Hello Smart Firefighting Community!

Welcome to another episode of covering real world innovations via interviews with fire service and technology industry experts that empower YOU to develop your very own Smart Firefighting strategy! This is the 3rd episode of our FRST Challenge Mini Series!

Here's how you can join Jaap de Vries, Ph.D. in creating a smarter, more resilient future for first responders...

In this episode:

- What is FRST Challenge?

- Why do first responders need 3D tracking technology?

- How can you participate in the competition?

Previous VP of Innovation, Science and Technology for FM Global - a mutual insurance company whose capital, scientific research capability and engineering expertise are solely dedicated to property risk management and the resilience of our client-owners - de Vries was responsible for building a network of sources to identify, research and assess emerging signals of change in the market, new technologies and scientific advances. His main goal was to discover and develop new opportunities to guide strategic planning efforts. During his time, de Vries established the company’s Advanced Technology Laboratory in Norwood, MA, and demonstrated augmented reality, virtual reality, drone technology and rapid prototyping.

Since creating new opportunities via technology has always been the focus of his career, de Vries is eager to find out what innovators develop in the upcoming competition. FRST Challenge exists to identify 3D tracking technology that can give first responders one-meter accuracy in an indoor setting (use cases include emergency rescue operations and survivor location within large buildings) and to provide competitors with entrepreneurial mentoring. Funded by PSCR, a total of up to $5.6 million in prizes and support funding will be distributed across all 5 phases to aid participants in purchasing materials, forming teams, and creating partnerships to develop their innovation. Prize money grows as teams advance through each phase, and several winners will ultimately be selected in Phase 5 to receive the largest cash prizes.

The application for Phase 1 is due on January 31, 2022, so email info@FRSTChallenge.com to find out how to participate!
