Three T.E.A.M. systems deployed across the country to participate in Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID) 2007. CWID is an annual Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff exercise focused on interoperability between allies. This year CWID included a special focus on Homeland Security. The T.E.A.M. systems set up operations from Charleston, SC (Palmetto CWID), Elkins and Charleston, WV (Mountaineer CWID), and the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) in San Diego, CA.
The T.E.A.M. systems responded to a series of simulated natural disasters and terrorist attacks, providing situational awareness and status updates from their location to local and state operations centers. The systems provided interoperable communications for first responders and “reach-back” communications and live video to higher-level emergency operations centers including the Northern Command (NORTHCOM) CWID operations center in Colorado Springs, CO.
All three T.E.A.M. systems performed flawlessly throughout the CWID exercise. Not only did they provide their full spectrum of capabilities at their local incident scenes, but the systems were in constant communication across the country via live video feeds, radio, and audio/video chat over satellite links. The CWID 2007 Final Report identified the Quantum T.E.A.M. system as “one of the Most Promising Technologies of 2007.” Read the full press release. |
All eight Alabama Regional Incident Support Units (ARISU) participated in three days of training and exercise in Fort Payne, Alabama, 6-8 March 2007. The operators and units self-deployed to Ft. Payne where the participated in two days of training, followed by a deployment exercise. Following refresher training and new equipment training, on day three all ARISU operators were given a deployment mission. They were given a location to which they were to go. Their missions were to set up their ARISU systems, become operational, and communicate with the exercise headquarters via radio, data, and live video feed – all within two hours. All eight units accomplished their assigned missions successfully within the designated time. |
In the summer of 2006, Quantum Research International, Inc. installed an interoperable communications suite in the Alabama Department of Public Safety (Highway Patrol) Mobile Command Post. The suite of equipment matches the equipment in the eight Alabama Regional Incident Support Units (ARISU) deployed regionally across Alabama, ensuring that this system is fully interoperable with ARISU anywhere in the state. The Mobile Command Post has satellite internet connectivity, a radio bridge system, a suite of 15 radios, 10 workstations, eight plasma displays, satellite television and a tilt/pan/zoom camera providing live streaming video via the internet. The Mobile Command Post can also downlink video from the State Patrol helicopter and relay that live video over the internet. |
On November 4th and 5th, the Quantum Research International TEAM System participated in the 2004 Tennessee Valley Corridor Homeland Security Summit in Somerset, Kentucky. The Summit theme was “Technology: Linking Homeland Security and Hometown Prosperity.” Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge was the Keynote Speaker. The Summit was hosted by Congressman Harold “Hal” Rogers, Kentucky’s 5th District Congressman. The Team System was part of an interactive demonstration as an ongoing effort of the Tennessee Valley Homeland Security Coalition. For the first time, the TEAM System was integrated with a tent, creating an Incident Command Post. The interactive demonstration featured a wireless situational awareness feed from the TEAM System outside the Center for Rural Development complex into a fixed emergency operations center replica set up inside the center. |
The seventh annual Space and Missile Defense Conference and Exhibition was held in Huntsville, Alabama’s Von Braun Center from 16 to 19 August 2004 with record turnout. Quantum was asked by the U.S. Army’s Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) to provide internet connectivity for the USASMDC temporary Operations Center within the Von Braun Center from the Quantum TEAM system mobile emergency communications platform. The internet connection provided by Quantum ensured that USASMDC leaders maintained data communications during the Space and Missile Defense Conference. |
On 27 August 2004 the TEAM system capabilities were demonstrated for Governor Riley and his cabinet during a visit to the Alabama Emergency Operations Center in Clanton, Alabama. The TEAM system demonstrated the ability to provide full-spectrum communications at an incident scene with voice and data connectivity to a fixed-site installation, such as a state or regional emergency operations center.

In September Quantum was asked to support the (Joint Land Attack Elevated Netted Sensor (JLENS) Program Office during a demonstration of how blimps and aerostats could be used to support Homeland Security enhancements. The TEAM system was located near the JLENS ground station and took the video feed from an airborne blimp and posted it to a web site using the TEAM system satellite internet connection. This technology enables situational awareness to be provided to decision-makers and operations centers virtually anywhere in the world from the scene of a major emergency situation. |
Quantum Research was asked to support Huntsville area Law Enforcement agencies for the Eric Rudolph Change of Venue hearing at the U.S. Federal Court House in Huntsville, Alabama on 22 June 2004. Quantum responded in conjunction with Sharp Communication to provide interoperable voice communications between radio systems that are normally unable to talk to each other. Quantum provided the radio bridge that enabled the Huntsville Police Department, the City of Madison Police Department, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshall Service to use their own radios within a common radio net. Quantum also made available high-speed satellite internet access, a wireless access point and video surveillance for law enforcement personnel. |
