IPAWS-Winlink Demonstration
October 3, 2020
The DHS SHAred RESources (SHARES) HF Radio Program brought the FEMA
Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS) and the Winlink HF
Email development team together to demonstrate delivery of an IPAWS
message by HF radio in the event of an internet outage. The Ohio
Military Reserve ?Black Swan? exercise (29 SEP to 03 OCT 2020)
provided the opportunity to demonstrate this capability.
Ideally, there would be a SHARES Winlink station at the location of
the IPAWS message originator. Since that could not be implemented
within the time and budget constraints of the exercise, internet was
used to get IPAWS messages from the point of origination to the SHARES
HQ program office in Arlington VA, where custom software written by
Phil Sherrod, chief programmer of the Winlink Development Team,
detected the IPAWS message, and forwarded it by SHARES Winlink Hybrid
HF Radio Email Network automatically, with no human intervention, to
exercise participants in Ohio.
Due to COVID-19, there were no station personnel present in the HQ
SHARES Radio Station building. Messages were retrieved by SHARES
operators over SHARES Winlink and given to Amateur Radio operators who
manually relayed them to county and city emergency management agencies
at different times of the day to simulate variations in propagation
conditions. ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), the ARRL
National Traffic System (NTS) and amateur radio operators participated
through the Government?s AuxComm program. DHS project coordinators
were Scott Johnson of Sawdey Solutions, a FEMA contractor, and Ross
Merlin, SHARES HF Radio Program Manager, of the Cybersecurity and
Information Security Agency (CISA).
The SHARES Hybrid Winlink Radio Email Network is provided to the
U.S. Government at no charge by the Amateur Radio Safety Foundation,
Inc. For further information about Winlink, see
