Incident command dashboards
One screen carrying the feeds the IC would otherwise gather by asking.
The command picture is scattered across radios, screens and people
Important information may exist in CAD, accountability, UAS video, thermal imaging, building systems, maps, radio traffic and individual officers' observations. The IC still has to assemble much of that information mentally.
Technology approaches
Common operating pictures
Command, divisions and cooperating agencies reading from the same picture.
Role-based displays
The IC, the aide, the safety officer and the RIC do not need the same screen.
Integrated mapping
Units, assignments, hazards and imagery on one map rather than four applications.
Radio and data integration
Voice traffic and system data brought together instead of tracked separately.

Evidence and research
Government, standards and peer-reviewed sources on this problem. Every address here was checked before it was published.
Research
An Investigation of Operational Decision Making in Situ: Incident Command in the U.K. Fire and Rescue Service
A study of how incident commanders actually make decisions during real incidents.
Why it matters
Technology that ignores how command decisions are really made will be worked around, however good the interface is.
How these sources are labeled
- Research
- Academic or laboratory work.
Nothing here is paid placement. Links are chosen because they are the clearest explanation we could find, and labeled so you know who wrote them.
What departments are asking
Mutual AidWhat digital command or accountability system has actually survived a large working incident?
Not what demonstrated well. What did the IC actually use, and what did the aides use? How much information had to be entered by hand while the incident was running? What happened when connectivity degraded? Did mutual-aid companies fit into the system, or did they end up outside it? What manual backup did you keep? And knowing what you know now, would you deploy it again?
