GSN 2015 DIGITAL YEARBOOK OF AIRPORT/SEAPORT/BORDER SECURITY AWARDS RECIPIENTS Best Integrated Security Programs Emergency Response Technology, LLC 2015 Winner Awards Category: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Best Integrated Harbor Security Program Name of Nominated Product, Service, or Program: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Integrated Harbor Security Program for the Port of Greater Baton Rouge Reason this entry deserves to win: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– According to the American Association of Port Authorities, the Lower Mississippi River (LMR), where the Port of Greater Baton Rouge operates, provides transportation for over 45% of all energy resources and more than 60% of all U.S. commerce, making it the most critical and at the same time vulnerable critical infrastructure in the U.S. Each day that the transportation of maritime commerce on the LMR is interrupted costs the U.S. economy over $275 million per day, and international commerce over $500 million per day. A tanker cut a barge into 2 pieces in 2008, releasing 419,000 gallons of diesel and shutting down the LMR for 11 days. This interruption of transportation of maritime commerce on the LMR created a loss of over $3 billion to the U.S. economy and $6 billion to international commerce (www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/25/mississippi.spill/). But without an emergency response capability for secondary emergencies, the collision could have been much worse. The tanker had just uploaded approximately 3 million gallons of Styrene monomer, a compound that reacts with itself in “autopolymerization”. If this had happened, the tanker would have exploded with the force of from 3 to 5 times that of the truck bomb used in Oklahoma City in 1995, causing extensive collateral damage and closing the river much longer. The Emergency Response Technology (ERT) IHSP is designed to autonomously detect and report multiple threats simultaneously using both active and passive advanced sensors using surveillance software. Chemical releases from either accidents or intentional acts of terrorism at 58
or near the Port of Greater Baton will affect local public health and interrupt the transportation of maritime commerce, not only on the LMR, but also at the Port Allen lock of the strategic Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) located at the port, as well as overseas transportation of maritime commerce. The IHSP will provide CONOPS, situational awareness, and enhance chemical security and response for the Port of Greater Baton using integrated orthogonal chemical sensors. “Orthogonal” means that multiple sensor methodologies will be deployed to reduce false/positive detection. ERT CEO George Lane also teaches Homeland Security program at Tulane University. For portable chemical monitoring at the port, the IHSP will deploy Differential Mobility Spectrometry (DMS) sensors in JUNO ® , developed by Chemring Sensors & Electronic Systems for JCAD-2. As a tunable ion sensor DMS separates, detects, and measures individual chemicals in complex mixtures. Portable chemical detectors will also be deployed in maritime emergency response vessels operating on the LMR. For fixed chemical monitoring and scanning of chemical releases at a distance of up to 5 km, the IHSP will utilize the RAPID (Remote Air Pollution Infrared Detector) chemical detector, developed by Bruker Detection for deployment on the military’s Stryker reconnaissance vehicle. RAPID uses a Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) sensor which identifies the characteristic “fingerprint” signatures of chemicals. Sophisticated software discriminates against interferences, avoids false alarms, and can determine the origin of the release. When deployed, the ERT IHSP will protect both public health and critical infrastructure around the port, and mitigate the interruption of domestic maritime commerce on the LMR and GIWW, and international maritime commerce overseas.
