Information Sharing Challenges

“….following the attacks on the NY World Trade Center towers, engineers knew 15 to 20 minutes beforehand that the towers would collapse, but couldn’t notify on-scene personnel…..Defense personnel, first responders, police, firefighters, rescue workers do not have the ability to communicate and share information…. This is true then and now...Benjamin Riley, ADSECDEF

“…Existing DoD guidance on establishing information sharing agreements with Federal, state local authorities does not mandate action or clear standards….such agreements need to include allied, partner agencies and other critical mission partners, with clearly established standards regarding scope and timeliness of formal information sharing….OSD, Final Report Aug 18, 2010 on Information Sharing Efforts Outside DoD

Information Sharing ChallengesLessons Learned from the Haiti Relief Efforts:

“ In Humanitarian Relief and Disaster Relief efforts, we need to provide critical data and information sharable with the host government, civil society and affected populations (in local languages) in order to strengthen host country capacities, leverage local expertise, gain their input, involve them in coordination and empower them.

“With so much information coming in from different sources, it is critical that this data includes essential meta-data (source, date-stamp, geo-reference) and adheres to the Principles of Humanitarian Information Management, i.e. accessibility, accountability, impartiality, inclusiveness, interoperability, relevance, sensitivity, sustainability, timeliness and verifiability…”

“Simply making enormous amounts of data and information available and introducing new technologies is not enough to ensure efficient coordination and effective decision-making. Strong management, proper resourcing, advanced training and recognized standards and policies are necessary to take full advantage of data and information for strategic analysis and operational applications.”

IMISAS OverviewProblem StatementProblem StatementMilitary and civilian actors lack a coherent framework / capability to

information share and collaborate across multiple domains with other actors primarily due to a lack of procedures, business rules, restrictive policies and non-interoperable networks and systems

Workshop DescriptionWorkshop DescriptionIdentify information sharing gaps and issues and examine potential solutions

to be explored via experimentation

ObjectivesObjectives• Develop a community of interest

• Identify and validate challenges: information sharing business rules, policies and procedures, existing technology

• Compare existing architectures and discuss potential new architectureIMPACT: Improved information sharing can aid in increasing the effectiveness of a broad range of operations where military and civilian

actors are engaged by facilitating consultation and possible cooperation
