# What Is the C-THRU Platform?
## Explains the ecosystem: Navigator, Command Console, Ops Center, their relationship and purpose.
### **Overview**
C-THRU is a connected ecosystem designed to enhance firefighter safety, awareness, and communication in low-visibility environments.
It combines **augmented reality (AR), thermal imaging, and real-time data** to give firefighters and command staff a clearer picture of interior conditions during operations.
### **The Ecosystem**
| **Component** | **Description** | **Role** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Navigator** | A helmet-mounted vision and navigation module that integrates with the user’s PPE. | Enhances visibility, navigation, and communication inside the structure. |
| **Command Console** | A tablet-based command interface used by Incident Command or company officers. | Monitors live feeds, tracks crews, and sends or receives critical messages (PAR, EVAC, Mayday, F2F). |
| **Operations Center** | A desktop-based platform for post-incident analysis, device management, and training review. | Supports playback, after-action review (AAR), and administrative management of users, devices, and apparatus. |
### **Key Capabilities**
- **Augmented vision** in zero-visibility conditions using edge detection and thermal overlays.
- **Two-way communication** between interior crews and command.
- **Incident playback** for training and review through the Operations Center.
- **Data logging** for training, evaluation, and continuous improvement.
### **Intended Use**
C-THRU is a **supplemental safety tool**. It does not replace established fireground tactics, PPE compliance, or situational awareness practices.
