Need Help with this Question or something similar to this? We got you! Just fill out the order form (follow the link below), and your paper will be assigned to an expert to help you ASAP.
The full instructions are on the attached document and below. This requires a write up and to fill out
a spreadsheet like the example one that is attached as well.
Background:
A technology evaluation is standard
practice in the business world. It is a simple methodology to perform a
structured assessment of multiple tools in order to select one or decide
against them. There are many published processes and templates that can be
used, but there are commonalities among them to include:
A
structured process
User
defined criteria
Rankings
For this exercise, you are provided
a process and template for you to use. You are free to use an existing process
or template that you find in your own research or develop one on your
own.
Background:
The scenario is that you are the
Emergency Manager for a large urban university. This university is spread over
10 miles and can have up to 30,000 people on the campus at one time. The campus
faces many hazards such as tornados, floods, fires, and active shooters.
Recent incidents nationwide have
placed pressure on Universities to be prepared for anything. The
President of the University has asked you, the University’s Emergency
Management Director, to find a way to provide aerial images with infrared
capability and be able transmit them back to the EOC. She also wants
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) sensor
capabilities. She wants to know what your recommendation is,
how much it will cost and why you chose the one you did.
(Notice she did not give you a
budget – this is a tough target to hit. How much will it cost the
Univ. to get CBRNE sensors? Does the University need CBRNE sensors?)
Technology Requirements:
The technology you choose must be
able to work in a network of over 100 physical units (Classrooms / Offices /
Facilities) over a distance of 10 miles.
Process:
Select
Drones. Select 3
or more Drones to evaluate.
I
recommend Googling
Professional
Drone Ratings
CBRN Drones
Emergency
Management Drones
Select
Criteria. You
must select the criteria for evaluation. You must select a minimum of 5
criteria (you can use more if you want). You must include at least 3 from
the list below and come up with at least 2 of your own (again more if you
want):
Price : The sticker price of the
product
Function
– Payload
Function
– Video / IR Transmit
Function
– Range
Function
– CBRNE Sensors
Cost: All the additional costs
associated with implementation such as training, or additional hardware
requirements.
Reliability: How often does this product fail
or is not available?
Security
/ Encryption
Durability
Determine
Weights: You
must determine how important each criterion is to you and for the given
task. For example, if reliability is the most important it should get the
highest weight. Each weight is represented as a percentage (50% =
.50). ALL WEIGHTS MUST ADD UP TO 100% or (1 on the sheet).
Rank. Now rank each technology by
assigning a score of 1-10 for each criteria. There are no Zeroes. One is
the lowest rank you can assign and ten is the highest. Therefore, as an
example, a very reliable technology would get a 10 and an unreliable one
might get a 1.
Sum.
Analyze.
Deliverable. On 5 or more pages show your
final evaluation table and justify your recommendations. Start
by answering the following questions:
What technologies did you select?
Provide a very short description.
What are your top 2 weighted
criteria? Explain why did you select them?
What technology do you recommend
be selected for meeting the requirements and why?
