We’re excited to share the official public announcement for the FRST Challenge Phase Three Prize Winners!
The purpose of Phase 3 of the FRST Competition was to showcase each contestant's refined prototypes for a first responder tracking solution. Required deliverables included a complete system design, benchmark performance data including sensor data, and a video demonstration of the system in action.
“Phase Three submissions confirmed that competitors are developing viable technology on a path to saving first responder lives,” said Sonny Kirkley, FRST project director. “The submitted data demonstrated that solutions are becoming increasingly accurate and full of potential; therefore, the solution field continues to competitively narrow. We’re eager to see the solutions in person with Phase Four submission.”
