SUMMARY:Advancing Forensic DNA Analysis in Support of DoD Missions
DESCRIPTION:Join HDIAC on Thursday\, May 21\, from 1200 to 1300 EDT for a live webinar presentation titled “Advancing Forensic DNA Analysis in Support of DoD Missions”. Please register in advance for the webinar at: https://www.anymeeting.com/PIID=EE57DF8384493D \nForensic DNA analysis has advanced significantly within the last 5 years and developments are beginning to be incorporated that will further push the boundaries of forensic science.  By harnessing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the entire genome\, forensic investigations are now being solved with the aid of innovative technologies developed by Parabon under DoD research contracts\, many of which are now in use by the DoD. \nIn this presentation\, Dr. Ellen Greytak\, Director of Bioinformatics\, will use real life case studies to provide an overview of new forensic technologies such as DNA phenotyping\, distant kinship analysis\, next-generation sequencing (NGS)\, and forensic genetic genealogy\, discussing the technologies\, their use\, and their application to the DoD.

SUMMARY:Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones) Course
DESCRIPTION:The Counter UAS course addresses public safety concerns of drones being used for nefarious purposes and counter-drone operations.\n\n\n\nSTUDENTS MUST BE A MEMBER OF A LAW ENFORCEMENT\, FIRE\, EMS\, OR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY IN THE STATE OF UTAH. \nTHIS COURSE IS HELD IN SOCORRO\, NEW MEXICO. AIRFARE\, LODGING\, RENTAL CAR WILL BE PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THE STUDENT OR AGENCY. MEALS ARE REIMBURSED ONCE THE STUDENT RETURNS HOME. \nEMAIL ART DEYO AT ADEYO@UTAH.GOV WITH ANY QUESTIONS. \nUnmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) represent the next wave of innovation in aviation. While these systems have been used extensively in overseas military operations for decades\, the technology is relatively new to hobbyists and for commercial applications. UAS are beginning to fly in unprecedented numbers in the U.S. airspace\, and most users of UAS technology today are recreational hobbyists\, commercial entities or public use aircraft operators who conduct flights within published guidelines and regulations. However\, there are some who operate negligently\, and worst yet\, there are those who use UAS for malicious and nefarious purposes. Negligent hobbyist UAS operators have disrupted first responder operations such as wildfire suppression and search and rescue efforts\, and criminal organizations are using UAS to smuggle contraband into restricted areas like prisons\, and to conduct illicit or illegal surveillance at our borders and high-value infrastructure. Overseas\, terrorists are using UAS with success to drop bombs on allied troops.  \nEMAIL ART DEYO AT ADEYO@UTAH.GOV WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

SUMMARY:Complex Coordinated Attack Training Week at CDP
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Domestic for Domestic Preparedness has announced the dates for its next Complex Coordinated Attack Theme Week. \nThe event will run Jan. 5-11\, 2020 on the CDP’s campus in Anniston\, AL. \nThe intent of the week is to enhance emergency responders’ ability to respond to attacks designed to disrupt or overwhelm response agencies\, such as an active shooter coupled with the release of hazardous materials. \nThe week will be the third such theme week hosted by the CDP\, and one of two such theme weeks the CDP has planned for 2020.  The center conducted its inaugural Complex Coordinated Attack Theme Week in 2018\, and followed that with a Complex Coordinated Attack Theme Week earlier this year. \nThe second Complex Coordinated Attack Theme Week in 2020 is tentatively slated in June. \nCourses for the week include the CDP’s Healthcare Leadership for Mass Casualty Incidents and Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents.  The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Brunswick\, Georgia will also be on site\, delivering modules of its Active Shooter Threat Training Program. \nHospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents\nThe Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents (HERT) course addresses healthcare response at the operations level for the facility and its personnel. This three-day course prepares healthcare responders to utilize the Hospital Incident Command System — integrating into the community emergency response network while operating an Emergency Treatment Area as hospital first responders during a mass casualty incident involving patient contamination. The healthcare responders will determine and use appropriate personal protective equipment and conduct triage followed by decontamination of ambulatory and nonambulatory patients as members of a Hospital Emergency Response Team. \nHealthcare Leadership for Mass Casualty Incidents\nHealthcare Leadership for Mass Casualty Incidents is a four-day course that addresses disaster preparedness at the facility and system level. Healthcare leaders must be prepared for any incident that results in multiple casualties\, whether it is the result of a natural disaster; an accidental or intentional release of a chemical\, biological\, radiological\, nuclear\, or explosives (CBRNE) hazard; or a disease outbreak that results in an epidemic or pandemic. This course focuses on preparing healthcare leaders to make critical decisions in all-hazards disaster emergency preparedness activities. Responders learn essential disaster-planning response and recovery functions through lecture/discussion format that are then applied in a tabletop exercise and a two-day functional exercise. \nActive Shooter Threat Training Program\nThe Active Shooter Threat Training Program (ASTTP) is a 4 day course designed to provide the student with the knowledge and skills to successfully handle an active threat event. Through hands-on training\, this program will provide the student the proficiency and attitude to manage these situations. The program utilizes dynamic interactive drills and scenario based training to take Active Shooter Threat Tactics Training to the next level. This program is an intensive training program that covers a variety of tactical subject matters to include: individual and team movement and operational formation. In addition\, this program focuses on the role and responsibilities of the responding officers. \nHospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents – Basic Train-the-Trainer\nThe Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents-Basic\, Train-the-Trainer (HERT-B TtT) is a one-day course offered to healthcare responders who have successfully completed the HERT course. It prepares students to teach HERT at their facilities by focusing on presentation techniques\, practical applications\, and the preparation and maintenance of lesson plans. The HERT-B TtT course provides students with an understanding of the HERT course material to include team assignments and functions\, proper wear and removal of personal protective equipment\, decontamination procedures\, Emergency Treatment Area location selection\, and operation\, and victim triage.

Alison acts as the lab’s device liaison\, working with vendors to ensure that public safety features are addressed in impending device releases to allow PSCR to release cutting-edge technology for the future of public safety. Alison has 14 years of experience in the telecommunications industry. Before joining PSCR in 2016\, she worked on end to end device interoperability  programs for companies such as Motorola and Nokia. She also worked with commercial carriers to develop and implement carrier-specific and industry standard interoperability with the company’s network equipment. Alison’s education includes a Bachelor’s of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Colorado School of Mines. \nRichard Reed\, Aurora Firefighter / SWAT Medic \n\n\n\n\nRichard Reed is a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran\, business owner\, entrepreneur\, and Firefighter/Paramedic for the city of Aurora\, Colorado. Born and raised in San Jose\, California\, the heart of Silicon Valley\, Richard has technology and entrepreneurship in his blood. \nAfter his service in the Marine Corps and founding and running a successful business\, Richard turned his attention towards firefighting. During his tenure as a Firefighter/Paramedic with Aurora Fire Rescue\, Richard served as one of the first responders to arrive at the Aurora Theater Shooting and also served as the dedicated medic for the elite Aurora Police SWAT team. \nRichard’s career experience gives him unique expertise and knowledge in the technology used across the military\, police\, and fire domains. His in-depth understanding of the interactions between police and fire brings insights into the intricacies and complexities of interoperable communication. Richard understands the challenges in communication and the problems associated with inadequate technology and has a passion to find solutions to help bridge the technology and communication gap across the public safety sector. Richard is energized to see how the utilization of new innovations in technology will bring greater efficiency and safer ways to provide the best response for the citizens that are served. \nPeter Hallenbeck\, Efland Volunteer Fire Department \n\n\n\nPeter Hallenbeck has been with the Efland Volunteer Fire Department in Efland\, NIC since 1992. He is currently the Deputy Chief. The Department is in a somewhat rural area\, with a lot of “suburban commuters” that work in nearby Raleigh and Durham\, NC. The Department runs about 500 fire\, EMS\, and Rescue calls per year. I-40 runs through the center of the district; as such\, the call volume is a good mix of rural\, suburban and high speed interstate accidents. \nPeter’s “Day Job” for 40+ years has been as an embedded systems Electrical Engineer. The work has been with new start-ups designing hardware\, software\, and user interfaces. Peter also takes the hardware and sets up\, supervises\, and checks the manufacturing of the new systems. The software projects are from small embedded systems to high speed network routing and encryption systems. The projects have been in both consumer and commercial markets. \nPeter has also worked in patent litigation as an expert witness. He has 8 patents in various areas including one in responder-based map display systems. Since 2011\, Peter has worked full time on responder data management and display systems on his own. The system is being used in 10 PSAPs (Dispatch Centers) by about 30 departments for Fire and EMS. It supports paid\, mixed and all volunteer departments with special attention to volunteer departments in rural areas where budgets are tight and volunteer responders need technology on smart phones. Larger CAD systems tend to ignore individuals as resources. \nPeter is currently working on IoT solutions and standards. He is on the NPA 950/951 “Standards for Data Development and Exchange” committee. The goal is to have an end to end system so that the data standards have been tested by the “Boots on the Ground” responders. IoT efforts will not move forward without their stamp of approval.

SUMMARY:DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2) at Mobile World Congress Americas
DESCRIPTION:The DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2) aims to ensure that the exponentially growing number of military and civilian wireless devices will have full access to the increasingly crowded electromagnetic spectrum. \nToday\, access to the spectrum is managed by dividing it into rigid\, exclusively licensed bands. This human-driven process does not adapt to the dynamics of supply and demand\, and so it cannot exploit the full potential capacity of the spectrum. \nIn this first-of-its-kind collaborative machine-learning competition\, SC2 competitors will re-imagine new spectrum access strategies in which radio networks autonomously collaborate to dynamically determine how the radio frequency (RF) spectrum should be used moment to moment\, avoiding interference and jointly exploiting opportunities. SC2 teams will develop these breakthrough capabilities by taking advantage of recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning\, and the expanding capacities of software-defined radios. \n \nFollowing preliminary competitions in late 2017 and late 2018\, finalists will compete here for $3.75 million in cash prizes and\, more importantly\, to demonstrate that they have devised the best collaborative framework yet for making sure the spectrum will be able to accommodate the ever-growing demand to use it. \nDARPA announced on 12 Sep 2019 the final 10 teams to compete in the Spectrum Collaboration Challenge Championship Event: \n\nAndersons – an independent competitor\nDragon Radio – Drexel University\nErebus – a team of independent researchers\nGatorWings – University of Florida\nHow Make Radio – Agitator LLC\nMarmotE – Vanderbilt University\nSCATTER – IDLab\, an imec research group at Ghent University and University of Antwerp\, and Rutgers University\nSodium-24 – an independent competitor\nSprite – Northeastern University\nZylinium – a team of independent researchers\n\nThe live SC2 Championship Event will take place on the Keynote Stage at MWC 2019 Los Angeles. Grant Imahara\, well known for his work on the hit Discovery series MythBusters and Netflix series White Rabbit Project\, will serve as the master of ceremonies. Imahara will provide commentary alongside DARPA’s Paul Tilghman and GNU Radio Foundation president\, Ben Hilburn. The event will kick off at 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time and take the audience through several rounds of competition during which teams will be eliminated based on scores and performance. The finale is free to attend and open to all MWC 2019 Los Angeles attendees as well as the general public. \nAttendees who have an MWC 2019 Los Angeles three-day pass can indicate interest in attending the event at https://register.mwclosangeles.com/ by clicking “Programs” and selecting “DARPA SC2 Championship Event” under the programs list. The general public or those without a three-day pass may request a free\, one-day pass to the SC2 Championship Event by emailing SC2@darpa.mil. \nPlease visit the DARPA SC2 event website for more information.

SUMMARY:NIST/NIJ Evidence Management Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) will be hosting an Evidence Management Symposium on October 2-4\, 2019\, on the NIST Gaithersburg campus. \nSeveral factors have led to national attention on evidence management including problems in evidence rooms and scientific advancements in forensic science resulting in increased volumes of evidence being submitted and stored. The infrastructure and technology necessary to manage the growing amount of collected evidence has not improved and the lack of interoperability between stakeholders remains a challenge. \nThe two-day Evidence Management Symposium will focus on fostering awareness by sharing the state of the industry\, successes\, lessons learned\, and recommending best practices. The event will provide an opportunity for a candid discussion between law enforcement executives\, criminal justice practitioners\, policy makers\, and the legal community from around the nation on the important issues of evidence management. \nTopics covered will include evidence management in law enforcement\, courts\, hospitals\, and storage of digital evidence\, a standard for barcode software\, warehouse security\, the importance of inventories and audits\, legislative support\, statistical data\, and funding availabilities. \nPlease visit the NIST Evidence Management Symposium website for more information.
