Threat Response Management System (TRMS)

This paper describes the motivations, concept Of operation, and architecture of a Threat Response Management System (TRMS)-an information-integrated, dynamically reconfigure-able, simulation-based decision support system that is deployable as (i) a dynamic planning and threat readiness training tool and (ii) an emergency response execution decision support tool. IRMS functions include (i) automated threat detection, (ii) collaborative (multi-national and multi-agency) plan development, (iii) social network representation and analysis, and (iv) agent-based simulation and optimization. Components of the IRMS solution are currently being developed and tested through an ongoing Navy-funded research project.
