Abstract :
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T) and are working together, in collaboration with MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) to modernize and transform the existing Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) Toolkit into an agile enterprise platform for integrating existing and future capabilities in support of HSEEP. The architecture for the new HSEEP enterprise platform (HSEEP-EP) focuses on a service oriented approach that relies on emerging web-based technologies to create an innovative and flexible platform for the development and consumption of HSEEP capabilities. This paper provides a technical description of the architecture, core services, and methods for interfacing with architecture components. This paper will also discuss concepts for fielding and transitioning the new HSEEP Toolkit to DHS and State/Local communities.
