Urban Aware is an advanced CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) simulation and modelling software solution developed through a strategic partnership between Smiths Detection and Riskaware. UrbanAware revolutionises the way chemical hazard intelligence is delivered, especially in high-stakes, urban environments.

By seamlessly integrating Riskaware’s cutting-edge CBRN/HazMat Information Management (IM) system with Smiths Detection’s trusted LCD 4 chemical detector, UrbanAware collects, analyses, and delivers real-time incident intelligence directly to first responders and military planners. This state-of-the-art platform enhances decision-making at the tactical edge by closing the gap between data collection, analysis, and strategic awareness.

UrbanAware supports faster, more informed response strategies, making it an essential solution for defence and security organisations. Whether managing a chemical incident or preparing for future threats, UrbanAware is designed to protect people, environments, and infrastructure while addressing global challenges.

• Real-time Chemical Hazard Detection: Alerts are triggered through sensors, enabling quick identification and response to hazardous threats in the field.
• Tactical Intelligence Delivery: Threat analysis results are sent to ruggedised mobile devices with clear visualisations, including threat mapping relative to team positions.
• Advanced Predictive Modelling: With built-in simulation capabilities, UrbanAware can forecast the potential next stages of a chemical attack or industrial release, aiding in evacuation planning and cordon establishment.
• Urban Optimisation: Designed specifically for complex urban environments, the platform accounts for the effects of streets, buildings, and population dynamics on hazard dispersion.
• Proven Technology: Riskaware's CBRN tools, validated in real-world scenarios, were originally developed by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl).
