Abstract

This paper presents the work that is currently performed in the E-SPONDER (FP7–242411) project. E-SPONDER is a suite of real-time data-centric technologies which will provide actionable information and communication support to first responders that act during normal and abnormal events (crises). This information will enable improved control and management, resulting in real time synchronization between forces on the ground (police, rescue, firefighters) and out-of-theater command and control centers (C&C). The approach guiding the E-SPONDER project is based on the fusion of variable forms of field-derived data within a central system which will then provide information analysis and decision support applications at designated C & C locations in order to provide in situ support to first responders that operate in Critical Infrastructures.
