Abstract
The importance of effective response to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) dangers is growing constantly. These hazards are not directly detectable by human senses and thus no inborn reactions exist. As a consequence, special tools to detect these dangers have to be utilized. Although some “simulation games” try to portray certain levels of management of CBRN incidents, there is a substantial lack of realistic and holistic training instruments for First Responders. The project SimRad creates the basis for a user centered, systematic technology for training and communication in emergency situations using a process view. This includes real life Best Practices of effective management of CBRN crises and First Responder education. It provides the foundation for near-realistic simulations for training of individual subprocesses and communication methods by the use of software intensive simulation technologies such as Mixed Reality.
