The Air Force Sustainment Center launched a joint research and development project in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory and Small Business Innovation Research program. The project resulted in a new start-up company (Sentinel Occupational Safety, Inc.) and commercial technology, the SafeGuard Monitoring SystemTM, a sensors-based remote monitoring and alerting platform that allows a single safety attendant to reliably track many human entrants concurrently. SafeGuard also expands the oversight capability of safety attendants and provides automated problem detection and accelerated emergency response.
