The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) recently released a Request for Information (RFI) to obtain first responder new and emerging technologies.
First responders would experiment with and test the technological offerings during the multi-day Urban Operational Experimentation (OpEx) 2022 expo slated for New York City in late summer.
“At Urban OpEx, first responders get a chance to experiment with emerging technologies with the potential to improve their efficiency and effectiveness and keep them safer on the job,” S&T Senior Technologist Bhargav Patel said. “At the same time, developers learn how to refine and improve their technologies to meet the specific needs of first responders. It’s a win-win when we join together on technological innovations that can ultimately save lives.”
Interested participants, including industry, academic institutions, federally funded research and development centers, and other government organizations, have until 5 p.m. EDT on March 25, 2022, to apply for consideration.
Key areas of focus during Urban OpEx 2022 include fixed, on-body, or hand-held sensors; Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS); situational awareness platforms; response and evacuation tools; deployable communications systems; indoor and outdoor personnel location tracking systems; and video content analysis and video analytics.
