To find out more information about this Challenge, please signin or register for an account.DHS has the mission to enhance and coordinate the federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial (FSLTT) agencies response to counter a range of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) threats. The Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office (CWMD) has the responsibility to understand these threats and their implications for FSLTT missions, capabilities, and resources and help implement national and Departmental policy in support of the CWMD mission. As part of this mission, CWMD has developed three strategic goals:
To enable these strategic goals, CWMD requires the capability to collect, analyze, store, and report a wide array of sensor data. The DARPA-developed SIGMA system “has been used in prototype form to support several CWMD programs, most notably the Mobile Detection Deployment Program (MDDP).” The DARPA SIGMA system was developed in multiple phases to:
Going forward, CWMD must implement and operationalize a production-level sensor network system beyond the prototype level to enable the operational components to execute their respective counter CBRN missions. Is this a “one-size fits all” system for all DHS components, or is it a common backbone which can be customized and adjusted to fit the needs of the components and their respective missions? Or are the mission sets too unique and complex, thus dictating completely independent and separate network system solutions?
