INGENIOUS Toolkit Integration, Testing & Field Validation activities

A novel testing, training and experimentation programme of 24 laboratory testing sessions, 24 field tests and 2 large scale field validation activities will be realised within the lifecycle of the project. Technical partners and end users will follow closely the laboratory testing activities, realise field tests of the initial versions of functional prototypes towards benchmarking and ultimately operate the Toolkit as a whole in two large field validation activities to be held in M26 and M35 of the project.

The INGENIOUS Smart mapping and localization devices

The design and prototyping of several smart flying and ground devices have been performed in the first year of Ingenious. One of the INGENIOUS main aims is to provide first responders with new instruments to enable improved scene perception, indoor/outdoor mapping, accurate self-localization in indoor environments, as well as data communication with other devices. For this purpose INGENIOUS partners from SINTEF, FOI and DLR are developing three drones (MIN, MAX and MACS) and a self-localization tool (IPS). All these devices are connected with the field communication system.

2nd day at the Mediterranean Security Event in Crete, Greece

The INGENIOUS vision for the First Responder of the Future is being presented during the Mediterranean Security Event which is organised by the Greek Center for Security Studies (KEMEA) and the European Commission’s Directorate General for Migration and Home Affairs. The INGENIOUS Next Generation Integrated Toolkit armours First Responders with novel technology to conduct their response duties safely.
