Editor's Notes
- #2 Note – model assumes that:1) Policy and Legislative imperatives are clear2) Chain of command and ops control roles are clearly defined and understood as are escalations and degree of responses based on severity / threat assessment.3) Incident closure process is assumed as being defined as are incident response plans.4) Tertiary Systems such as Traffic lights barriers and tolling systems are available as inputs – not all detection types are listed ie RFID is a valid mechanism for tracking cars as is cellular ESN for tracking people5) All data point to point is encrypted to military grades.
- #3 Note the above diagram should be read from bottom to top.Each layer is representative of functions and roles and presents a limited example of each level.Situation and Response planning requires that response plans are already available – heuristics for the analysis layer are always customised depending on the requirements of the agency seeking the system.Terrorism will require military response and therefore all command and control will default to military objectives overriding standard surveillance requirements.AVL as an example should be installed on all official vehicles etc and a web map interface present for coordination of response assets.
