Next Generation First Responder
Our nation’s first responders require innovative tools and technologies to stay ahead of the curve. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Next Generation First Responder (NGFR) program is working to make this possible. By leveraging advanced communications systems, drones and wearable technology, and connecting "Internet of Things" (IoT) devices and smart cities, NGFR hopes to equip first responders with the next generation of tools and technologies.
