Real-Time Indoor Visualization System Fact Sheet

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T)-sponsored the C-THRU Real-Time Indoor Visualization System, which enables first responders to see surface edges and detect exit routes quickly. C-THRU is a real-time, helmet-mounted indoor visualization system currently in development that makes hazardous environments navigable and shares critical information. Because of this vital situational awareness tool, first responders will no longer be handicapped in smoky, dark, low-visibility environments.
