Common operating picture · what is situational awareness?

When it matters,
get everyone on the same map.

In a fast-moving incident your team is spread out and no one shares the same picture — positions get relayed by radio and decisions ride on stale information. SituationWare puts your whole team on one live map: real-time positions, shared markers and routes, group chat, and after-action playback — online, or in the field with no signal.

Capabilities

Everything you need for a shared operating picture

Live common operating picture

Real-time teammate positions on one shared map that everyone watches update together.

Tactical markers & symbology

Searchable icons with notes, hot/warm/cold threat zones, lock, and per-marker coordinates (DD/DMS/MGRS) with a street address.

Draw, measure & route

Sketch routes, filled areas and boxes in any color, measure distance, and read a live scale bar — on the map.

Fire-spread modeling

Project spread from an ignition point with wind direction and speed to stay ahead of it.

Team chat & situation log

A running situation feed beside the map keeps everyone aligned and timestamped.

Tabletop exercises

Run drills with an EXERCISE banner, facilitator injects, scheduled events and reusable scenarios.

Record & after-action playback

Replay positions, chat and map changes on a timeline to debrief and improve.

Offline-first field ops

Built for poor and intermittent coverage — keep working, then sync on reconnect.

Street, satellite & topo

Switch base maps on demand to match the terrain and the task.

Live weather overlays

Toggle real-time NWS radar, watches & warnings and FEMA flood zones, with a one-tap link to the local National Weather Service forecast.

Geo-referenced image overlays

Drape a floor plan, sketch or aerial photo over the live map so everyone sees it in place.

Capture photos, audio & video

Snap a photo, record audio or video right on a marker from the field — attached for the whole team.

Resources & documentation

Commanders share links and distribute documents — SOPs, maps, checklists — to every device.

Download maps for offline

Pre-cache an area before you go so the map keeps working with no signal in the field.

Who it's for

Built for the field

Emergency management

Keep command and responders on one picture during an evolving incident.

Search & rescue

Track teams across terrain, mark finds, and coordinate sweeps in real time.

Event & venue security

Position staff, share posts and routes, and respond together from one map.

Training & exercises

Run ready-made drills — tornado, wildfire, hurricane, flood, earthquake — with facilitator injects, then review the recording.

When it matters,
get everyone on the same map.
