4 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a vehicle sensor cluster and the controller is further configured to:
determine, using sensor data from the vehicle sensor cluster, a directionality of the threat relative to the vehicle; and
provide, at the one or more graphical threat indications, an indication of the directionality.
5 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a vehicle sensor cluster and the controller is further configured to:
determine one or more of the threat, the threat type and a directionality of the threat, relative to the vehicle, using sensor data from the vehicle sensor cluster and external sensor data received from one or more external sensors.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
assign a score to a determination of the threat; and
control the vehicle display and the mobile display to switch to the threat mode when the score exceeds a threshold score.
7 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a vehicle sensor cluster and a communication interface, and the controller is further configured to:
provide, via the communication interface, one or more of sensor data from the vehicle sensor cluster and an indication of the threat to a dispatch server;
receive, via the communication interface, from the dispatch server, information associated with the threat; and
in the threat mode, control one or more of the vehicle display and the mobile display to provide the information associated with the threat.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a radio application, providing radio control information, is maintained at one or more of the vehicle display and the mobile display in the threat mode.
9 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a communication interface, and wherein the controller is further configured to:
receive, via the communication interface, an incident alert;
determine that the incident alert is associated with the threat;
determine, from the incident alert, respective priorities of the one or more graphical threat indications and the one or more threat-related applications; and,
control the vehicle display to arrange the one or more graphical threat indications and the one or more threat-related applications according to the respective priorities.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more graphical threat indications comprise one or more of:
a threat alert indication;
a directionality indication;
an image of the threat;
a telemetry indication; and
a drone image indication.
11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more threat-related applications comprise one or more of:
a suspect identifier application;
a threat identifier application;
a first responder backup application; and
a drone control application.
12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises one or more of:
an In-Car Processor (ICP) of the vehicle; and
a mobile processor of the mobile device.
13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more graphical threat indications and the one or more threat-related applications are at least initially provided in a form of respective icons or widgets.
14 . A method comprising:
determining, via a computing device, a threat associated with a vehicle; and a threat type, wherein the computing device comprises a processor; and
in response to determining the threat, controlling, via the computing device, a
vehicle display, of the vehicle, and a mobile display, of a mobile device communicatively coupled to the vehicle, to switch to a threat mode by:
controlling the vehicle display to: provide one or more graphical threat indications indicating one or more of:
the threat; and the threat type; and
controlling the mobile display to: provide one or more threat-related applications associated with the threat, at least one of the one or more threat-related applications for one or more of interacting with, and modifying, at least one of the one or more graphical threat indications at the vehicle display.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein controlling the vehicle display to switch to the threat mode comprises:
closing a portion of first non-threat related applications presently provided at the vehicle display, or pushing the portion of the first non-threat related applications to a background of the vehicle display.
16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein controlling the mobile display to switch to the threat mode comprises:
closing a portion of second non-threat related applications presently provided at the mobile display, pushing the portion of the second non-threat related applications to a background of the mobile display, or pushing the portion of second non-threat related applications to a background process of the mobile device.
17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the vehicle further comprises a vehicle sensor cluster, and the method further comprises:
determining, using sensor data from the vehicle sensor cluster, a directionality of the threat relative to the vehicle; and
providing, at the one or more graphical threat indications, an indication of the directionality.
