MSA Gap Analysis Training & Material 10 OCTOBER 2013 CDR (TUR N) Mahmut KARAGOZ
Current MSA Gaps Training No training plan is in place (either a formal course or on the job training). Information sharing in the interagency arena requires specific procedures that differ from (military) communication standard procedures. Newly developed (NATO) MSA policy & procedures and adjusted technology should formally and systematically be educated and trained to ensure performance continuity and achieve operational effectiveness. Education & Training & Exercises are institutional and organizational
Current MSA Gaps Training MSA is not part of Navies traditional training Majority of the staff don t have previous experience National training centers are not yet covering this requirement Not enough training centers Legal issues/implications are not clear/part of training program Local specialties/knowledge is lacking Joint SA not covered
Current MSA Gaps Training HUMINT aspect is not considered Exercises are not addressing MSA directly Other agencies and merchant shipping needs training as well even bigger problem LL/LI are not available to improve training Different systems require specific training Cyber vulnerabilities are not addressed sufficiently New threats needs to be addressed cyber, environment, underwater, etc.
Capability Needs & Requirements Training Train and exercise MSA (practices for info sharing) Develop & coordinate a training plan (courses/on the job training) Increase training centers Develop a comprehensive training program to include standards, procedures, legal, intell, HUMINT, new threats and joint SA A Maritime Standing Task to maintain the network through exercises National exercise should be used for capability based training Exercises to include inter-agency and non-nato partner participation Development and use of Synthetic Exercises and Training Exercises to be used to improve interoperability and standardization On the spot exercise & training Optimize and include LI/LL to the training programs
Current MSA Situation What is? Material Decreasing terrestrial sensor information MSA about small ships at sea (<300ts) caused by insufficient, shrinking number of sensors available at sea; platform centric data gathering MSA identification primarily relies on AIS; limited capability for positive identity verification -challenges such as dhows that are not carrying AIS Little use of space-based sensors
Current MSA Situation What is? Material Nationally or organizationally procured MIS/C2/C4I equipment & systems Independent information systems Technology dos not support networked MSA
MSA organizations with own C2/C4I/MIS/ICT/FMN/FMIS MSSIS: Unclassified Maritime Safety and Security Information Sharing System (AIS data from nearly 70 nations) EMSA: European Maritime Safety Agency NACGF: North Atlantic Coast Guard Forum SUCBAS: Sea Surveillance Cooperation Baltic Sea T/V-RMTC: Trans-/Virtual-Regional Maritime Traffic Centre MARCOM: NATO Maritime Command OGMSA: US Office of Global Maritime Situational Awareness JIATF: US-lead Joint Interagency Task Force in the Caribbean Sea MSCHOA: Maritime Security Centre Horn of Africa established by EUNAVFOR MARSUR: Maritime Surveillance FRONTEX: European Agency for the Management od operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the European Union CFCA: Community Fisheries Control Agency APS: African Partnership Station covering Golf of Guinea ReCAAP: Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia OBSHCPC: Operation Black Sea Harmony Center for Permanent Coordination
Sensor information from AIS: Automatic Identification System LRIT Long range identification and tracking IFF Radar Visual S-AIS Satellite AIS SAR-Sats SAR satellites Radar-Sats Radar satellites Global Coverage
Current MSA Gaps Material No political motivation exist to provide assets and other resources to collect and disseminate information. No action plan for sharing and optimization of all available resources (satellites, coastal radars, military assets,...). Technical difficulty in interfacing the systems. Maritime communication architecture needs to be enhanced to a Maritime Mission Network to enable stakeholders effectively participate in MSA/MSO. The sensor based network must be enhanced by satellite based AIS and radar, as well more associated support units and the regular participation of airborne assets (AWCS and MPA) and UAVs.
Current MSA Gaps Material Each organization has/wants its own system Systems not compatible Designed to receive data not distribute Maritime environment and capabilities has restrictions Joint SA still immature information beyond the sea AIS information not reliable & majority good guys Feed maritime C2 decision making tool
Capability Needs & Requirements Material (Assets & Equipment) Full sea coverage through sufficient number & distribution of sensors 100% information sharing of all data gathered and available among stakeholders Pooling of resources Develop, maintain, and advance technology AIS limitations Effective use of space/satellites, coastal radars, unmanned systems, joint assets Achieve joint SA - information beyond the sea Connectivity between the relevant networks network of networks to achieve full information coverage
Capability Needs & Requirements Material (Assets & Equipment) Assets to asses the information provided Deployable MSA team/equiment Open architecture systems to allow software updates Applications to achieve interoperability Programs and equipment for optimal integration of information Harmonization of existing systems
