Defense & Public Safety Analytics

In the defense, homeland security, and public safety arena, Fenix Solutions provides analytics services that help agencies anticipate and respond to threats, allocate resources optimally, and save lives. Our team members have worked with Department of Defense (DoD) units, law enforcement agencies, and emergency management authorities, bringing a deep understanding of the unique data challenges and security requirements in these fields.

Our Defense & Public Safety Analytics offerings cover:

• Emerging Threat Detection with AI/ML: We develop algorithms to identify and predict emerging threats, whether in the cyber domain, physical security, or military theater. For example, we created an AI model for a DoD client that analyzed open-source data and intelligence reports to flag early indicators of insurgent activity and potential hotspots, informing proactive force protection measuresbeafenix.net. We also apply natural language processing to monitor online spaces for extremist chatter or misinformation that could pose security risks.

• Mission Readiness and Logistics Analytics: Using operations research and predictive modeling, we help defense agencies ensure readiness of personnel and equipment. This includes supply chain analytics to forecast needs for critical supplies (ammunition, spare parts, medical supplies) and to detect bottlenecks or vulnerabilities in logistics. One project involved analyzing maintenance and usage data from a fleet of military vehicles to predict failures and optimize parts inventory – significantly reducing downtime. During COVID-19, we aided a National Guard unit by estimating when and where healthcare equipment shortages would occur, enabling timely distribution of ventilators and PPEbeafenix.net.

• Public Safety Resource Optimization: For fire departments, police departments, and emergency medical services, we provide data-driven tools to allocate resources where they are needed most. Fire Incident Analytics, for instance, can identify patterns in fire calls by location and time, helping city fire services reposition stations or adjust shift staffing for faster response. Our analysts have worked on models correlating weather, building code data, and historical incidents to predict fire risk zones – supporting fire prevention programs that focus on high-risk neighborhoods (this directly ties into Fenix’s mission of enabling clients to “be a Phoenix” rising from potential fire-related disasters).

• Crime Analytics and Predictive Policing: We carefully implement analytics for law enforcement that respect privacy and civil liberties while improving effectiveness. By examining crime data alongside socioeconomic factors, we assist police departments in developing data-informed patrol strategies and community interventions. We avoid biased AI by rigorously testing models and involving community stakeholders in designing analytic approaches. The result is smarter policing strategies that can reduce crime rates and build public trust.

• Border Security and Transportation Safety: Fenix has capabilities in analyzing large datasets from sensors, surveillance, and inspections to enhance border and transportation security. For example, analyzing patterns in cargo shipment data and travel records to identify anomalies that might indicate smuggling or trafficking (complementing existing systems like ICE’s analytics). We also use geospatial analytics to optimize placement of checkpoints or the routing of patrols along borders or transportation networks.

• Integrated Emergency Management Analytics: We offer solutions that integrate data across emergency services – combining 911 call data, disaster models (for floods, hurricanes, etc.), hospital capacity, and traffic flows to help officials simulate and plan for disasters. These analytics inform evacuation planning, mutual aid agreements between jurisdictions, and real-time decision support during incidents (e.g., dashboards that track resource deployment and shelter occupancy during a hurricane).

Our defense and public safety work adheres to stringent security protocols (up to DoD IL5 environments or equivalent). Many team members carry active security clearances. We produce analytics that are explainable and auditable – a critical factor for adoption in the defense community where commanders must trust and understand the basis of AI recommendations.

By leveraging Fenix’s defense and public safety analytics, agencies gain heightened situational awareness, faster response times, and predictive capabilities that transform how they safeguard the nation and communities. We are proud that our work in this domain directly contributes to saving lives and strengthening national security, from supporting troops on the front lines with better intel to helping first responders be there when it counts the most.
