The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Next Generation First Responder (NGFR) program seeks to develop and integrate next-generation technologies by testing and evaluating first responder technologies during integration demonstration events. During these events, first responder participants use prototype technologies in a fictional scenario--such as a missing person case, an active shooter event, or a chemical spill--and are asked to share their feedback on how the technology worked in the context of their emergency response to the scenario, including whether the technologies made them more effective, efficient or safe. The information collected during these events will help provide insight about how to improve technologies for first responders and will help DHS define whether or not the event was successful. Additionally, the feedback and evaluation DHS receives will be used in knowledge products that will then be distributed to other state and local first responder organizations.

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and 
Technology Directorate (S&T) Next Generation First Responder (NGFR) 
program seeks to develop and integrate next-generation technologies by 
testing and evaluating first responder technologies during integration 
demonstration events. During these events, first responder participants 
use prototype technologies in a fictional scenario--such as a missing 
person case, an active shooter event, or a chemical spill--and are 
asked to share their feedback on how the technology worked in the 
context of their emergency response to the scenario, including whether 
the technologies made them more effective, efficient or safe.
    The information collected during these events will help provide 
insight about how to improve technologies for first responders and will 
help DHS define whether or not the event was successful. Additionally, 
the feedback and evaluation DHS receives will be used in knowledge 
products that will then be distributed to other state and local first 
responder organizations.
