As threats from chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) materials continue to grow, agencies must adopt advanced technologies to detect and respond swiftly. From industrial spills to intentional attacks during public events, environmental hazards present real and growing risks. Safe Environment Engineering, in collaboration with Samsung, offers an innovative, mobile-first solution that empowers public safety professionals with real-time environmental data and situational awareness.
At the core of this system is the Samsung Galaxy XCover6 Pro, a rugged, field-ready mobile device running Safe Environment Engineering’s Lifeline software suite. Paired with either the X-Site Live Kit or the Smart LINC End User Device (EUD), this system collects, displays, and shares data from a variety of environmental sensors. These tools allow field teams to detect and visualize toxic gases, radiation, and particulate matter in real time—crucial data that can guide rapid decision-making in the face of a potential disaster.
What sets this solution apart is its seamless integration with the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK). As environmental data is collected, it’s automatically shared through ATAK, where it’s overlaid with maps, personnel locations, evacuation routes, drone video feeds, and even projected plume movement. This creates a common operating picture across multiple agencies, allowing federal, state, and local teams to coordinate effectively.
The system was recently put to the test during the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. The Los Angeles Fire Department used Safe Environment Engineering’s solution to monitor air quality and provide live updates that influenced evacuation strategies and firefighter safety measures. This technology is now used in ongoing recovery efforts to ensure community health and worker safety.
Safe Environment Engineering’s ruggedized, mobile-ready tools deliver the reliability, connectivity, and intelligence needed to respond to today’s dynamic threats. Whether you're planning for a high-profile event or preparing for environmental disasters, your agency needs the tools to act fast and share data efficiently.
