HAVOC
Harmonized Analysis of Vehicles on Command
CHALLENGE
• Vehicles are terrorist’s delivery method of choice for bombs.
• Attacks facilitated by the uncontrolled use of vehicles
impact on the ability of United States to achieve its National
Security policy goals and objectives in the GWOT.
SOLUTION
• Create an expanded, policy – linked, technically implemented buffer
zone around headquarters complexes and other key assets.
VALUE
• Enables achieving National Security policy goals and objectives by:
• Controlling threats, thus
• Attenuating the perception of challenges to US objectives; and
• Reducing casualties

Technology
Hyper Spectral Analysis
TECHNICAL READINESS
• Base technology currently available
• MIRVed to fit HAVOC requirement
TECHNICAL CAPABLITY AND CHARACTERISTICS
•
•
•
•
Video tracking algorithms to produce a data package for each object
Simultaneously, produce remote biometric information for each object
Extract data from visible areas of the target for continuous updating
Provides the extra dimension to greatly enhance the tracking process.
COMMERCIAL APPLICATION
• Transportation hubs
• Industrial sites
• Government facilities
Technology
Hyper Spectral Analysis
APPROACH
•
Disruptive rapidly emerging technology
•
Interrogating remotely “colour” of a threat / target
1. Offers the potential for remote & covert identification of
humans – subject to infrastructure could use as an input
sensor to establish and maintain a large “keep out” zone
2. Offers the potential to provide an additional tracking
discriminant to increase system robustness
Current status – proof of concept hardware and software
are available for assessing identification concepts
Technology
Hyper Spectral Analysis
• Solution combines robust sequential Monte Carlo
(particle) filtering techniques with an innovative
approach to efficient data association
• Solution offers the potential to:
– Track hundreds of targets
– Address obscuration
– Integrate capabilities with multiple cameras
Technology
Hyper Spectral Analysis
IDENTIFICATION SOLUTIONS
• Stand-off biometric for security & access
control
– Assessment to date indicates skin
colour is unique to the individual
- like a fingerprint
– Provides a capability for
verification/identification which is:
• Non contact
• Independent of viewpoint & angle
• Covert
• Fast
• Potentially robust to
countermeasures
• An alternative to face recognition,
without the drawbacks
Measure & store signature
Technology
Hyper Spectral Analysis
TRACKING SOLUTIONS
• QinetiQ video tracking
algorithms to produce a data
package for each object
– Label
– Position
– Velocity vector
• Colour information is
produced for each object and
added to the data package
• Much greater resolution than
conventional RGB
• Ability to extract from all
visible areas of the target and
update continuously.
• Provides the extra dimension to greatly enhance the tracking process.
Technology
Hyper Spectral Analysis
Summary
•
Outlined a disruptive technology for
1. Remote identification system as a input sensor to the HAVOC
system
2. Provide the basis for additional input data for tracking
systems
•
Significantly increases system robustness
•
System available now for concept assessment
Employment Concept
POLICY
•
Establishes requirement for security “Smart Tag” for
• Vehicles entering proscribed areas or
• Vehicle classes having elevated threat potential, for example
• High Capacity Vehicles
• Tank Trucks
• Coalition Vehicles by Class
•
Driver/Vehicle registration establishes identity metrics
• Ownership
• Garaging location
• Digital pictures of owner, drivers and vehicles
• Paint, sound, and skin information
Employment Concept
OPERATIONALLY
•
•
•
On vehicle approach, GC identifies RSI and at least one additional
identification metric, passes to decision support system
Motion detectors advise of vehicles without RSI; video tracks and
establishes technical signature
Decision support system hands off vehicle tracking from camera
to camera
• Operations Center directs acquisition of “vehicles of interest”
• Decision support system provides likely future vehicle
position
• “Vehicles of interest” shunted into safe areas away from
buildings, check points, and personnel for further
interrogation
Employment Concept
SPOOF – PROOF?
Of course not – nothing is – BUT HAVOC
• Separates identified traffic from “vehicles of interest” at an
actionable distance
• Increases the complexity of problems terrorists must
resolve to deliver a vehicle bomb on target, thus
• Increases terrorist’s exposure and risk of discovery
• Reduces the risk to critical facilities, check points, and
personnel
• Facilitates free movement of identified traffic
An Employment Scenario
• PROVIDES:
• Early Identification
• Useable Decision Space
• Flexible Response Options

INGENUITY and IMAGINATION
Potential Market
EXPECTED USE / MARKET SIZE
• Security
• Monitoring
• Tracking
• Access control
• Size: Estimate 1,000 US sites – public and private sector
GEOGRAPHICS OF MARKET
• Applicable to protecting high value assets worldwide
EXPECTED ENHANCED CAPABILITY
• Adds “technical” buffer zone
• Alerts to “vehicles of interest” at “actionable” distances
COMPETITION
• None currently – New spin on emerging technology
Business Model
SUCCESS POTENTIAL
• RCI has significant experience implementing large, complex programs
• The HAVOC system will significantly reduce the success of vehiclebased attacks against critical assets
WHY
• RCI understands the requirements for the HAVOC program
• Provides expanded “technical stand-off” space prior to encountering
“physical stand-off”
• “Technical stand-off” space facilitates identification and tiered
engagement
• Requires a local official sign-off on registration; thus
• takes advantage of local knowledge,
• empowers local officials, and
• provides an audit trail of responsibility
