Crisis Management Simulation (CMS

Product highlights (

UNITECH’s Crisis Management Simulation (CMS) is a technology-based, facilitated approach to delivering and analyzing training exercises for coordinating incident command, continuity of operations, and responder actions. CMS exercises provide a critical decision simulation environment that allows users to clearly identify shortfalls in planning, training, and operational policies and procedures.

Company highlights

In its most recent exercise simulation, UNITECH hosted a South Carolina regional exercise with over 1,000 participants, 53 agencies, and five venues, including a vessel in the Port of Charleston, a chemical plant, and hospitals. The purpose was to assess readiness to incidents involving chemical, radiological, and high-yield explosive attacks.

Session Highlights

A brief introduction and overview will be followed by an interactive multi-media simulation of an attack on a port. This simulation exercise will use participants from agencies that must react in these situations to show how Crisis Management Simulation scenarios can prepare workers for appropriate responses. Audience participation is encouraged.

Speaker Background

Mr. Paul Pluta, Senior Vice President of UNITECH, has more than 36 years of Coast Guard experience where he was the assistant commandant for Marine Safety, Security, and Environmental Protection. He also served as the senior agency official for three major operational programs—marine safety, maritime security and environmental protection. Mike Michel is a UNITECH Program Manager with over 25 years experience in instructional technologies and presentation techniques. He currently manages a contract at the FBI Academy College of Analytical Studies where a recent class of students used scenario simulations to test their analysis skills and response to terrorist threats.

Organization Background

Stations Of Robotic Monitoring (STORM)

Product highlights

ECBC has developed a mobile biological testing capability with the new Stations of Robotic Monitoring (STORM) system. Based upon the very successful Automated Biological Agent Testing System, or ABATS, the STORM is a completely self-contained and mobile high-throughput automated biological testing system. Housed in a 28-foot trailer, the STORM can be towed by conventional light-duty trucks to any remote location, where it can conduct rapid analysis of biological threat agents, pathogens and toxins. Powered by a 30,000-watt generator and equipped with sophisticated air handling systems, the STORM is truly self-sufficient.

STORM utilizes robotics, sophisticated assays and off-the-shelf analytic equipment to automate the complex biological analysis process, which pays huge dividends in efficiency and safety. When staffed with two technicians, the STORM can process approximately 150 samples per day, testing for seven unique threat agents simultaneously. To achieve the same results using classic microbiology techniques would require six laboratories and twelve technicians. In addition, STORM’s robotics enable parallel preparation and analysis of 98 samples. A traditional laboratory setting can accommodate only 10 samples at the same time.

The STORM, which operates at Biological Safety Level 2 standards, allows for fast elimination of the 98 percent of test results that come back negative, leaving confirmatory testing for the 2 percent appearing to be positive. The high-throughput structure of the STORM reduces strain on labs that conduct confirmatory testing, such as ECBC’s Biological Safety Level 3 facility, which performs more labor intensive tests.

The STORM will join ECBC’s wide ranging of chemical and biological service offerings during 2004

Crisis Management Simulation (CMS

Product highlights (

UNITECH’s Crisis Management Simulation (CMS) is a technology-based, facilitated approach to delivering and analyzing training exercises for coordinating incident command, continuity of operations, and responder actions. CMS exercises provide a critical decision simulation environment that allows users to clearly identify shortfalls in planning, training, and operational policies and procedures.

Company highlights

In its most recent exercise simulation, UNITECH hosted a South Carolina regional exercise with over 1,000 participants, 53 agencies, and five venues, including a vessel in the Port of Charleston, a chemical plant, and hospitals. The purpose was to assess readiness to incidents involving chemical, radiological, and high-yield explosive attacks.

Session Highlights

A brief introduction and overview will be followed by an interactive multi-media simulation of an attack on a port. This simulation exercise will use participants from agencies that must react in these situations to show how Crisis Management Simulation scenarios can prepare workers for appropriate responses. Audience participation is encouraged.

Speaker Background

Mr. Paul Pluta, Senior Vice President of UNITECH, has more than 36 years of Coast Guard experience where he was the assistant commandant for Marine Safety, Security, and Environmental Protection. He also served as the senior agency official for three major operational programs—marine safety, maritime security and environmental protection. Mike Michel is a UNITECH Program Manager with over 25 years experience in instructional technologies and presentation techniques. He currently manages a contract at the FBI Academy College of Analytical Studies where a recent class of students used scenario simulations to test their analysis skills and response to terrorist threats.

Organization Background

Our Homeland Security focus incorporates the best of computer training, simulations, maritime security solutions, and information technology services. For over a decade, UNITECH has provided Homeland Security-related solutions to all branches of the military, as well as local, state and federal agencies to help keep our nation safe.

Stations Of Robotic Monitoring (STORM)

Product highlights

ECBC has developed a mobile biological testing capability with the new Stations of Robotic Monitoring (STORM) system. Based upon the very successful Automated Biological Agent Testing System, or ABATS, the STORM is a completely self-contained and mobile high-throughput automated biological testing system. Housed in a 28-foot trailer, the STORM can be towed by conventional light-duty trucks to any remote location, where it can conduct rapid analysis of biological threat agents, pathogens and toxins. Powered by a 30,000-watt generator and equipped with sophisticated air handling systems, the STORM is truly self-sufficient.

STORM utilizes robotics, sophisticated assays and off-the-shelf analytic equipment to automate the complex biological analysis process, which pays huge dividends in efficiency and safety. When staffed with two technicians, the STORM can process approximately 150 samples per day, testing for seven unique threat agents simultaneously. To achieve the same results using classic microbiology techniques would require six laboratories and twelve technicians. In addition, STORM’s robotics enable parallel preparation and analysis of 98 samples. A traditional laboratory setting can accommodate only 10 samples at the same time.

The STORM, which operates at Biological Safety Level 2 standards, allows for fast elimination of the 98 percent of test results that come back negative, leaving confirmatory testing for the 2 percent appearing to be positive. The high-throughput structure of the STORM reduces strain on labs that conduct confirmatory testing, such as ECBC’s Biological Safety Level 3 facility, which performs more labor intensive tests.

The STORM will join ECBC’s wide ranging of chemical and biological service offerings during 2004
