FEMA Office of National Capital Region Coordination (NCRC) chose the Papal Visit to Washington as an opportunity to evaluate advanced collaboration and command and control technologies. By using Ordia Solutions’ Mobile Tactical Collaboration System, NCRC, Washington DC Homeland Security Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) and Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) personnel experienced an unprecedented level of inter-agency information sharing, as they were able to develop and share multiple operating plans in real-time between the City’s Emergency Operations Center, MPD's Joint Operations Command Center, and several mobile command vehicles at various venues. Additionally, using AdvanTraq GPS, commanders and supervisors were able to track locations of first-responders in and around Nationals Stadium in real-time using digital maps, personnel location-based services and shared workspaces.
“During emergencies and Special Security Events, real-time information
sharing with multiple federal, state and local agencies is critical and
at times, extremely challenging", said Christopher Geldart, Director,
FEMA Office of National Capital Region Coordination. "The exercise
with NCRC, HSEMA, MPD and Ordia Solutions during the Papal Visit
demonstrated a capability that can enhance the region's abilities in
this critical area.”

“The integrated MTCS/AdvanTraq solution shows its utility as a tactical
information sharing tool to enhance the effectiveness of multi-agency
teams tasked with securing high-profile special events” said Joe E.
Ordia, Chairman and CEO, Ordia Solutions. “Whatever the
collaboration-based mission – securing special events, searching for a
missing child, tracking fugitives, coordinating/executing mass
evacuations, protecting critical infrastructures, escorting
dignitaries, executing simultaneous raids or other tactical operations,
if it involves multiple personnel and venues across a wide geographical
area, it is highly likely that MTCS can markedly enhance mission
effectiveness, success and safety.”
