So let’s talk about an application with a demonstrated need
May 16-17, 2016 | Renaissance Hotel | Washington, DC
I have arrived at a angry crowd
May 16-17, 2016 | Renaissance Hotel | Washington, DC
I need a lot of Situational Awareness
Is there any field
intelligence to share?
Where are the
nearest officers?
Where is the
evacuation point?
Where is the
armored vehicle?
Is there a local map of
the area? Are there photos of
persons of interest?
Why doesn’t my cell phone
work in large crowds!
Commander: can I see
locations of officers and
photos of the crowd?

Very Basics of a Situational Awareness System1. Provide Real Time Information Sharing
