The specific objectives of the project fall under the following categories:

• Communications objectives, which involve the research and development of an integral and interoperable wireless communications system that will allow First Responders to have reliable means of communications as they enter subway tunnels and buildings with thick concrete walls.
• First Responders objectives, which entail the research and development of a robust indoor site navigation system based on three location sensors (an inertial sensor, a wireless sensor and a video sensor), a video annotation system for First Responder PDAs, sensors for real time identification of radiation exposure and hazardous materials, and applications for gas leakage and hidden fire detection.
• Standardization objectives, which includes R&D of a European level proposal for the standardization of the framework of communications and applications as proposed by INFRA.
• Demonstration objectives, which consist on the demonstration of the validity of INFRA’s standards, communications and First Responder applications being developed.
