Response planning and execution aiding system and method

1. A system for planning and executing a response to an incident, comprising:

a planning and execution data source, the planning and execution database comprising a pre-planned response database, an area maps database, an asset database, a documents and standards database, a modeling and training database, and a telemetry database; and

a processing system in operable communication with the planning and execution data source, the processing system configured to:

(i) generate pre-planned responses to be executed by associated response assets,

(ii) store data representative of the pre-planned responses in the planning and execution database;

(iii) selectively retrieve a pre-planned response from the planning and execution database,

(iv) communicate with the response assets associated with the retrieved pre-planned response,

(v) provide real-time tracking of the retrieved pre-planned response being executed by the associated response assets, and

(vi) selectively generate recommendations for modifying the retrieved pre-planned response.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pre-planned response database comprises data representative of a plurality of pre-planned responses to be executed by the associated response assets.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the area maps database comprises data representative of various areas, buildings, and floor plans.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the asset database comprises data representative of various assets.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the documents and standards database comprises data representative of standard operating procedures.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the modeling and training database comprises data representative of prior responses.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the telemetry database comprises data representative of telemetry, commands, messages, and sensor feeds.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a user interface in operable communication with the processing system and configured to selectively render and implement one or more I/O screens, icons, and controls.

9. A system for planning and executing a response to an incident, comprising:

a planning and execution data source; and

a processing system in operable communication with the planning and execution data source, the processing system configured to:

(i) generate pre-planned responses to be executed by associated response assets,

(ii) store data representative of the pre-planned responses in the planning and execution database;

(iii) selectively retrieve a pre-planned response from the planning and execution database,

(iv) communicate with the response assets associated with the retrieved pre-planned response,

(v) provide real-time tracking of the retrieved pre-planned response being executed by the associated response assets,

(vi) selectively generate recommendations for modifying the retrieved pre-planned response, and

(vii) implement an incident pre-planning function, an incident execution function, and a modeling and training function.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the incident pre-planning function is configured to :

generate the pre-planned responses to be executed by associated response assets; and

store the data representative of the pre-planned responses in the planning and execution database.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the incident preplanning function implements a situational pre-planner, an auto asset organizer, a status manager, and a team standard operating procedure recommender (TSR).

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the situational pre-planner is configure to retrieve a list of previously created responses from the planning and execution data source for display on a user interface.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the auto asset organizer is configured, upon selection of one of the pre-planned responses retrieved by the situational pre-planner, to assemble correct assets from all available assets.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein:

the auto asset is further configured to implement an asset linker (AL) and a virtual boundary manager (VBM);

the AL is configured to selectively tie together various assets 122 that may not be configured with the ability to self-identify or self-locate; and

the VBM is configured to allow a user, via a user interface, to graphically draw and label a virtual team boundary.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the status manager is configured to:

receive messages, status, and events from the each assets that is in operable communication with the processing system; and

maintain an on-going status chart of the assets for display on a user interface.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the TSR is configured to implement a primary rule engine to information in the planning and execution data source to generate recommendations and alerts.

17. The system of claim 9 , wherein the incident execution function is configured to selectively retrieve the pre-planned response from the planning and execution database, communicate with the response assets associated with the retrieved pre-planned response, provide real-time tracking of the retrieved pre-planned response being executed by the associated response assets, and selectively generate recommendations for modifying the retrieved pre-planned response.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the incident execution function is additionally configured to:

generate and display a list of desired assets; and

initiate an automated call to the desired assets.

19. The system of claim 9 , wherein the modeling and training function is configured to test the pre-planned responses and to assess actual responses upon completion thereof.

20. The system of claim 9 , further comprising:

a user interface in operable communication with the processing system and configured to selectively render and implement one or more I/O screens, icons, and controls.
