Abstract :
A concept for effective waterside security has been developed and demonstrated. It is based on the integration of command, control, and communications with assessment (C3A). Multiple detection and assessment devices are linked by computer, and the C3A operator is provided with an up-to-date situation map and relevant assessment imagery. Standard security doctrine is incorporated into system software to aid in rapid threat classification and to provide an appropriate response. The concept is sufficiently flexible to adapt to the wide range of sensor technologies and site variations needed for waterside security. The C3A concept has been validated in a US-Navy-designated configuration at an operational base. The design criteria and the specific configuration used for evaluation are described
