During the Safety and Rescue Fair, the Specialist Rescue Service (SRS) stand will be educational, demonstrative, and interactive. Our goal is to promote safety, first aid, and to present the specialist rescue operations carried out by our organization.

The stand will offer short, practical training sessions on:cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),AED use,choking procedures,stopping massive bleeding,safety rules at the scene of an incident.Participants will be able to practice rescue procedures themselves under the supervision of SRS instructors.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

We will conduct educational tests using:alcohol goggles,drug goggles.Participants will be able to perform simple coordination and manual tasks to see how alcohol and psychoactive substances affect perception, reaction time, and situation assessment. The goal is to raise awareness of the risks and promote responsible behavior.

Visitors to the stand will be able to:learn about the specific activities of the search and rescue group,see the equipment used,find out how a search operation is organized,talk to rescuers about real-life activities in the field.We will present our operating procedures and cooperation with other services.

As part of the water rescue section presentation, we will present:basic water rescue equipment,water safety rules,procedures for rescuing a drowning person,preventive and educational activities carried out by the SRS.There will be an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the equipment and discuss real-life scenarios.

Visitors will learn about:the scope of activities of the Animal Rescue Section,first aid procedures for animals,rules for the safe transport of animals,cooperation with veterinarians and public services.We will present the specialized equipment used during interventions.

During the Safety and Rescue fair, the Specialist Rescue Services stand will also be a venue for substantive discussions on civil protection and civil defense in the broadest sense.In the face of contemporary threats – natural crises, critical infrastructure failures, hybrid threats, mass evacuations, and military events – there is a growing need for professional preparation of both public institutions and local communities. 

Civil protection educationWe discuss:building social resilience,preparing residents for emergency situations,organizing aid and support centers,the principles of civil protection structures,the role of non-governmental organizations in the state security system. 

\We present models of cooperation between:local governments,schools,workplaces,social organizations,and emergency services.

Training offer for administration and local governmentsSRS offers specialized training in:evacuation planning and organization,creating crisis response procedures,organizing assembly points and aid stations,securing mass events,information management in crisis situations,the basics of rescue operations for government employees.

Training courses can be:theoretical (expert lectures),workshop-based (scenario analysis),practical (crisis situation simulations).

Training for companies and workplaces

As part of civil protection, we offer programs for the private sector covering:preparing employees for emergency situations,evacuation procedures,responding to crisis situations. dealing with chemical, fire, and terrorist threats,providing first aid in mass incidents.We emphasize the importance of:employer responsibility,real exercises instead of just documentation,building a culture of safety within the organization. Training for schools and educational institutionsAt our stand, we discuss educational programs for:school administrators,teachers,students.The scope includes, among others:behavior in emergency situations,evacuation procedures,first aid in the school environment,responding to crisis situations and aggression,building awareness of threats among young people.

Exercises and simulations

One of the key elements of our offer are:mass event simulations,evacuation drills,decision-making workshops for management staff,scenario-based training games. During the fair, we present sample exercise scenarios and discuss how to prepare and implement them.

The role of social organizations in the security systemAt our stand, we will be discussing:cooperation between NGOs and public administration,support for rescue operations in crisis situations,the involvement of volunteers in civil protection,building local response structures.We present the SRS's experience in operational, training, and educational activities.The nature of the stand in the area of civil protectionThis part of the stand will be:expert,consultative,training,strategic.We invite representatives of:local government units,uniformed services,public institutions,private companies,schools and educational institutions,social organizations.

Our goal is to raise awareness that civil protection is not only a legal obligation, but also involves real actions, procedures, and competencies that must be systematically developed.

1) Operational challenges

Lack of infrastructure / destroyed infrastructure

Operations on the move (convoys, assaults,pursuits,evacuations)

Requirements: voice + video + IP + location in a single system

2) MANET – definition and significance in operations

Mobile: changing conditions and routes

Ad-Hoc: no central HUB

Network: access to resources and information sharing

3) Wave Relay – how it works in practiceeach node = router + host

multi-hop (automatic relaying)

self-forming / self-healing network

4) Tactical benefits (for commander and operator)

no single point of failure (no ‘one radio that kills the network’)

node entry/exit without interruption

low latency

‘foolproof’ — minimal maintenance

5) 3x3 MIMO — why it matters in combat

better performance without LOS (NLOS)

urbanised environment and difficult terrainup 

to ~120 Mbps (depending on configuration)

more stable video and lower risk of packet loss

6) Network scalability and resilience

large networks (example: 320 nodes)

expandable without rebuilding the architecture

extending coverage through additional nodes

7) Experience and implementations (credibility)

UK: Royal Marines / UK Army (CAIN)

USA: NGC2, USAF, US Marines, CRW, SWAT

NATO / FMS: Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, etc.

8) Allies ecosystem: operational integrations

UGV robots (Tomahawk Robotics)

drones (TEAL)

ground platforms (Vision60)

HALO OPS (operational layer / management)

How to defend against drones cheaply and effectively – lasers, interceptor drones and scalable defenceThe mass use of cheap drones has turned the economics of defence on its head: the cost of neutralisation often exceeds the cost of attack, and classic anti-aircraft measures are difficult to maintain at scale. In this presentation, I will show practical criteria for evaluating counter-drone systems (C-UAS) and compare approaches based on lasers, interceptor drones and traditional kinetic methods. I will also discuss key implementation bottlenecks: C2 integration, logistics and the role of trained pilots and operators.

The unmanned systems market is entering a phase where technological innovations are not enough to achieve scale. The panel will focus on the conditions for building an autonomous unmanned industry, understood as one capable of independent development based on national and European technological expertise , a predictable legal framework for artificial intelligence, and access to strategic capital. The discussion will focus on the role of AI law, public and private funding, and cooperation between the state and the market in creating a sustainable, competitive ecosystem for drones and autonomous systems in Poland.

Faced with growing threats and a dynamic operating environment, the military and critical infrastructure operators need systems that provide rapid reconnaissance, continuous surveillance and secure data processing. This presentation will show how modern unmanned technologies – from autonomous drones with stations, through tethered systems and FPV platforms, to 3D analytical software – increase situational awareness, reduce response times and minimise risks to personnel.

Is it possible to reduce field measurement time by 75%?Technological evolution in engineering surveying is not just about new gadgets, it is about real business optimisation. The presentation will guide participants through the entire technological chain: from a ‘bird's eye view’ (UAV), through precise point measurements using lasers and AR (Visual GNSS), to rapid inventory of cubic objects (SLAM).Discover modern measurement solutions that bridge the gap between surveying and classic tachymetry, and see how multi-sensor data fusion works in practice.

In an era of increasing production dynamics, autonomous transport systems are becoming a key element of intralogistics. However, for maintenance engineers and integrators, the diversity of AGV/AMR systems often means diagnostic problems and incompatibility. The presentation of the Siemens SIMOVE solution introduces the concept of an open platform that transfers vehicle control logic directly to the familiar TIA Portal environment. Instead of closed ‘black box’ systems, SIMOVE offersfull code transparency,scalability and standardised communication between the fleet and the master control system.

 During the session, you will learn:

How to reduce AGV/AMR implementation time with ready-made Carrier Control and Master Control libraries.

How interface standardisation facilitates the management of fleets from different suppliers.

How to use a digital twin to virtually commission a transport system before it enters the production hall.
