The C4 platform (Command – Control – Coordination – Communication) ensures consistent execution of civil protection plans, with aerial monitoring by drones and tethered drones.
In a constantly changing world, PANGAEA R&D® addresses the complex dimension of modern preparedness and readiness. Beyond climate challenges, the increasing frequency of scalable and complex disasters demands highly coordinated operational responses.
Our core service is the C4 platform, an integrated software ecosystem (D4H) that ensures civil protection plans are executed consistently and effectively. It acts as an “extra team member”, guiding your organisation through a structured, swift and organised response to any incident.
PANGAEA R&D® is developing an integrated, innovative digital platform for crisis management and operational awareness of the C4 type (Command – Control – Coordination – Communication), with first application in the Region of Thessaly, under the Thessaly Regional Programme (“Αναπτύσσομαι Έξυπνα στην Περιφέρεια Θεσσαλίας 2026”).
Thessaly is highly exposed to floods, extreme weather, forest fires and disruption of critical infrastructure. The platform supports prevention, preparedness, response and management of natural and technological hazards in real time, moving civil protection from a fragmented, reactive model to a proactive, coordinated and evidence-based decision system.
Mature SaaS, GIS, Copernicus satellite data, IoT stations and drones combined into one Common Operating Picture.
A structured Incident Command System, standard procedures, audit trail and multichannel early warning, cutting response time.
Specialised digital risk-management services as Software as a Service, at regional and national level.
Aligned with the Thessaly Regional Programme, the National Development Programme 2026–2030 and the Regional Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3).
The cloud platform integrates an Incident Command / Incident Management System (ICS/IMS), digital forms, status boards, GIS maps, an audit trail of actions and decisions, and real-time monitoring, with clear command structure, defined roles and pre-set operational plans.
An edge command node in the field that keeps operations running when power or communication networks are down, with on-site display of the COP.
High-resolution images and video for mapping affected areas and monitoring hazards, combined in the platform with GIS and satellite data.
A green-mobility field tool for installing and servicing IoT weather stations, collecting field data and taking measurements across Thessaly.
A pilot LoRaWAN network of gateways, multi-parameter weather sensors, data loggers and locators, sending data over LoRaWAN and 4G to the C4 platform.
Images are visualisations from the C4 investment plan.
A unified dashboard for situational awareness, SITREPs and live chat and updates.
Digital forms, automated organisation charts and pre-planned incident playbooks.
Esri ArcGIS integration for data visualisation, danger-zone overlays and real-time incident mapping.
We use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) equipped with specialised sensors for data collection, field monitoring and precision applications, feeding the C4 platform with live aerial imagery and supporting our smart-agriculture work as well.
Multi- and hyperspectral imaging for crop and land assessment.
Regular surveys to detect spatial variation and changes over time.
High-accuracy operations guided by field data.
We use drone technology (Mobile Unit-C2) to enhance field intelligence and data capture.
For hours-long live imagery over an incident, see our tethered drone systems (ELISTAIR KHRONOS, SAFE-T 2, LIGH-T 4) below.
A tethered drone stays airborne for hours, powered through a light micro-tether from a ground station, with secure, high-speed data over the same cable. For civil protection this means a permanent live picture over floods, wildfires and large events, and a raised antenna for field communications. We work with the solutions of ELISTAIR, a French tethered-drone company whose systems are used by first responders and security agencies worldwide.
A complete, fully automated system (tethered drone, power and landing station, and T-Planner 2 control software) built to be mounted on a vehicle or fixed site and deployed without leaving the vehicle.
A ruggedised station for the most demanding missions, keeping drones such as the DJI M400 airborne for hours with continuous overwatch and secure data transfer. Approved by the French Civil Aviation Authority.
A portable station on wheels for fast deployment by first responders, trusted in more than 70 countries, including in a multi-refinery fire exercise in Greece.
Product information, images and brochures: ELISTAIR (elistair.com). KHRONOS, SAFE-T and LIGH-T are products of ELISTAIR.
Multi-channel notifications by SMS, voice call, WhatsApp and email, with two-way alerts and delivery audit trails to ensure team accountability.
Digital inventory tracking with barcodes, recurring inspections and proactive maintenance alerts, so everything is ready to respond.
Management of qualifications, attendance tracking and K9/handler training logs.
We deploy IoT-enabled weather stations and environmental sensors for monitoring floods, wildfires and earthquakes in real time.
The platform is ISO 27001:2022 certified, meeting international standards for information security and risk management. It is trusted by more than 100,000 emergency managers and responders in 37 countries, across the public and private sectors.
