Intergraph Awarded Public Safety Contract at Fort Bragg, North Carolina-Intergraph and UT-Battelle to Provide Consolidated E.911 Facility
Intergraph Corporation announced that it has been selected by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to assist in the design and implementation of a consolidated E.911 emergency dispatch system for the Integrated Incident Management Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. This important installation contract, worth $2 million, will deliver emergency public safety services to Fort Bragg, including the capability to interconnect emergency alerts, critical data and predictions of potential incidents to E.911 centers. The system will provide alerts over public safety mass notification networks for homeland security and public safety emergencies. The consolidated E.911 facility will also help provide mutual aid and secondary dispatch notification operations for Pope AFB and various city and county volunteer fire and rescue services in the Fort Bragg vicinity.
Working with ORNL and the Fort Bragg Public Safety Business Center, Intergraph will introduce its premier computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system to the Bragg Experimental SensorNet Testbed (BEST), a five-year research project to develop and implement standards-based interfaces between public safety answering points and smart sensor networks. Intergraph's participation in the project will provide a comprehensive, effective command and control system that facilitates situational awareness and preparedness via a common operating picture. The Intergraph CAD (I/CAD) system includes integrated, intelligent mapping, as well as system availability of 99 percent uptime.
"We are extremely proud to be a part of this effort," said Tom Young, Intergraph vice president. "We have a long and successful history of working with Fort Bragg and are delighted to help them develop one of the most impressive incident management centers in the world."
