The DHS Science & Technology (S&T) Directorate is sponsoring innovative fourDscape® applied technology that effectively integrates all the live sensor data feeds into a cohesive, easy-to-understand view of what's going on at the scene. Utilized during Operation Lupercale in Los Angeles with the LASD in January, "the fourDscape® management engine took all of the data from those sensors and seamlessly fused them together into a single, visual 4D Scene that was meaningful and useful to the police," said Stephen Dennis, who manages the project at the Directorate's Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency. "It gave us a chance to see what it would be like to have true situational awareness during a major, real-world event. It gave us, well, a not-so-common COP." |
