WISERWireless Information System for Emergency Responders
Strategic Objectives
• Easy navigation, intuitive• Information tailored to the specific role of the
emergency responder• Focus on unknown substance identification
capabilities• Provide a platform that can be expanded to
support other emergency response needs• Rich, stand-alone capability with enhanced
connected (wireless) capabilities• Cross-platform, multi-device architecture
