REACT exercise Incident Command Unit 2013

An emergency exercise in Malahide estuary, north of Dublin, Ireland, put the fire service’s pilot information and communication system through its paces.

REACT, or Resource for Emergency services to Access Command and control data using satellite and hybrid Technologies, is a project co-funded by ESA’s ARTES 3–4 satcom applications programme.

For the exercise, an Incident Command Unit was sent to the emergency scene, adapted with a Ka-band satellite dish and a CCTV camera to send and receive information and images.
