Enhancing first responders safety and coordination via indoor tracking

 

First responders : all the services likely to intervene and provide assistance in the event of an emergency. This includes firefighters, law enforcement, emergency medical assistance or specialized units (search and rescue, CBRN, mine-clearing, etc.).

 

Being able to locate each first responder in real time is one of the 10 capability needs identified by IFAFRI (International Forum to Advance First Responder Innovation). But inside buildings or underground, the GPS signal is not available.

 

With this challenge in mind, we developed Sysnav frst: the smart tracker for first responders.

Why location tracking is key for first responders

 

• Safety: the conduct of intrinsically risky operations requires the ability to locate first responders at any time, to assist them or rescue them as fast as possible if necessary.
• Efficiency: real time tracking increases situational awareness and helps adapting the dispatch to improve operational efficiency. This is valid in fire intervention, in long-term explorations, as well as for training.

 

 

SYSNAV FRST features

 

• Individual first responder real time tracking inside buildings, undergrounds or in any other GPS-blind areas.
• 3D precision (X, Y, Z) always less than 5 meters
• Automatic man-down alerts
• Navigation toward to the pair in difficulty
• Ability to geo-tag information of interest during progress
• Replay of itineraries in training and during lessons learned.
