Intelligent Decision Support System for Biological and Chemical Threats (PIS)

The system of intellectual support for decision-making on combating biological and chemical threats (PIS) is designed to combat epidemics, chemical attacks, bioterrorism, man-made disasters and the consequences of various emergencies.

On February 17, 2016, the United Instrument-Making Corporation (UIC) announced the creation of the Intellectual Decision Support System for Combating Biological and Chemical Threats (SIP)^[1].

Through the PIS, daily operational monitoring of the sanitary and epidemiological situation, the state of life support systems - water supply, nutrition, the state of the environment and other factors influencing the human habitat is carried out. The system helps identify threats of mass destruction by dangerous chemicals and poisonous substances, the spread of infectious and parasitic diseases.

In the case of epidemics or emergencies, the faster the response time, the more likely it is to minimize negative consequences. Our development allows you to quickly identify a threat, evaluate it and significantly reduce the time required for decision-making by the relevant structures. In high-alert and emergency situations, the time to solve the problem using the PIS does not exceed 10 minutes.

The system helps speed up the preliminary clinical diagnosis of sick or injured people, increasing its reliability by 90%. To this end, a software symptom complex is built into the PIS, containing the signs of 76 infectious and parasitic diseases, the actions of 95 toxic and dangerous chemicals. After entering the list of symptoms received during the patient's examination, the list of the most likely diagnoses is automatically calculated. The PIS assesses further scenarios for the development of the situation, determines the possible number of sanitary losses, and also forms recommendations for the implementation of preventive measures.

The peculiarity of the system is the built-in remote access mode, designed, among other things, for specialists sent to emergency zones and foci of diseases. With its help the subscribers using the mobile automated jobs have a possibility of remote exchange of information with the data-processing center (DPC). Specialists can receive the necessary information and methodological, analytical and reference materials at any time of the day. The system serves up to 200 automated workstations at a time.

As part of the defense industry, the development and implementation of the system is carried out by the Moscow Research Institute of Communication and Control Systems (NIISSU) together with the company InformSvyaz.
