CBRN/HazMat

Our CBRN/HazMat Consultancy Capabilities

Our end-to-end CBRN/HazMat consultancy enables greater intelligence surrounding the entire timeline of CBRN/HazMat incident response, from pre-emptive planning and training, to post-event impact assessment and strategy deployment:

Advanced Threat Detection

Riskaware can provide critical intelligence that enables enhanced detection and early understanding of CBRN/HazMat threats. Our advanced statistical algorithms provide in-depth analysis for the optimal placement of different sensors to maximise scarce resources and optimise threat detection configurations to maximise the probability of detection and ensure early warning.

We also develop and employ high-fidelity data fusion algorithms to estimate hazard source characteristics and location, based on sensor readings and threat modelling, supported by additional data sources. Using sensor data fusion, we can also maximise the probability of detection and ensure early threat warning.

These capabilities can be brought together to facilitate the implementation of integrated sensor management systems, to support operational planning and CBRN incident response for large events, military base defence, commercial contaminant leaks, and more.

Hazard Modelling and Prediction

Riskaware can model the behaviour of a given hazard, such as predicting the movements of airborne contaminants in both indoor and outdoor environments, taking into account the surrounding factors such as wind flow, material properties, land usage, and urban topography.

Our capabilities in this area include dispersion modelling, combined indoor/outdoor modelling, the creation of multi-agent systems, and meteorological modelling. Based on these analyses, we can provide increased insight into how a hazard is likely to travel and disperse downwind, both for simulated incidents and evolving events.

Human Effect Analysis

Through our various modelling capabilities, we can analyse the potential human health effects as a result of a CBRN/HazMat incident, providing intelligence to help mitigate these effects and protect more people.

Our impact assessments include analysis of large-scale effects on surrounding populations, such as due to a chemical explosion, and targeted impacts on smaller groups or individuals.

We also provide consultancy for testing the effectiveness of CBRN/HazMat safety solutions at mitigating threats to users, for example studying the levels of material penetration for fumigation cupboards, PPE suits, and respirators, or to analyse the effects of heat strain resulting from active use of PPE equipment.

Threat Mitigation and Response

Riskaware delivers CBRN/HazMat hazard awareness and information management consultancy to aid tactical decision-making for mitigating threats. This consultancy can be applied for planning, training, and evaluating incident response.

We can support live scenario analysis to help key organisations determine the most effective strategy as incidents evolve. We also provide proactive consultancy to support informed response training and strategy testing, through in-depth workshop exercises and scenario development.
