Dean Hayhurst,

Eric Frost and I would like to personally invite you and your staff to tour 
the Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID 09), at SDSU's 
Visualization Center and the Regional Technology Clearinghouse, June 17-25.

Interoperability trials will test technologies that could aid in area 
emergency response efforts, including domestic and international 
Humanitarian Assistance Disaster Relief.  It includes software and 
collaboration tools that have risen to significant notice within the 
military and its efforts to collaborate with first responders, NGOs, and 
other countries.  Some of these tools may prove useful for San Diego efforts

with fires, earthquakes, floods, H1N1, and outreach to Mexico and many other

parts of the world.  We would love to facilitate you building partnerships 
with the participants and companies involved.  Some of these tools could 
also be of assistance to many groups besides the military and might assist 
with some of the University's grant-writing efforts and capabilities to 
assist our community and international colleagues and partnerships.

Standard one-hour tours are available June 17-25 only, 0700 through 0930 
daily.  Visitors must register in advance via the CWID web site.  
Availability is limited and early registration is recommended.

You may register online at: http://www.cwid.js.mil <http://www.cwid.js.mil/>

MORE ABOUT CWID: The Department of Defense, U.S. Government, first response 
agencies along with multi-national counterparts are sponsoring interoperable

technology trials at five U.S. and numerous international sites, involving 
more than 20 coalition partners throughout the world.

The extensive capabilities of the U.S. Navy's Space and Naval Warfare 
Systems Center Pacific will be teamed with San Diego State University to 
demonstrate new technologies and discover potential solutions. 

Real-world operators will work together real time on dynamic emergency 
scenarios at SDSU's Visualization Center, which has been deeply involved in 
domestic and international efforts for Humanitarian Assistance Disaster 
Relief and all-hazards Homeland Security.  During this exercise the center 
will be configured as an Emergency Operations Center for the City of San 
Diego, bringing in information from many sources, doing data fusion and 
visualization, and providing decision support for community leaders as 
during times of crisis.  

Please visit the CWID web site for more information and visitor
instructions.
