Cooperative border security design relies on technology to assist in the prevention of transnational trafficking of illicit goods, including nuclear and radiological materials. Design and deployment of foreign border security systems must address unique challenges, including poor infrastructure, unique environmental conditions, limited terrain knowledge, incomplete threat knowledge, insider threats, and occasional cultural resistance. In addition, potential deployment nations are often considered high-risk destinations. Therefore, it is advantageous to minimize the time required for in-country deployment and integration efforts. Oak Ridge National Laboratory is developing a border security performance test bed. The goal of this test bed is to test, validate, integrate, develop, and eventually help specify commercial and lab-developed border security components that are robust, reliable, and effective while offering a level of "plug and play" integration. Additional goals include the development of a hierarchical command and control software application and adaptable high-bandwidth wireless communication systems. The information gathered from this test bed will be used to design and validate future cooperative border security systems. The test bed will also provide a proving ground for novel sensor types and serve as a venue for conducting border security technology training classes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
