Skytek worked with the Dublin Fire Brigade in Ireland to develop a satellite enabled communication system for major emergencies that ensures constant and reliable communication during a major emergency. REACT2 is a hybrid solution that combines the usage of mobile and satellite communication.
In a situation of pandemic disease like COVID-19 or other major emergency responses having a fully integrated Command and Control (C&C) solution is vital to the effective management
of the evolving situation. In addition, a solution which can be used in a fully distributed manner supporting the concept of a ‘virtual C&C centre’ which can use Satellite Communications provides the next evolution in emergency response.
The REACT2 project is an Irish/Italian research project, funded by the European Space Agency, where the Irish partners have concentrated their efforts on facilitating and improving the Command and Control services.
The REACT2 project has created innovative software solutions for the support of emergency response personnel requiring command and control that have been successfully tested in pilot experiments
