Crimson, the sovereign European solution for hypervision and commandand control of critical operations, once again demonstrates its versatility and efficiency for maritime operations in two completely different contexts: the NATO REPMUS 2025 exercise and the Jules Verne Trophy, a nautical challenge that rewards the fastest crewed, non-stop, and unassisted circumnavigation of the globe under sail.

REPMUS 2025 

In September 2025, CS Group took part in the NATO REPMUS 2025 exercise (Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping Using Maritime Uncrewed Systems) with its product Crimson Sandbox product, a version of the Crimson product line dedicated to the design and assessment of ConOps, the planning of operations and wargaming/training exercises.This participation took place in the frame of the European ISeamore project, which selected Crimson to design maritime surveillance CONOPS and plan operations involving both human and autonomous or remotely operated assets (e.g., all types of drones, stratospheric balloons, space systems).

Jules Verne Trophy 

In a completely different context, Crimson is also currently deployed for the record attempt for a round-the-world sailing trip by the “The Famous Project” crew as part of the Jules Verne Trophy. The system enables real-time tracking of the maxi-trimarantrimaran Idec Sport, its sensors, maritime traffic, and weather and ocean conditions via a monitoring and routing platform that includes, among other features, an iceberg detection module. 

 

We're thrilled and deeply grateful to see our Crimson product honored by the European Commission at hashtagSecurity Research Event 2025 with the Security Innovation Award 2025, which recognizes the innovation with the greatest impact on the security of the European Union. This award is a significant recognition of the particularly innovative nature of our field-proven product. For several years, it has made important and consistent contributions to advancing the state of the art in its field. Its widespread adoption in both civilian and military domains, as well as by numerous European projects (which have made it a reference research platform for both Horizon Europe and the European Defence Fund), confirms Crimson's significant impact on European security both in the research world and for the most critical operational applications.

We embarked on this Crimson adventure in a PASR RTD project quite some time ago following the devastating AZF factory explosion in Toulouse, our hometown.

Innovation often requires time, not to mention a fair amount of luck.

We had a vision: to use our expertise in virtual reality and simulation to develop tools to train first responders to manage such disasters. At the time, we believed that changing end-users’ operational methods and tools was out of reach. But we were wrong. Crimson was actually adopted for crisis management first, before training.

Looking ahead, we are more motivated than ever to serve the protection and defense of European populations, public and natural sites, and critical infrastructures. Crimson is now spreading across Europe into other domains and, recently, into the defence sector to enable more effective inter-organizational, multi-domain, and cross-border collaboration during major incidents and crisis.

This award fuels our ambition to continue innovating, pushing the boundaries of what's possible to support those who protect us.

It is with particularly high honor that we see Crimson adopted by European projects as a research platform for inventing next-generation security and defence systems and benefit from Crimson to accelerate innovation and open a direct path to exploitation and adoption.

We invite you to discover CERBERE through the superb video recently published by the French Army.

Since 2017, CS GROUP has been developing the central CERBERE system for the Army, in partnership with Thales. This includes ExCon("Exercise Control"), which equips the Operational Center as well as field instructors and is based on Crimson/VirtualGeo technology.

The CERBERE system is used at the urban combat training center (Cenzub), a European reference for preparing land forces. Located in Sissonne, it is affiliated with the 94th Infantry Regiment and trains around 15,000 soldiers each year, both French and international. CERBERE enables real-time combat monitoring through interactive maps, hundreds of cameras, and realistic special effects (smoke grenades, simulated gunfire, ambient noise). With its infantry units, AMX-30 tank platoon, and armored vehicles, the opposing force (Forad) also plays a key role in training rotating units. Cenzub is also an innovation laboratory, featuring reconnaissance drones, combat robots like the Probot equipped with a 12.7 mm machine gun, and even armed drones like the Avatar, capable of fire support and intelligence missions.

A similar infrastructure is currently being deployed at CENTAC in Mailly Le Camp.

With four operational bases and a headquarters in Paris, this military brigade, made available to the Ministry of the Interior, is a key element in the national support resources for the Fire and Rescue Services, as well as in the context of international deployments.

The Entente Valabre has just begun deploying Crimson Tactic to the regiments in Brignoles, Nogent-le-Rotrou, Libourne and the unit in Corte. Crimson will enable these units to share operational information effectively with civil fire brigades, and to have a modern solution in common with other civil protection organisations for commanding operations in the field, wherever they may be in the world.

This deployment also marks a significant step forward in strengthening the French national capacity to manage major disasters, such as those this year in Mayotte and Reunion Island for which Crimson has been a cornerstone of the response.

Crimson TACTIC has reached an exceptional level of coverage across France, reinforcing its position as the reference platform for the protection of populations and the management of crises. This milestone enables the joint coordination of operations involving multiple stakeholders, from local responders to interministerial authorities, for effective incident management and escalation to major crises:

✅ Deployed in 75% of SDIS (Departmental Fire and Rescue Services)
✅ Present in 100% of COZs (Zonal Operational Centers), including overseas territories
✅ Operational within the COGIC (Interministerial Crisis Management Operations Center)

Thanks to its interoperability with NEXIS, Crimson has now established itself as the reference platform in France for civil security coordination and disaster management.

This milestone marks a new era in crisis management in France, with a unified, reliable, and interconnected solution at the national level.

The Crimson Tactic User Day will take place on Thursday, November 07, 2024 from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm at ENTENTE Valabre.

We are very proud to announce the deployment of CRIMSON, the award-winning flagship multidomain Command & Control System, in Austria, Italy, Greece, Spain, and Turkey, from January 2024, for advanced Crisis Management and Triage of victims of mass casualties incidents .

This deployment takes place in the final phase of the @iProcureSecurity PCP project that received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The iProcureSecurity PCP groupment of Buyers has selected the i-TRIER European consortium to develop and validate a complete platform integrating Crimson with a highly flexible and innovative #Triage solution, a victims’ Transportation Optimization system and Interoperability capabilities with citizen and hospital Health Records to enhance the effectiveness of Mass Casualty Incident management.

i-TRIER is a flexible, modular, open, interoperable yet strongly integrated Triage Management solution that aims to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Civil Protection agencies in decision making, management and response to major emergencies related to natural disasters or man-made incidents, meeting the requirements of iProcureSecurity PCP.

The i-TRIER consortium brings together a team of Market-Leading Industrial Partners (CS GROUP-France, BETA80-Italy, ERC-Turkey) with a strong record in integrating their solutions in the operational systems of Civil Protection Agencies, Ambulance Dispatch Centers and Hospitals, a well-established in the Personal Health Data management domain and innovative SME (Gnomon-Greece) as well as two renowned research institutes (ICCS-Greece, and UPO-CRIMEDIM-Italy) with a unique signature in leading research in the Technologies for First Responders and in the Disaster Medicine domains.

Crimson User Day 2023

On the 9th of November, our partner Entente Valabre organised the Crimson User Day 2023 at the French civil security school in Gardanne. This event brought together a large Crimson community: approximately 130 participants, including some 40 members of the French departmental fire and rescue services, the defence operational centres, the interministerial operational crisis management centre, the forest fire brigade of the Alpes-Maritimes and the Estérel Côte d'Azur agglomeration.

The theme of the event stemmed from the Anglo-Saxon concept of a Common Operational Picture (COP), i.e. a common vision, in real time, of the situation shared by the various stakeholders to promote coordination and collaboration during operations or emergency situations.

The morning was devoted to use cases and feedback from our users: Crimson-suited mobile command posts; the application of Crimson in emergency planning set-ups; and finally its use by local authorities for emergency plans.

Other topics discussed included Crimson's mapping environment, customised according to user needs, and the development of gateways to interconnect with departmental, zonal and national alert and operations management systems. Systel and the French digital agency of civil security were also present to talk about interfacing with Crimson.

In the afternoon, CS GROUP presented the latest Crimson release (the v7): the interface overhaul and the new functionalities, including a light Web version of Crimson. To encourage and facilitate exchanges between users and administrators, a new exchange platform for questions, best practices and requests has been set up for all Crimson users.

We are proud to announce that Crimson has been installed at the COGIC for the interministerial crisis supervision and management. The COGIC is the French national crisis management operational centre operating under the authority of the Ministry of the Interior. It analyses and manages natural and technological disasters, provides situational information and interfaces with the operational centres of other ministries, and coordinates the crisius management response and resources throughout the country.

Barely installed, Crimson demonstrated its effectiveness and robustness in monitoring, reporting and sharing information with the highest levels of government during the Ciarán storm in November 2023.

— Gérald DARMANIN (@GDarmanin) November 2, 2023

Crimson is a next-generation multi-domain Command and Control System offering highly innovative and value-added functionalities for the management of the most critical and demanding operations in a large number of contexts and scenarios.

We are honoured to see our product increasingly adopted by a wide range of European security organisations responsible for protecting public spaces and events such as major international sport events.

Taking into account the requirements collected from our civil protection, law enforcement, and defnse customers, and in consultation with Entente Valabre, Crimson V7 offers numerous functional improvements including an improved user interface, to make it even more intuitive, and technical improvements to ensure a level of service compatible with use by an ever-increasing number of organisations.

So, what's new?

• The most visible change is the revamped User Interface including a new dark theme to the existing light theme:

 
In addition to the additions of themes, the interface has been redesigned to harmonise the colours and make it easier to access the tool's various windows via a new navigation bar on the left.

• Improvements in server performance when used with a large number of users (> 50) and a large number of simultaneous data feeds, to enable better scaling in the event of a peak load.
• An enhanced Operational Command Management (OCM) tools :
• OCT: compliance with standards, frequency plan, sector categorisation ;

 

• Resource management: filtering by resource and type, actions when resources are disengaged ;
• Incident management: definition of an incident using a surface (e.g. GAAR), automatic naming, etc. ; 
  
• Initial order or SAOIECL: horizontal display, in columns, message colouring ;  
• Overview and Dashboards: more precise export, integration of the OCT, selection of headings to be included (main courante, summary of resources, table of victims, OCT, etc.)..  
• 
   
  • A fully revamped Crimson mobile application: the addition of coloured dots for free feedback, the ability to send an audio message from the incident file and the possibility of retrieving PDF documents relating to an incident.;
•  
  
  

  
  

  
  

  • The introduction of a brand-new "Crimson Web" light-weight client, enabling the Crimson session to be viewed on an interactive web page: a GOC-oriented view, displaying the cartography, the initial order, the report and the OCT, and a consultation of the SITAC and the data, without any input being possible.

  
  
  

  • Simplified deployment and updating of Crimson: the use of a silent installer for automated deployment on different workstations and the implementation of an automatic update system. 

Come and find out at the European Forum on Risk Governance and Societal Resilience organised by the Community for European Research and Innovation for Security (CERIS). This event is taking place on 16-17 May at the Espaces Vanel in Toulouse.
This is the opportunity to take a glimpse at upcoming innovations, gain an insight into Crimson-based developments, and also to meet the team and, perhaps, engage in new, successful collaborations... 
This event will allow us to demonstrate  the outcome of several European R&D projects we have been partaking in, such as:

- INTREPID (2020-23): INtelligent Toolkit for Reconnaissance and assessmEnt in Perilous InciDents

This project has revolved around securing rescue operations and ensuring the safety of prime responders through real-time situational awareness and operations management via Crimson.

- APPRAISE (2021-23): fAcilitating Public and Private SecuRity operAtors to mitigate TerrorIsm Scenarios against soft targEts

This project was designed to predict and prevent terrorist acts using Crimson as a Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) system, therewith monitoring physical sensors continuously and effectively, thus improving strategies for the protection of soft targets.

- RESCUER (2021-24) : first RESponder-Centered support toolkit for operating in adverse and infrastrUcture-less EnviRonments

This project aims at better protection for emergency responders using an holographic COP, an AR-rendering of Crimson's Common Operational Picture.

 

This new release consolidates the 6.0 version in terms of the server's optimisation and overhaul, enhancing significatively its performances.

This also opens us new possibilities for integrators to meet their specific needs by pushing Crimson's configuration and adaptation even further.

What are the new functionalities for users ?

• Access to key phrases in Crimson to facilitate text data entries;

• A new modern interface to deal with the various notifications received in Crimson;

• Various improvements regarding incident management and the conduct of operations:
  • the possibility to link missions to an incident and follow-up ongoing missions;
  • the management of an initial order and team reports to better access the exchanges with responders;
  • the improved integration of actions sheets;
  • the enhanced interface to pick a team;

• The possibility to easily display plans and synoptics to handle a situation;

• A new interface to create informal discussions between users (chat);

Below you will find a list of the events we are attending in 2022. We look forward, on these occasions, to presenting to you the Crimson product line and discussing your needs, whether to ensure the safety and security of your working sites and/or to conduct your operations.

Crimson has been a cornerstone of the third S4ALLCities exercice in Bilbao, Spain, last month. Much like the June pilot in Pilsen, Czech Republic, Crimson was key to visualising, qualifying and managing the incidents triggered by terrorist attacks, and therefore to effectively conducting civil protection operations. This exercise has been a great success in enabling project stakeholders and first responders to exploit Crimson in action and benefit from its innovative hypervision and command and control capabilities.

It offered enhanced situational awareness, support to operators and decision aid, thus facilitating interoperability and improving the crisis response time. 

.

Crimson, platform of choice of the civil protection organisations and French fire and rescue services for operational preparedness and mission management, will be a cornerstone of the European “Domino” Full-scale Exercise (FSX) that will take place from the 16th to the 20th of May 2022. DOMINO 2022 will involvef 1000+ responders from 5 member states of the European Union (France, Spain, Germany, Autria, Belgium) in an exercise mainly dealing with chemical risks with a disaster medicine component while taking into account a maritime pollution event

In keeping with the spirit of solidarity embodied by the European Union, the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) funds a number of civil security training exercises every year. ECHO’s main mission is to preserve lives, prevent and alleviate human suffering and safeguard the integrity and dignity of populations affected by natural or man-made disasters.

This 48-hours field exercise, culmination of one-and-a-half-year long preparatory process, will unfold under the umbrella of French, German and Spanish Ministries of the Interior, the Belgian Federal Public Service and the Entente Valabre for forest management in protected Mediterranean areas. The exercise will deal mainly with chemical risks and a maritime pollution event, including disaster medicine. It will be based on first responders’ feedback after the massive explosion at the French Lubrizol plant in Rouen, in September 2019. An adapted scenario will be implemented in the industrial risk basin of Fos-sur-Mer, near Marseille (South of France), which shelters over 20 SEVESO sites. The FSX will act out every aspect of this kind of intervention. Operators will be trained in using Crimson, and access will be granted in every ministry and at the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) to share real-time situational awareness.

The FSX will be conducted with the Bouches-du-Rhône Fire and Rescue Department Services (SDIS 13), the Marseille Marine Firefighting Battalion (BMPM) and the Zonal Operations Centre (COZ), all equipped with the Crimson Tactic COP solution. Support will be provided by the Entente Valabre, French hub for the prevention of major natural disasters, which has been helping CS GROUP develop and deploy its digital platform for years.

On September 21, Toulouse commemorated the 20th anniversary of the AZF factory explosion, which caused 30 deaths and injured thousands. This industrial disaster, the largest in France since 1945, had a profound impact on the city, its inhabitants, and the first responders who intervened on site. Twenty years later, major innovations resulting from European research projects have revolutionized the response operations for this type of disaster and offered rescue teams a new arsenal of tools to aide operational decision making and response in an informed, coordinated, safe and efficient way.

 

In the context of modernizing the army's training centers, the CERBERE program aims to enable units to train and be evaluated in conditions very close to reality (combat frictions, weapon effects). This program replicates all combat capabilities offered by SCORPION and new armaments, up to the scale of a GTIA (combined arms tactical group) including three SGTIA (subgroupings combined arms).

CERBERE equips the CENTAC (Mailly-le-Camp Combat Training Center - open area) and the CENZUB, the Urban Zone Action Training Center located in a mock city equivalent to 300 buildings, capable of hosting 5,000 inhabitants and fully instrumented.

The deployed system allows for the training of 1,000 infantry soldiers with their equipment and vehicles (250+), and the control of SGTIA-level units in conditions close to reality, especially for SCORPION units. CERBERE enables

• The creation, management, real-time monitoring, and high-value debriefing (video, etc.) of exercices,
• the instrumentation of the terrain (sensors in all rooms, etc.) and participants to track each individual/vehicle (position, health status, etc.),
• the incorporation of new weapons (IED, grenades, etc.), and the enhancement of information.

In this project, CS Group provided Thales with the Operational Center of the solution, along with instructor tablets for the field, allowing for the supervision, exercice control and direction (ExCon), and debriefing of exercises. Based on Crimson technology and the digital twin concept of the terrain, this system offers unique capabilities for scenario creation and exercise animation, integrating sensor data in real-time into a 2D or 3D visualization of the operational theater, both indoors and outdoors, while enabling control of all effectors. The sensors cover the entire localization systems of infantry, their vehicles, weapons, as well as several hundred cameras. The effectors include around 1,000 loudspeakers and 700 smoke generators for sound and visual effects, both inside and outside urban infrastructures.

We are pleased to announce the successful deployment of Crimson in French Departmental Fire and Rescue Services (SDIS) and to welcome today the SDIS from Lozère, Vaucluse, Marne, Hérault, and Val d’Oise, as well as the overseas collectivity of Saint-Barthélemy. What is more, Crimson Tactic has been implemented since last summer at the Southeast operational crisis management centre (CEZOC) to monitor major operations and the zonal use of national means.

Within the Armed Forces Staff (EMA), the Centre for the Planning and Conduct of Operations (CPCO) is at the heart of the crisis management process, both upstream (strategic intelligence, planning) and downstream (conduct of operations). At the core of the French operational chain of command at the heart of the Balard hexagon in Paris, it brings together the capabilities for planning and conducting operations at the strategic level.

The #SDIS 29 civil security unit has been working with VALABRE and DIGINEXT for 2 years on the implementation of a Crimson-based crisis management solution in partnership with Quimperlé Communauté.

The CRIMSON platform is a real-time operational management tool used by Finisterian firefighters in emergency situations. In the context of the #COVID19 pandemic, it facilitates coordination of operations and inter-service information sharing.

Crimson has been selected as the platform to build the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of the future Integrated System for the Protection of Sites (SIPS) that will be in charge of the protection and defense of French military sites. Crimson will thus enable to offer next generation capabilities for the sharing of a common operational picture between several command posts as well as the management of events thanks to the correlation of incidents and the coordination of actions.

We are very happy to announce that Crimson has been approved for the protection and security management of Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Crimson is a next generation hypervision and operation management platform that will enable the surveillance, protection and operational condition maintenance of sites and their equipment.

Yet, another success for CRIMSON, award winner of the ProDef challenge organised by the French Defence Innovation Agency.

Very proud that our Crimson product for 2D/3D/4D hypervision, protection and defence of sensitive sites, has been awarded with our friends Mentor Consultant, @ETELM2, Halys, @4GTECHNOLOGYEU... Very big thanks to the @Agence_ID and @Defense_gouv for this award!

Last February, a partnership agreement was signed between the Valabre Agreement, Pole New Technologies and Risk Management (PONT) and SDIS 29. The objective of the agreement is to define a framework for close collaboration between the signatory parties for the use and development of a new crisis management support software (CRIMSON), within the project named ANANKE. The ANANKE project was born from the primordial need to control the management of a crisis and ensure the maintenance of security to be effective through the use of decision support tools. Very sensitive to the risks encountered on its territory, and in particular the flood risk, Quimperlé assumed the role of pilot city to test and develop the software resulting from the ANANKE project, thus contributing to its optimization. Today, software development is carried out by the company DIGINEXT. The CRIMSON software is a real tool to help piloting and to share the crisis situation, it is designed to be used within the Advanced Command Posts (ACP) of the fire brigades or the Communal Command Posts (CCP).

It must allow:

• Sharing information related to the crisis situation,
• Real-time visualization of field feedback information
• Information and interaction of actors and managers via mobile interface
• The coordination of human and material means,
• The management of accommodation capacities and private resources,
• Optimized information processing,
• The processing of graphic and statistical tools,
• Le feedback d'expérience.

The solution is designed to eventually integrate:

• Monitoring social networks,
• Population alert management,
• Integration of multiple information sources (drone flux, surveillance camera flux...)

Following the example of Quimperlé, it is desirable that the communes presenting risks on their territory can acquire such a crisis management tool.

In June 2018 a main regional romanian water supplier will roll-out CRIMSON for their critical infrastructure protection, including their water distribution network and treatment plant.
