The ICBRNE system uses standard, commercially available sensors to wirelessly relay live readings to experts. (Watch Cramer and other first responders talk about ICBRNE in the video.) S&T, in partnership with private companies Safe Environment Engineering, Vialogy, and Optimetrics, developed the system as a "true team," said Los Angeles Fire Department Battalion Chief Bob Cramer. The Los Angeles area program, known as the Integrated Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (ICBRNE) Detection Demonstration pilot, has brought together sensor manufacturers, application developers, communication companies, and system integrators to build this comprehensive detection system called the ICBRNE System. Meanwhile, evacuation calls can be sent out automatically to nearby homes and businesses. With a few clicks of the mouse, specialists and scene commanders can share information and collaborate on what they see. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has helped build a device that can quickly beam data on chemical toxins, biological agents, and dirty bombs from the hot zone to the desktops of HAZMAT hotshots around the world. To help overcome these obstacles, the U.S.
They are not walking encyclopedias and even if they were, security policies limit what could be said openly over the radio. The implications of what they can or cannot see are not always obvious. Foggy face masks and full-body protective suits can obstruct the tiny display screens HAZMAT responders use to monitor and record the scene. Making the right decisions is no walk on the pier. For a HAZMAT squad, the time to start making them could be the instant a dock worker’s eyes burn from a cargo container leak.
Good decisions are never more critical than in a crisis.
