Threat response management system (TRMS)

We describe the motivations, concept of operation, and architecture of a threat response management system (TRMS): an information-integrated, dynamically reconfigurable, 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. TRMS functions include (i) automated threat detection, (ii) collaborative (multinational and multiagency) plan development, (iii) social network representation and analysis, and (iv) agent-based simulation and optimization. Components of the TRMS solution are currently being developed and tested through an ongoing Navy-funded research project.
