Plan
Turn objectives, intelligence, geography, risks, resources, and operational priorities into work that can be understood and assigned.
ArcHorizon by Arcadia Command Solutions
ARC / ARCHORIZON
One operational picture. Command post to field.
ArcHorizon is an offline-first incident command assistant being developed first for search and rescue, with broader support for emergency incidents and planned events.
Early developmentThe platform
Built around how search operations actually run.
ArcHorizon brings personnel, teams, assignments, maps, field reporting, operational information, and incident documentation into one connected system without assuming dependable internet access.

Search and rescue first
Command information that reaches the field—and comes back.
ArcHorizon is being designed around the full search operation: building teams, assigning work, maintaining an operational map, following progress, receiving field reports, tracking critical information, and preserving the incident record.
The same foundation can support other incidents and planned events without turning every operation into the same workflow.
The idea behind ArcHorizon
Plan. Coordinate.
Respond. Together.
ArcHorizon is not meant to create another isolated command-post system. It is meant to connect the people developing the plan, coordinating the operation, and carrying out the work in the field.
Coordinate
Keep command staff, partner agencies, support functions, and field teams working from the same operational picture.
Respond
Move assignments and critical information into the field, then return status, observations, and results to command.
Together
The value comes from closing the gap between those four groups—not from giving each of them another separate tool.
Command
Incident organization, personnel, teams, resources, operational status, alerts, and a common command picture.
Assignments
Task development, briefing, team assignment, status tracking, field progress, and operational closeout.
GIS
Search planning, operational layers, assignments, clues, hazards, drawing tools, and map exchange.
Information
Field reports, subjects, clues, leads, weather, safety information, agency coordination, and situation awareness.
Planning
Objectives, strategies, tactics, meetings, resource needs, operational periods, and action-plan development.
Documentation
ICS forms, logs, assignment records, situation reports, and an incident record built from work already being tracked.
Command application
A complete working environment for the command post.
The Windows desktop application is being designed for incident command, section staff, planners, dispatchers, and other personnel who need the complete operational picture and the tools to manage it.
- Incident and organizational management
- Team, task, and resource boards
- Operational GIS and search planning
- Planning-cycle and documentation support
Companion field app
The team’s connection to the incident.
The companion app gives field personnel a focused mobile experience without reproducing the entire command application on a smaller screen.
- Team check-in and assignment details
- Maps and task information
- Status and narrative reporting
- Hazards, messages, and field intelligence
LAN when available.
Cloud when reachable.
Local when neither is possible.
ArcHorizon is being designed so an incident can continue operating when connectivity degrades instead of making the network another single point of failure.
