Abstract:
Discription of an innovative DHS project called Smart City IoT Innovation (or Sciti). The project focuses on C4I related technologies, combining operational practicality with scientific rigor. It leverages the success technology accelerators are having in bringing good ideas to market, especially when decisions are informed by systematic analytics and focused on market success. Once selected the companies participate in recurring performance and interoperability experimentation that is directed by first responders, measuring their effectiveness and providing entrepreneurs design feedback. This unique approach increases the likelihood that the technology succeeds in the market and eventually improves first responder safety and effectiveness.
