Northrop Grumman Supports LAPD Command Post Operations at Special Olympics World Games
October 01 2015 - 11:00AM
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has announced the
successful test of its Tactical Incident Management System (TIMS)
in a proof of concept with the Los Angeles Police Department
(LAPD). The testing was carried out in support of the LAPD during
multiple special events, culminating with a comprehensive 8-day
test during the Special Olympics World Games from opening to
closing ceremonies. The goal of the proof of concept was to provide
the LAPD with a streamlined incident response system that is
applied in real-time and tailored to their mission.
"The pilot program was started to work closely with the LAPD to
better understand their mission and tailor our solution to help
them save time, automate and electronically track their resources
and to provide the useful efficiencies needed to do their job
better," said Ed Sturms, vice president and general manager, civil
division, Northrop Grumman.
TIMS offers a web-based suite of tools and modules that provide
unparalleled capabilities to agencies like the LAPD that deploy
incident management teams in response to planned and unplanned
special events. The solution enables single and unified planning
and provides the ability to effectively plan and manage any
scheduled or emergency events using FEMA Incident Command System
protocols and forms to mitigate protracted, manual paper-driven
processes.
"We are proud to have supported the LAPD in the execution and
management of these significant events and provide an intuitive
solution that proved to be an immediate asset to their mission,"
Sturms concluded.
Northrop Grumman partnered with Denver-based, Incident Response
Technologies Inc. (IRT), leveraging their cloud-based incident
response and management technology and drawing on IRT's Rhodium™
Incident Management Suite – a software that can be accessed via
computers or mobile devices. In addition, as part of a full
spectrum event planning and management solution, Northrop Grumman
incorporated BioSled, Northrop Grumman's Android powered biometrics
application for check-in and checkout, and e.POWER©, Northrop
Grumman's business process management platform for workflow
processing.
"The ability to collaborate with Northrop Grumman, a global
security leader, has been an excellent experience," said Jarret
Winkelman, IRT President. "The TIMS solution illustrates the
substantial leap in incident management tools that continue to
benefit public safety agencies in planning, managing and reporting
for all types of events and incidents."
