Simulated Action Group called to address threat emergency
Remote participants networked into integral effort using web-based tools
Demonstration Initiation
You have been asked to participate in this emergency planning exercise because of your in-depth experience in the threat that has just been confirmed. In the next few minutes you will receive briefing and background material on this threat. After this introduction is over, I want you to describe how we plan to address this emergent problem, and for an Action Group to develop response planning that can be executed by both our military and civil emergency forces. It is critical that we address this situation in with an integrated plan that represents the results of your collaboration. An intelligence briefing follows this introduction. Depending on how you are participating in this conference, you can have video teleconferencing, an audio telcon, or can read the fax copy we have sent you. The briefing consist s of both Intelligence and Technical presentations.

Simulated Intelligence report
States emergence of threat
Establishes the context for all remaining activity
CLASSIFIED
TO: Members of the Concept Action Group
FROM: Director, Intelligence
Subject: Emergence of Immediate Terrorist State Threat to North
America
This memorandum outlines recent intelligence information that has
been made available to this organization.
A terrorist state, supported by a know multi-state terrorist group
has obtained, and is planning to use, a crude missile capability.
This capability consists of a turbo-prop airliner (a Beech 1900 commuter
plane) with Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation and autopilot.
With the fuel it has been modified to carry, it is capable of launching
from the middle east and reaching North America.
Our information is that the aircraft will carry weapons of mass
destruction, of either a chemical or biological nature. We have
confirmed that they have probably obtained both types, and have the
willingness to use them.
Their intent is to demonstrate that they can hold the entire
population of both the U.S. and Canada at risk, and to retaliate for
perceived interference with allied ethnic interests in the Balkans. We
believe that they intend to attack a target in North Western New York,
to threaten Canada, and target deployment support resources at Fort
Drum.
It is important that all involved understand that it is possible that
interception of this aircraft will have a significant impact on the
surrounding populations. The agents present in this weapon may not be
destroyed in an interception, and could be even more widely distributed.
Of course we will pass on any additional information we obtain to the
Group.

Stresses collaborative requirements explicitly
Points to a set of resources that have been prepositioned to support the team's interaction.
CLASSIFIED
TO: Members of the Concept Action Group
FROM: Source Classified
Subject: Response Strategy to Address the Emergence of Immediate
Terrorist State Threat to North America.
This memorandum outlines your responsibilities as a member of the
Response Strategy Action Group.
Your group must develop a strategy that can drive the actions
that U.S. and Canadian civil and military leadership must take to
minimize the damage that a cruise missile could inflict on the two
nations. The team you are on includes both military and civil
organization representation so that we can best integrate a national
response.
In performing this task, It is important that you to maintain
liaison with the North American Aerospace Defense Command, which is
responsible for the military aspect of this mission, as well as civil
authorities in the effected regions. It is important that we have a
collaborative solution that all participants are ready to perform.
Of course we will pass on any additional information we obtain to
your group.

Full HTML Index
Users will have choice of running as a Command Center or as a collaborative terminal (the NPAC Control Application).
Both options support similar tools
  • Difference is in flexibility of open environment vs. the fixed Command Center framework
After detection, some users will be able to switch to the Command Center framework, and then back to the open CA.
