YOUR CHALLENGE

• Integrated Event Management: Develop a comprehensive system using ATAK/CivTAK that integrates all event management aspects, including security, logistics, crowd control, and emergency response, into a unified platform. Your solution should allow real-time updates, geospatial analysis, and efficient communication among all stakeholders.
• Security and Crowd Control: Design a tool that enhances security operations during large-scale events. This could include advanced geofencing, real-time tracking of security personnel, and crowd density analysis to prevent bottlenecks or potential hazards. Consider implementing AI-driven predictive analytics to foresee potential issues before they escalate.
• Volunteer and Staff Coordination: Create a solution that streamlines the coordination of volunteers and staff. This could involve task assignment, real-time location tracking, and secure communication channels to ensure that everyone is in the right place at the right time, and any changes or emergencies are communicated instantly.
• Public Safety and Emergency Response: Build a module within ATAK/CivTAK that enables swift and coordinated responses to emergencies, such as medical incidents or security breaches. Your solution should allow for the rapid deployment of resources, real-time incident reporting, and dynamic route planning to guide first responders.
• Participant Experience: Consider the experience of event attendees. Develop a feature that enhances their experience by providing real-time information on event schedules, emergency alerts, or even a virtual map to navigate large venues. Integration with social media platforms for live updates and announcements could also be a part of this solution.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Propose a solution that collects and analyzes data from various sources (social media, sensors, public reports) to give event organizers actionable insights. This could help in making real-time decisions about crowd control, security measures, and emergency responses.
• Post-Event Analysis and Feedback: Implement tools for post-event analysis that gather data on what went well and what didn’t. This could include participant feedback, security incidents, and logistical challenges. The insights generated can be used to improve future events.
• Scenario Execution: Your challenge is to develop and demonstrate a solution that effectively coordinates a large-scale public event in a complex, multi-faceted scenario. Consider everything from pre-event planning to post-event debriefing, focusing on how your technology can streamline operations, enhance security, and improve the overall event experience.
• Multi-Stakeholder Integration: Events like these require collaboration between different agencies and teams—security, emergency services, event management, and public relations. Your solution should enable seamless integration of currently disconnected datasets and communication channels, facilitating a more coordinated approach to event management.
• Technology Fusion: Incorporate other technologies such as drones, IoT devices, AI-driven analytics, or AR/VR into your solution to provide additional layers of situational awareness, real-time data collection, and enhanced decision-making capabilities.

• Employ Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) systems to integrate public and challenge data for a comprehensive resource system
• Using challenge data and other technologies, implement a scenario execution based on damage assessment and recovery stages for possible First Responder events (such as dense population areas or natural disasters)
• Integrate multi-agency operations, identify critical demarcation points, and implement interoperability solutions based on challenge data
• Optional:  Combine “Drone as a First Responder” (DFR) capabilities into your solution outcomes
