The Problem

Inside a structure fire or a wildland incident, leaders track their people by radio and line of sight. Personnel status, equipment state, and team accountability still depend on voice checks under stress.

The SENTINEL V approach

SENTINEL V is being developed as body-worn sensing fused into a team-level picture, designed to move over resilient local networking when infrastructure is degraded, and to surface only what a responder or incident leader actually needs.

Designed For

01
Body-worn sensor fusion for personnel and equipment status
02
Team-level accountability for crews and incident leaders
03
Designed for degraded-communications environments
04
Responder-first interface discipline: awareness without distraction

Intended Users
