The control tower of the future

In our vision, each human operator participating to an emergency response mission should equipped with a portable mobile command center that collects, elaborates and displays the meaningful information generated within the area of operations. In such scenario, the availability of a reliable network able to offer the required performance and reliability to an heterogeneous set of devices (from smartphones to drones, from smart bracelets or any other sensor to any kind of vehicle, etc) represents the key to run a distributed decision-making architecture. The objective of the project is to build over the ad-hoc networking technology developed by Humanitas Solutions – the Heterogeneous Embedded Ad-hoc Virtual Emergency Network (HEAVEN) – to develop a new network infrastructure capable of supporting the novel multi-command center architecture for distributed control and improved situational awareness in emergency response operations
