LCMS mobile supports coordination of large-scale to wild-fires. LCMS mobile complements the visualisation of incident location, firefighting locations, fire control lines, water extraction points with functionality for command and control of units, vehicles and materiel. Unit commanders are supported with real-time visualisation of actual vehicle locations, deployment locations and logistic points of interest.
