Open Advanced System for Disaster and Emergency Management (OASIS)
EADS led major consortiums, which include Ericsson and Cranfield University, on a number of European Union programmes. Project OASIS (Open Advanced System for Disaster and Emergency Management) was established for the cross border management of crises, and supported by the UK Government. OASIS’ objective is to define and develop an information technology framework based on an open and flexible architecture using standards; existing or proposed by OASIS. This is the basis of a European Disaster and Emergency Management system, which enables the delivery of an information and communications framework to enable civil and military agencies to interoperate on local, national or European levels.
