1. The Fixed Camera System consists of a 40+ camera network covering the 2nd floor 
   of Bullard hall with capability of human detection, human posture classification, face 
   recognition, and person color signature identification.
   
   
2. The Kiosk System consists of two Pan‐Tilt‐Zoom cameras and 8 microphones for 
   human computer interactive ambient control capability, including capability for 
   voice detection, hand gesture recognition and face recognition.
   
   
3. The Internal Unmanned Ground Vehicle system consists of LegoStorm robots with 
   capability of automatically being sent to specified locations in the lab, upon detection 
   of abnormal behavior.
   
   
4. The External Unmanned Ground Vehicle system consists of over a dozen Surveyor, 
   outside, rugged robots with stereo cameras, GPS, IR sensor, and compass for mobile 
   Situation awareness capability.
   
   
5. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle system consists of two tethered blimps which have 
   camera, GPS, IR sensor and compass.
   
   
6. Finally, the Command and Control System, inputs the intelligence automatically 
   extracted from the previously mentioned system (Fixed Camera System, ...) and 
   performs global situation awareness by automatically detecting normal, abnormal, 
   and unknown behaviors by people in the 2nd floor of Bullard Hall. The C2 System 
   also consists of Commanding Officer Executive Interface which visualizes the 
   automated intelligence process, including receiving and acknowledging 
   automated alerts.
