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.
Quantum Research International, Inc. (QRI) participated as an exhibitor
at the National League of Cities Congress of Cities and Exposition,
9 – 13 December 2003, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention
Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The theme for the 2003 Congress
and Exposition was “America’s Cities on Stage: From the
Front Porch to the Front Line.” Special emphasis this year
was placed on local Homeland Security implementation.
QRI exhibited the TEAM system for conference delegates, consisting
of mayors, city council members and other local government officials
from across the country. The Congress of Cities and Exposition was
attended by approximately 3000 attendees, plus family members. Over
300 companies exhibited their goods and services. Bob Belton, Tactical
Emergency Asset Management (TEAM) system Project Manager, and Frank
Cox, System Integrator, manned the exhibit.
Response to the capabilities of the TEAM system was very positive.
Mayors and city council members from across the USA as well as other
exhibitors stopped by for extended discussions concerning the TEAM
system’s capabilities; many returned for a second visit.
The Quantum First Response T.E.A.M. system arrived on the scene
with other security and defense exhibitors at the technology demonstration
at Fort Monroe October, 2003. Wireless alarm systems, chem/bio/nuc
detectors, a portable "watchtower," a trailer-mounted
FLIR, Quantum's portable command post were among the latest technologies
showcased to officials at the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command,
as well as other local military installations. The Fort Monroe Fire
Department, NEXTEL, EDS, and other attendees visited the T.E.A.M.
vehicle with great interest. The local press noted Quantum's Tactical
Emergency Asset Management system in the "Hampton Roads Daily
Press" as a solution to "the biggest challenge the military
faces in many situations...just making sure its communications systems
are compatible" (Michael Fabey, Daily Press, 2003).
