For example, at the request of Rep. Bill Shuster (R-Pa.), SEC<br />

presented an overview and demonstration in January 2012 on how<br />

JUMPS provides real-time border security and situational awareness<br />

on land and at sea. Shuster, a member of the House Armed Services<br />

Committee, requested information about JUMPS capabilities and<br />

support to Homeland Security and other homeland scenarios.<br />

Shuster was also briefed about JUMPS foreign military sales with<br />

Azerbaijan and expressed interest in using JUMPS as a possible<br />

railroad security solution for the Department of Transportation.<br />

“Thank-you guys for the superb work - it is awesome and is of<br />

great benefit to us,” said NTSB Representative Gary Helmer.<br />

<strong>Army</strong> Programs of Record<br />

SEC generated a training manual/material for the Radio<br />

Display Operator’s Position system. These documents<br />

were essential in training personnel from the Harbormaster<br />

Command and Control Center on system use. Because<br />

of this forward thinking, U.S. <strong>Army</strong> Program Manager<br />

Command Posts Systems and Integration funded SEC<br />

to participate on the Integrated Project Team providing<br />

systems engineering and training expertise from design to<br />

fielding and conduct RDOP Training for eight Harbormaster<br />

Active and Reserve Units.<br />

In 2011, SEC supported Program Executive Office for<br />

Command, Control and Communications - Tactical Special<br />

Project Office and SPAWAR San Diego on an effort with<br />

the European Command to perform systems engineering,<br />

facilities upgrades, sensor and communications network<br />

installation, and training that provided the Azerbaijan Navy<br />

with upgraded security capabilities for the Caspian Sea.<br />

SEC coordinated the relocation of all JUMPS equipment<br />

installed previously at the Command and Control Center<br />

to an interim location while preserving its operability and<br />

sustainability. SEC also designed, tested and installed a<br />

wireless network comprised of phones at more than 34<br />

locations; a paging system and very high frequency radio<br />

integration with associated training for both the Azerbaijan<br />

Navy and Air Force.<br />

Hazardous Material Cleanup<br />

SEC provided assistance to the USCG/<br />

NTSB monitoring an oil spill in April<br />

of 2012 at the Paulsboro, New Jersey<br />

refinery and for the December 2012<br />

train derailment and subsequent vinyl<br />

chloride leak in Paulsboro, N.J.<br />

For the Paulsboro Refinery oil spill SEC<br />

provided a remote site to monitor an<br />

emergency containment area holding<br />

approximately 157,000 barrels (6.6<br />

million gallons) of spilled oil, giving them<br />

24/7 coverage due to its renewable<br />

energy capability, said Caswell. Since<br />

JUMPS remote sensor node’s GPS,<br />

weather, AIS and camera sensors<br />

are powered by a windmill and solar<br />

panels, it allowed safe positioning close<br />

to the containment area for effective<br />

monitoring. SEC reconfigured the<br />

remote site to provide the video stream<br />

directly to the USCG/NTSB command<br />

center collocated with the refinery’s<br />

command center.<br />

JUMPS is yet another example of<br />

<strong>CECOM</strong> SEC’s continual dedication<br />

to produce high quality, innovative,<br />

cost-effective solutions supporting our<br />

national security at home and abroad,<br />

said Caswell.<br />
