The Adversary & Interdiction Methods (AIM) program provides training and capability assessment services to government agencies around the country. Interdisciplinary teams equipped with gear and radioactive sources are repeatedly fielded to offsite events to collaborate with law enforcement agencies at all levels of government. AIM has grown rapidly over the past three years. A knowledge management system as evolved along with the program but it has failed to keep pace. A new system is needed. The new system must comply with cybersecurity and information technology solutions already in place at an institutional level. The offsite nature of AIM activities must also be accommodated. Cost and schedule preclude the commissioning of new software and the procurement of expensive hardware. The new system must exploit in-house capabilities and be established quickly. A novel system is proposed. This solution centers on a recently introduced institutional file sharing capability called Syncplicity. AIM-authored software will be combined with a dedicated institutional account to vastly extend the capability of this resource. The new knowledge management system will reduce error and increase efficiency through automation and be accessible offsite via mobile devices.
