RESCUER: First Responder-Centered support toolkit

Our toolkit based on augmented reality that allows first responders to operate in a safer and more efficient way under adverse conditions.

Where: international
Challenge
The research project RESCUER designs and develops a First-Responder-centered technology toolkit that empowers the next-generation of First Responders (FRs) by enhancing their operational capacity and safety, specifically in adverse conditions, both environmental and infrastructure-wise.
Approach
FRs will be better protected, connected and situationally aware, with enhanced operational capacity and will be able to efficiently operate in infrastructure-less environments without power and communication network. RESCUER will use lightweight, non-obtrusive, and natural interaction with devices and sensors that offer additional information layers augmenting human sensing and operational capabilities, rendering FRs better aware of their surrounding conditions and able to make fast and efficient decisions while remaining safe in the line of duty.

Adopting the “HERO” (enHanced nEw eRa first respOnder) concept, RESCUER will deliver a toolkit offering: sense augmentation through enhanced sensorial input; precise and infrastructure-less selfpositioning; cognitive support and multi-sense AR interfaces, improving the capability to utilise information and robust communication. RESCUER will employ a rigorous process for validating the tools developed, through field tests and three distinct pilots. Engineering is involved in the definition of the system architecture, in communication with Command and Control Centres (C2), and in the development of the Situation awareness information prioritization component.

The project has received co-funding from H2020-SU-SEC-2020 the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme - Contract No. 101021836.
