE, Project Management)University of Alaska AnchorageJune 29 & 30, 20152 Overview Our E2E effort is to build, test, and deliver an Integrated, Intelligent System of Systems (IISoS) for Arctic Domain Awareness to Enable the Decision Maker. Our overarching E2E goal is to: Demonstrate and evaluate unmanned systems, sensors, and CBONS data acquisition in the arctic domain. Fuse this data, and other relevant data streams into IISoS Provide DHS stakeholders tools for visualization, evaluation, and action. Overview:◦ Year 1 Objectives/Milestones: Codify the IISoS Performance Criteria, including: Convene a Strategic Planning Committee to evaluate the Center’s  progress Stand up a prototype of the IISoS Command Center Demonstrate capabilities of the IISoS in an IONS (Crystal Serenity Cruise Ship Incident at sea) Provide Project Management oversight for Themes 1 and 2 Research3E2E Program Phase I Progress: Codify the IISoS Performance Criteria, including: Convene Strategic Planning Committee Stand up a prototype of the IISoS Command Center Demonstrate capabilities of the IISoS in an IONS (Crystal Serenity Cruise Ship Incident) Provide Project Management oversight for Themes 1 and 2 Research◦ We have completed all of the above milestones except (1).4E2E Program Standing up the IISoS:◦ Members of the Strategic Management Team and GeoNorthhave made significant progress on the development of the IISoS, including defining its first operational exercise, and fusing data from relevant sources to provide projections of ship drift.5E2E Program Project Management (LuAnn Piccard)◦ Planning and Oversight of ADAC Activities◦ Example – the “Red Chart”6E2E Program Technology Evaluation and Transition◦ Developed draft plan for evaluation of research performance and technology transfer process Addresses: Effectiveness and Relevance to Stakeholder’s needs and interests Technology Readiness Level Cost Effectiveness for DHS Enterprise7E2E Program Milestones- Year 1:◦ Meet with USCG and RDC to determine system requirements◦ Complete the specifications for data formats and interfaces◦ HSARPA data fusion – integrate into our IISoS◦ USCG D17 has access to output from our IISoS◦ Issue an RFP for projects to replace system components that were not viable. Metrics – Year 1◦ Number of projects integrated into the IISoS:  2-3 expected◦ Number of projects that reach their specific target TRL8E2E Program Metrics met:◦ Projects integrated into IISoS: CBONS Oil spill (and ship drift) modeling◦ Projects reaching specific TRL Levels Isotopic geochemistry of air, water, and ice project Established monitoring station at the Port of Anchorage Instrument (and scientists) will be sailing on the Healy in July Progress on sensor projects9E2E Program Gaps and Lessons Learned◦ 1.  Identification and engagement with key stakeholders not satisfactorily met to date Lesson learned:  process requires development of working relationships with USCG personnel locally, at D17, and at the RDC.  Locating the right people is rather difficult, in part because of the USCG hierarchy, and in part because of shifting personnel landscape.10E2E Program Other Progress◦ E2E Career Development Thrust Developing a pipeline for undergraduate and graduate student recruitment, mentorship and training in ADAC research and development of career paths into the  DHS Enterprise11E2E ProgramComputer ScientistADAC STEM FacultyOceanographic ModelerPost-docGrad Student 1Senior Undergrad Se ior Undergrad Senior Undergrad Junior-Sophomore Grad Student 2Structure of The Research-Learning CommunityGrad Student 1Grad Student 2Senior Undergrad Junior-Sophomore Senior Undergrad Horizontal Integration
