Safety and Security Domains

Crisis Management (PDF - 422 KB)
Take steps to avoid technology failure and establish formal communications processes to avoid and/or manage crisis situations.

Urban Security (PDF - 1.7 MB)
Manage a growing number of security incidents with fewer personnel, freeing up resources for crime prevention.

Architecture Building Blocks

Citizen to Authority (PDF - 2.8 MB)
Provides two-way communications capabilities (e.g., citizens can use a single phone number like 112, 911 or 999 to request emergency support. Authorities can alert a specific group of individuals about immediate danger, etc.)

Command and Control (PDF - 1.4 MB)
Coordinates incident response and provides up-to-date common operational picture, actionable intelligence, and decision support tools.

Incident Collaboration (PDF - 898 KB)
Helps ensure that public safety teams can communicate using any available technology (e.g. IP and analog or digital radio) and any media (e.g. voice, video, instant message (IM) or short message service (SMS), etc.)

Mission Critical (PDF - 1.2 MB)
Optimize emergency operations with a scalable, resilient, secure, and intelligent network.

Mobile Force (PDF - 1.2 MB)
Delivers services to the field over wireless networks (e.g. police officers in their vehicles can securely access central databases, fire commanders can monitor conditions at the scene through the biosensors on fire).

Sensing and Actuation (PDF - 427 KB)
Analyzes data from sensors at the incident scene, streams the filtered information to the operations center, and provides the means for swift and automated remote action in response to sensor input.
