Test and Evaluation

The PDC has provided operational support for an (unclassified) integrated multi-hazard monitoring, early warning and decision support system, called RAPIDS, for the Department since 2007. The system is frequently used by Combatant Commands (CCMD), particularly INDOPACOM and SOUTHCOM, for current operations, exercises, HA/DR missions. and was selected as one of the most effective systems in a position paper by the Department, reviewing all unclassified information sharing systems. “Expanded use of RAPIDS across the DoW at the Combatant Commands, Joint Task Force, and by deployed units from the services” was identified as ”a primary Joint Staff objective” in a memorandum dated July 6, 2017. RAPIDS and PDC advanced analytics and data sets are leveraged across DoW for strategic planning, risk intelligence, impact modeling, strategic competition, and critical asset protection.

Program detail

Mission & acquisition strategy

The Pacific Disaster Center (PDC) Risk Analytics and Readiness program is a public/private partnership managed by the University of Hawaii under a cooperative agreement with the DoW. It is functionally within the organization of the Office of the Under Secretary of War(Policy) (OUSW(P)) as Principal Staff Assistant (PSA) and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for program management. The PDC is a world-recognized authority and leader in science and information technology applications relating to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HA/DR), including real-time assessments, predictive analysis, and disaster risk reduction.

PDC projects beyond the baseline Situational Awareness & Decision Support Applications/Tools architecture (DisasterAWARE Pro/RAPIDS) undertaken in support of the DoW Cooperative Agreement (CA) with the University of Hawaii (UH) are from PDC customers (e.g., DoW, NGOs, other nations, academia, and industry). The PDC prepares the public, disaster managers, governments, and others to mitigate the effects of disasters. The goal is to have people and technology work together to preserve life, safeguard livelihoods, and protect property to foster disaster-resilient communities. Projects obtained and funded from this customer base serve to determine PDC product and services relevancy.
