SDI recently achieved a significant milestone--the operational deployment of the Electronic EBF-4 web application to Fire Department New York City (FDNY). This application is used City-wide by FDNY Chiefs and Officers for each of the two daily tours (9X and 6X) to schedule personnel and to provide reporting of personnel assigned to each tour. This application replaces paper-based ride list forms and provides easy-to-use functions accessible on the FDNY intranet. SDI is continuing innovative uses of the EBF-4 data to support FDNY firefighter accountability objectives by developing an emergency alert (mayday) capture application.

 

 

 

Maritime Domain Awareness

SDI is assisting the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory to augment DoD and USCG maritime awareness capabilities with system planning activities, software development using Java and .Net technologies, and system deployment and training. These efforts address new developments and integrate a variety of DoD systems and technologies at multiple security levels.

FDNY Firefighter Accountability

FDNY puts application into production

SDI is identifying approaches to automate and streamline Fire Department New York (FDNY) firefighter identification, scheduling, and tracking at incidents. SDI developed the Electronic BF-4 (EBF-4) application, in use operationally in all five NYC boroughs, to enable FDNY Chiefs and Officers to schedule and identify personnel across tours (daily shifts). This data is being applied to the FDNY EFAS proof of concept. Accompanying this development, SDI is developing, refining, and hosting an FDNY RFID demonstration pilot. Installed onto five FDNY Company rigs in Queens, this effort is evaluating firefighter accountability effectiveness using COTS RFID equipment and SDI-developed Tablet PC and web applications.

Space Program Development

SDI staff are assisting the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in system planning and documentation for the Microwave Imager/Sounder Sensor (MIS) program to support DoD goals for space-based production of microwave imagery and other specialized meteorological and oceanographic products. SDI is performing system planning including significant cost planning/budgeting and monitoring of program progress toward cost, schedule, and tecnical goals. SDI is preparing system and software documentation.
