First Response: Familiar Solutions in a New Setting DOD Requirement First Responder application Situational Awareness Local officials, “first on the spot” responsibility for coordinating response Communications to mobile field teams; hub & spoke Disaster inventory; wildfires; extending response to outlying areas; COOP Communications-on-the “Second response” (i. e. , CBN incident, flooding) -move Mobile command post 9 Evolution from RV to SUV; responder & humanitarian comms

Issues to Watch • Federal Funding for First Responder Grants • DHS/USNORTHCOM assuming role in setting requirements • DHS/USNORTHCOM assuming role in aggregating requirements to obtain favorable bulk capacity rates • To support first responder community, solutions needed on… – Training – Education – Operability and interoperability – Integrating solutions • Balancing emerging solutions and current, critical needs • Voice AND data 10
