Effective situational awareness is consumed directly by
the decision maker
More layers is not better
Not all information is of the same urgency or importance
Required manipulation by specialized analysts renders a
system useless in a real situation
Moving beyond “Swivel chair” situational awareness
(stovepipes) is what most leaders are truly looking for
Building map displays (GIS) is now purely commodity –
deciding the philosophy of the display is the hard, but
valuable part
We use a hazard and risk orientation to drive prioritization
Just because a feed or system or dataset CAN be
integrated, doesn’t mean it SHOULD be
Mobility is a game changer
Mobility empowers field reporting, which drives ground
truth
What we have learned
Profile threat and risk - Use data and analytics to quantify risks and measure gaps in capabilities
Monitor broadly against your risk profile – monitor sensors, online data, social media, and field reporting for indicators & warnings (I&W) of threats
Provide dynamic data visualization – Use geospatial, temporal, and triage views to inform stakeholders
Prioritize and route critical information - Use real-time analytics to identify priority information and direct it to those who need to see it wherever they are
The constellation platform is the result of our R&D efforts over the last 10 years!
It’s built using the most modern open source analytic technologies – we are using the same frameworks that products like Twitter and facebook use…it’s all proven. In some cases we had to optimize the technologies to make it do what we wanted.
The most important thing is that Constellation is ready to use. It isn’t something we build from scratch for our customers. It just works….
How does it work? That’s the section in the middle
Finally, we present the information through defined visual canvases. What is important to remember is that the end user does not need to do anything to generate these views.
So how is this used?
Let’s look at it from the position of decision makers: Starting with an analyst.
We are looking at three screens that show analytic fusion from Constellation…
You can explain the text…
It’s about non technical users such as commanders being self sufficient in using analytics to make decisions. We are breaking the typical mold of analytic applications. We are not focusing on eye candy, but on decision centric presentations and interaction models.
So, who are our customers?
It’s not just about analysts, it also about pushing intelligence out to the field in mission critical situations.
It’s a combination of customers across the public sector industry…
Explain some highlights. So let’s look at what we mean by the Public safety ecosystem…next slide
Cloud enables you to grow faster. You can grow what is working…you can increase stakeholder participation more easily.
