Brea-out Sessions

Objectives

Breakout Sessions• Starting from day 2 of the ARW there will be presentations in

the morning and break-out sessions in the afternoon.• Each member of the ARW will be assigned to a group. A list

of participants and the assignment to the groups is provided. • The ARW participants will spend 2-4 hours at breakout

discussions with presentation of interim results at the end of the day

• Topics of the discussions will be selected by the members of the groups within the framework defined below

• At the end of the ARW each team will present their conclusions (at least 4 slides and 2 pages of text)

• The ARW will be concluded by a panel discussions based on the findings of the breakout sessions

Intent

CapabilityOpportunity

Threat

The Discussions will Address Unconventional threat

Various Stages of Threat

• Potential – Strategic Warning

• Imminent

• Attack assessment and response

• Consequence management, including secondary threats detection and management

• Lessons learned and refining response

Ranges and Methods of Threat

• Delivery Methods– Mines– Bombs– Dirty Bomb– Unmanned vehicles– Suicide attacks– Containers– Boats– Sabotage– Unknown/Unexpected

• Ranges– Short– Long

Threat Type

• Chemical

• Biological

• Radiological

• Nuclear

• Conventional Explosions

• 9-11 like

• Information warfare

Working Group Goals

• Chose a Scenario including– Threat Stages– Threat types– Threat Methods and Ranges– Response Constraints due to Harbour Environment

• Identify– Requirements

• Objectives, Functions and Essential Elements of Information– Technologies (available and future)– Information available and necessary through sensors and other

sources (e.g. open, agencies and jurisdiction)– Methods

• Detection, identification• Situation assessment• Prediction

DHS Scenarios as Examples

Issues to be Addressed• Vulnerabilities• Co-ordination between agencies, jurisdictions (institutional

issues) – Detection– Assessment– Response– Interoperability

• Degrading of sensors, communication, etc.• Opportunity for Fusion and Information/Knowledge

Management• Improved Situation Awareness• How to improve performance through the communication,

co-ordination and co-operation• How do define Success (Effectiveness and Performance)• Relevant technology that isn’t being developed• New research areas

Working Group Product

List of Recommendations for:– Information and process requirements– Technology requirements– Possible approaches to threat detection,

assessment and prediction– Institutional issues– Relevant technology that isn’t being

developed– Etc.
