SHIP ACCIDENT

Scenario Description

Domain: Air, land, sea

Situation: A large cruise ship has caught on fire outside of Västervik. Some of the passengers have escaped the ship in lifeboats, but others are stuck in need of assistance. There is oil leaking from the ship and toxic chemicals is seeping into the waters and the air.

Area: Water outside of Västervik (see image)

Mission: Conduct a mission obtain information about people in need and the severity of the accident.

Objectives: Use available resources to locate the ship, identify people in lifeboats and stuck on the ship and inspect the spreading of chemicals.

Measures/Scoring:

  • Time to gather an overview of the situation
  • Traveled distance (energy)

Resources:

  • UAV’s (unmanned aerial vehicles)
  • Drone Operators
  • Object Detector
  • UGV’s (unmanned ground vehicles)
  • USV’s (unmanned surface vehicles)
  • AUV’s (autonomous underwater vehicles)

Prerequisites:

  • An area of interest is given beforehand
  • Total number of people (unclear how many have escaped in lifeboats)

Challenges:

  • Resource allocation due to multiple teams collaborating
  • Object detection
  • Collision avoidance
  • Additional information (e.g. areas of interest, changes in priority, drone battery change e.t.c.)

Roles:

  • Operator

Contain & Rescue

Domain: Air, land, sea

Situation: Contain the spreading of toxic chemicals and rescue the people in need.

Area: Water outside of Västervik (unknown area)

Mission: Conduct a mission to rescue people in need, support with medical supplies when necessary. Contain and collect the spreading of oil and toxic chemicals.

Objectives: Use available resources to identify and rescue injured people, collect the toxic chemicals and oil.

Measures/Scoring:

  • Time to rescue people in need
  • Time to contain and collect toxic chemicals and oil
  • Traveled distance (energy)

Resources:

  • UAV’s (unmanned aerial vehicles)
  • Drone Operators
  • Object Detector
  • UGV’s (unmanned ground vehicles)
  • USV’s (unmanned surface vehicles)
  • AUV’s (autonomous underwater vehicles)

Prerequisites:

  • Position of the ship is known
  • Positions of the lifeboats are unknown
  • Total number of people (unclear how many have escaped in lifeboats and who are in need of medical assistance)

Challenges:

  • Resource allocation due to multiple teams collaborating
  • Collision avoidance
  • Additional information (e.g. areas of interest, changes in priority, drone battery change e.t.c.)
  • Delivery of supplies
  • Contain chemicals
  • Collect oil

Roles:

  • Operator

Secure Computing Infrastructure

Domain: Air, land, sea, Cyber

Situation: Ensure secure computing infrastructure for resources involved in rescue missions.

Area: Water outside of Västervik (unknown area)

Mission: Ensure that the resources involved in the rescue mission are available, and that the information handled by the resources involved in the rescue mission cannot be obtained by unauthorized actors. Furthermore, it must be ensured that the information cannot be manipulated in an unexpected manner.

Objectives: Implement methods to ensure the security of information and resources involved in the rescue mission.

Measures/Scoring:

  • Time to rescue people in need
  • Amount of leaked information
  • Availability (up-time) of information services
  • Time to disturbance detection/mitigation

Resources:

  • UAV’s (unmanned aerial vehicles)
  • Drone Operators
  • Object Detector
  • UGV’s (unmanned ground vehicles)
  • USV’s (unmanned surface vehicles)
  • AUV’s (autonomous underwater vehicles)
  • Ground stations

Prerequisites:

  • Position of the ship is known
  • Positions of the lifeboats are unknown
  • Total number of people (unclear how many have escaped in lifeboats and who are in need of medical assistance)
  • The scene contains sensitive information

Challenges:

  • Resource allocation due to multiple teams collaborating
  • Collision avoidance
  • Additional information (e.g. areas of interest, changes in priority, drone battery change e.t.c.)
  • Delivery of supplies
  • Contain chemicals
  • Collect oil
  • Establishing and upholding security
  • Changes in participants over time
  • Constrained computational resources on some units

Roles:

  • Operator
  • Network/system administrator
  • Security operator
