SYNERGISE will develop and demonstrate a Novel Integrated Toolkit for Collaborative Response and Enhanced Situational Awareness (NIT-CRES)
The SYNERGISE project, funded by the Horizon Europe funding program, seeks to enhance the efficiency and safety of first responders during life-saving missions.
To achieve this, the SYNERGISE team will develop a Novel Integrated Toolkit for Collaborative Response and Enhanced Situational Awareness (NIT-CRES), designed to facilitate emergency response missions.
The SYNERGISE novel Toolkit will:
- Boost situational awareness and sense-making by offering first responders the means to autonomously and synergistically perform indoor and outdoor exploration of incident sites towards victim detection.
- Receive at all times information about responders’ position and vitals as well as analyses of passive and active threats and hazards at the area of operations.
- Upgrade collaborative response and incident as well as resources management by continuously sharing and updating the common operational picture across deployed teams, among the chain of command and between participating agencies.
- Equip the first responders at all fronts by delivering novel, affordable, accepted, and customized response tools and services as part of their operational assets.

SYNERGISE Component Field Test 2 in Poland – April 2025 | Advancing Disaster Response Technologies
The second Component Field Test (CFT2) of the SYNERGISE project took place in Poland in April 2025, marking a crucial step in the development of next-generation disaster response technologies. As a first responder–driven project, SYNERGISE puts end users at the center of the process—ensuring that the tools developed truly meet their operational needs.
SYNERGISE Technologies in Action | Live Demo at CERIS First Responder Workshop, March 2025
This live demonstration, held during the CERIS First Responder Workshop in Brussels on March 27, 2025, showcased key SYNERGISE technologies currently under development. Featured tools included the SYSNAV Foot Tracker, Wearin’s smart vest, and ASTRIAL’s Command & Control Center—each designed to enhance first responder safety, improve situational awareness, and support more effective decision-making in emergency operations.
ANYmal: Advancing Robotic Solutions in the SYNERGISE project
This video showcases ANYmal, ETH Zurich’s advanced four-legged robot, adapted for the SYNERGISE project to support disaster response. Equipped with tools like a robotic arm, gas probe, and thermal camera, ANYmal can navigate rough terrain, map environments, and deploy other robotic systems—such as the OWL drone and SNAKE robot—which are also being further developed within the project.
