  partners, and other sensors to support the common
  operating picture
• Management of user identities, rights, and
  authorities
• Distribution of intelligence products
• Information sharing within and across sectors on
  terrorist threats
• Improvement of situational awareness and decision
  support including technologies that provide
  automated, dynamic, real-time data processing and
  visualization capability
• Situational awareness between Coast Guard and
  partners with focus on maritime and law
  enforcement information-sharing protocols
• Predictive analytics including the ability to
  correlate data and information for recognizing
  and predicting terrorist attack patterns
• Protection of U.S. citizen personal data
  including anonymizing personally identifiable
  data
• Improved cross-agency reporting of suspicious
  activity including technologies to improve
  real-time awareness
• DHS ST Lead Command, Control Interoperability
  Division

  improving accuracy in multi-level buildings and
  challenging environments (emergency responder 3-D
  locator system)
• Personnel monitoring capability during incidents
  (real-time physiological monitoring of
  firefighters)
• Incident management enterprise system aimed at
  increasing situational awareness to manage
  available and anticipated human and material
  resources, transportation capabilities, and the
  need for timely information to support critical
  decisions involving rapidly shifting priorities
• Logistics management tool including technologies
  to effectively manage critical resources and
  provide improved situational awareness at all
  levels of government
• DHS ST Lead Infrastructure Geophysical Division

12
