Today, Magen David Adom unveiled a multi-million dollar
command truck designed to direct rescue operations on the most difficult
terrain and during cellular network failure.
The creation of the tractor trailer- sized command truck was
motivated by the Mt. Carmel forest fire in 2010.
The “National Mobile Command and Control Vehicle” is the
most technologically advanced command vehicle in the world, reports the
Jerusalem Post. Inside the command truck, as many as five dispatchers and 18
officials can observe more than two dozen flat-screen computers and TVs, which
display dispatch information and the location of every ambulance in Israel. At
the truck’s nerve center, a single dispatcher can control six different
monitors and use nine different phones and radios, all arrayed neatly on a desk
and connected to the police and rescue networks.
