The promotional video is now available on our YouTube channel.
The CHIMERA Final Demonstration, held on 18–19 June 2026, marked the culmination of three years of research and development carried out within the CHIMERA Horizon Europe project. The event provided an opportunity to present and validate the developed technologies in realistic CBRN-E threat scenarios, with the involvement of project partners, emergency services and local Volunteer Fire Brigades.
The first day, hosted at the Fire University, combined a conference and technical session presenting the project’s key results, developed solutions, validation activities and end-user perspectives. The second day took place at the Fire University’s Training Ground and Logistics and Development Base in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki and focused on operational demonstrations. The CHIMERA system was tested across four scenarios: a tanker traffic accident, an incident during a mass gathering, a radiological incident at critical infrastructure, and an integrated scenario based on simulated data from Rotterdam.
The demonstration highlighted the practical value of CHIMERA for civil protection and emergency response in complex urban environments. By combining CBRN detection and identification, data fusion, visualisation, dispersion modelling and decision support in a single operational environment, CHIMERA supports responders in rapidly assessing threats, understanding their potential spread, identifying areas at risk and planning appropriate response measures.
