STAR-TIDES is publishing a public beta of the After Action Report from RELIEF 10-01 experimentation at CP Roberts in November 2009.
The STAR-TIDES experiments at RELIEF 10-01 tackled three challenges to building a common operating picture:
Making effective use of aerial imagery.
Exploring new methods for field data collection.
Developing systems for integrating streams of information.
The STAR-TIDES team included representatives from Sahana; Open Mobile Consortium; InSTEDD; San Diego State University Visualization Lab; Open Solutions Group, Inc; Synergy Strike Force; Unthinkingly.com; and the National Defense University.
The RELIEF experiments at CP Roberts is posting to http://relief1001.org and is using the twitter hashtag #camproberts. Please follow our work on building a common operating picture between civilian and military organizations.
From 10-14 November, STAR-TIDES will be hosting experiments at the Naval Postgraduate School's testing facility in the Central Coast of California. Our work will focus on several problems in humanitarian assistance, disaster response (HADR) and stability operations:
Building a new basemap of the affected area quickly and at high resolution
Creating an open-source infrastructure for sharing georeferenced information and data feeds with everyone in theatre.
Integrating data submitted from mobile devices and distributing data back to the users of those devices.
Creating tools that simplify information sharing between civilian and military organizations.
TIDES has released the full after-action report (AAR) from the recent experiments at Camp Roberts, which included the Afghan election monitoring system based on the fusion of NGA imagery, SMS frameworks, and several open mapping tools. Please see the attachment for the full report.
