The ground station links data, video from ground-based cameras, an unmanned aerial vehicle and a helicopter-based mobile phone detection system.
The system can also process information from mobile phones to track causalities and ground-based personnel, displaying their location on a detailed map, which will help teams prioritise treatment and focus their efforts on the worst hit areas.
MARIUS is funded by the European Commission and is a joint project between 12 industrial and academic partners across five countries, coordinated by EADS.
