AgileMesh Case Study: Regional WMD Drill
SITUATION:
Regional WMD scenario-based exercise, with multiple (35 to 50) SWAT, EOD, fire, rescue, emergency medical, HAZMAT and other units participating.
CHALLENGE:
To maintain meaningful command and control over many different types of operations with different command chains and radio frequencies while attempting to understand the tactical problems and the ever-changing resolution of those problems.
SOLUTION:
Deployment of AgileMesh video nodes into the problem, delivered by a squad of operators while en route to a mission. Strategic placement of video nodes allowed real-time images to be viewed by commanders, team leaders and operators. This allowed all participants to better understand spatial relationships, be able to view the progress of advancing units, gather tactical intelligence from afar and obtain a more complete understanding of the area of operation overall.
Video nodes were placed in a linear array, creating concentric, overlapping “bubbles” of connectivity. At the last bubble, an Ethernet cable was run from the node to a laptop located in the Tactical Operations Center. From this location, Command was able to “see” the problem from nearly a mile away as well as move (PTZ) the cameras to improve or modify their view.
