Research abstract
The speed at which an attack is detected is a critical trigger for all responses to follow. The accurate determination of the type of attack will determine the type of emergency personnel and response needed. The location will determine the target response area as well as determine by proximity which of the responders that are available can be first on the scene. Therefore, a system that can do that based on a multitude of input feeds such as sensors and other systems is of out most importance. While sensor put out information - making sense in quick fashion of the data is paramount. People tend to panic in situations of high stress whereas a system can help by a "one button" trigger point. A system that can fuse data from multiple sources, correlate it, find the root cause, and then automatically notify the required first responders as well as the victims will play a significant role in helping evacuate victims in a timely manner and therefore save lives.
