Testing Activities
The ForeSight project’s integration, testing, and validation program refines the ForeSight tools and services to enhance first responders’ safety and efficiency in major disaster situations

The ForeSight project aims to empower civil protection agencies, including fire brigades, emergency medical teams, and other organizations, with advanced tools for managing urban fires and wildfires. These tools are designed to be deployable, modular, and cost-effective, developed through an iterative and interdisciplinary approach that incorporates extensive training and testing. Using an Agile methodology, ForeSight prototypes are validated through laboratory and field tests to ensure practical effectiveness.

Key stages include user workshops and technical integration events, where tools are refined based on real-world feedback. Three major workshops with end-users focus on gathering requirements, demonstrating prototypes, and testing mock-ups, progressively aligning the tools with user needs. A Technical Integration Workshop (TIWS) ensures cohesive system operation by interconnecting tools and data early in the process. Component Field Tests (CFTs) allow testing of individual components in realistic environments, while two System Field Tests (SFTs) evaluate the entire toolset under challenging scenarios. The project culminates in a Demonstration Conference (DFC) to showcase results to stakeholders.

ForeSight also prioritizes end-user training through interactive materials such as webinars, simulations, and exercises, with resources made publicly accessible to foster adoption and awareness, enhancing the impact and visibility of its innovative emergency response solutions.
