Data fusion and predictive modelling - UrbanAware

For real-time CBRN threat awareness

UrbanAware is a next-generation CBRN simulation and modelling platform developed by Smiths Detection and Riskaware, designed to support faster, more informed decision-making across complex operational environments.

UrbanAware combines real-time hazard data, predictive modelling, threat visualisation and instant alerts into a single operational picture.

By fusing sensor data, environmental modelling and operational intelligence, UrbanAware helps teams predict hazards, assess evolving threats and coordinate response activities with greater speed and confidence.

The result is enhanced situational awareness and more effective planning, preparation and response when every second counts.

 

Operational Environments

Defence

Enhance CBRN readiness and operational response. UrbanAware delivers real-time chemical threat detection, hazard modelling, geospatial visualisation and simulation tools for mission-critical planning. 

First Responders

Respond faster and safer to HAZMAT incidents. UrbanAware provides real-time chemical threat intelligence and dynamic plume modelling to support confident decision-making on the ground. 

Maritime Security

Monitor and model maritime hazards like ammonia in real time. UrbanAware integrates sensor data, predictive analytics, and geospatial visualisation to deliver clear, actionable insight at sea.

Key Features


Offering advanced forecasting tools // to help responders anticipate the progression of CBRN incidents and plan accordingly.

Adobestock 1982083291
  • Simulates the potential spread and impact of CBRN attacks or industrial releases.
  • Assists in planning evacuation routes and establishing optimal cordon areas based on hazard predictions.
  • Provides real-time insights for more informed, proactive response strategies during evolving incidents.


Delivering critical, real-time data // to first responders and military planners, enabling rapid and informed decision-making during chemical incidents.

Urbanaware Screen 01 1
  • Integrates Riskaware’s CBRN/HazMat Information Management system with Smiths Detection’s LCD 4 chemical detector.
  • Automatically sends threat analysis and alerts to mobile devices with clear visualisations and threat mapping.
  • Provides immediate hazard identification in the field through sensor-triggered alerts, enhancing situational awareness.


Designed to account for the unique challenges // of cities, ensuring accurate hazard analysis and response planning in complex settings.

Urban Image1
  • Considers the effects of streets, buildings, and population density on hazard dispersion.
  • Enhances threat detection and modeling specifically for densely populated areas.
  • Enables more precise response strategies, improving safety and evacuation measures in urban spaces.


Designed to integrate information // from multiple sources

SD LCD4 JMOD

UrbanAware is well-suited to the multi-domain, digital battlespace; data fusion and visualisation can combine chemical readings from LCD 4 with a range of other data, such as location and environment-focused information.

Detector-agnostic - it can incorporate data from a range of sources. It can also be layered into wider situational awareness systems, such as the ‘Android Tactical Assault Kit’ more commonly referred to as ATAK which the US military developed.
