CATS Adaptive Integrated Management System

AIMS is a disaster relief planning, training and operational support system that provides the automated tool for first responders and emergency management to prepare and respond to a disaster.

A Changing World

Large scale disasters as hurricanes, terrorist operations and the events that follow (flooding, fire, riots, mass evacuations, etc.) require exact coordination between multiple agencies and precise management of personnel and equipment resources.

Involving People

Emergency managers who control, coordinate and manage the personnel and equipment allocated, need appropriate tools in order to master an effective response. First responders that provide emergency assistance, stabilizing the situation and trying to reduce secondary damage need easily accessible asset and resource information and tools to communicate with Emergency Management.

Planning, training and exercises

AIMS simulates an emergency, such as a hurricane or chemical spill, and models its effects on population, property and terrain. AIMS also simulates the individual field units and the actions those units can take in response to the emergency.

Operational Support

The same tools used for planning and training are also used for operational support but the feed into the system is now coming from real units and events. With state of the art map applications, GPS tracking and incident reporting first responders send and receive information to/from the Emergency Operation Center. Emergency Management use the real time information from the field with geospatial data, asset data and disaster modelling to make better decisions.

Fit for Purpose

AIMS is scalable, distributable, mobile and easy to tailor. The system can be used on a laptop or in a network. Mobile handheld devices can connect via a cellular or radio network. It is fully distributable, enabling remote sites to take part of the exercises/operations. The behaviour of the simulation and the AAR can easily be tailored to specific needs.
