Innovation in public safety is of increasing importance globally. The WASP Research Arena for Public Safety (WARA PS) promotes research in collaborative heterogenous agents and systems - with the mission to keep society safe.
Objective of WARA PS
The objective of WARA PS is to bridge industry, academia and society together to co-create, develop and validate technology with real-world impact in the public safety domain. This is achieved by providing an arena that focuses on teams of humans and systems acting and interacting in scenarios derived from needs and challenges from end users.
Research Focus Areas
We support research in all domains; air, sea, underwater, land, space and cyber. The approach is scenario-driven where research is based on and guided by societal challenges and handling unforeseen events. Our aim is to promote and validate research with real-world impact for government and industry.
Resources
WARA PS provides multiple resources that can be used for research and data collection purposes. This includes manned and unmanned aerial, surface, sub-surface, and ground vehicles equipped with sensors and advanced positioning systems. WARA PS offers a shared integration infrastructure, the Core System, that can be used for integration, experiments and data collections.
The Community and Core Team
WARA PS has a fast-growing community consisting of industry, academia and government agencies, collaborating to define and address current and future challenges. The arena is led by the Core Team, consisting of representatives from Linköping University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Saab Kockums, Combitech, Ericsson and Sectra Communications. The role of the Core Team is to support researchers with integration, onboarding and data collections. Please visit portal.waraps.org if you are interested in learning more and connecting with us.
