DHS Science & Technology, Maritime Security Division in cooperation with SRI International presents the Maritime Security Technology Program (MSTP) Coastal Surveillance System (CSS). Built on an innovative open source platform, the CSS allows stakeholders at all levels to have access to critical data and information. From AIS and radar feeds to cameras and sensors, the CSS allows real time information sharing in an unclassified setting anytime, anywhere. By integrating highly robust naval sensors and data fusion capabilities, the MSTP provides the most comprehensive maritime domain awareness available and will set a new standard for maritime information sharing.
The demonstrations conducted in small groups of 20 or less will allow government entities to learn about the most cost effective and robust system to assist them in their information sharing needs. For solutions providers, this demonstration allows them to understand the immense opportunity for them to integrate their data into the system and potentially partner with DHS S&T in the deployment of the system.
Please read the following article by Thomas Tomaiko that will give great insight into the program and it's objectives: Reality Check: Balancing the Need to Enhance Maritime Security While Maximizing Legitimate Use of the Maritime Domain
The Plugfest
A “Plug Fest” is an industrial best practice for proving interoperability. It establishes an opportunity and environment for technology providers, system developers, and operators to examine interoperability per a chosen set of standards and integration patterns. The intent for the Coastal Surveillance System plugfest is to demonstrate interoperability between diverse systems, technologies, and data sources. The CSS Enterprise provides embedded rich data sharing as a result of the integration without burden to service consumers or providers.

Built in 2011, the Port of Los Angeles, in partnership with the State of California Emergency Management Agency, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Maritime Law Enforcement Training Center was developed as the country’s first Maritime Training Center specifically designed to train state and local law enforcement personnel.
Conducted in small groups of 20 or less, this tour will give maritime law enforcement professionals the opportunity to see and learn about the most robust and accredited training program available on the west coast tailored specifically for maritime law enforcement.
