This AFWERX Direct to Phase II project will focus on the development of a unifying platform for Incident Command. The platform can provide tracking in GPS-denied environments, biometric monitoring, and hands-free communication through detecting and informing the Incident Commander of potential mayday scenarios with enough time to make a critical difference. We can integrate our sensor modules into existing third-party Personal Protective Equipment solutions to provide actionable data insights into the health, environment, and location of operators in high-risk environments. This project will fund the development of 1) location tracking and Machine Learning model for floorplan generation; 2) biometric and environmental monitoring, and operator readiness metric to view across shift; 3) build-in system for assets and terrain tracking; 4) user experience improvements through direct exposure of our technology to airmen, and understand needs and constraints of airmen vs. local national vs. civil service vs. contractor; 5) integrate best incident command system practices.
