Overview

MAGE provides real-time situational awareness of team members’ observations and locations. While 

operating in a low bandwidth or disconnected environment, team members can continue to collect data 

offline which MAGE automatically shares with the team when a data connection is available.

What can teams do with MAGE?

MAGE’s mobile data collection and sharing capabilities are ideal for disaster response, urban search 

and rescue, monitoring illicit trafficking, humanitarian assistance, training exercise support, scientific 

observation, and any other location-oriented mission or task. Teams can use the MAGE mobile app to 

collect geo-tagged observation data in custom forms with attached media such as photos, audio, and 

video. When a team member creates an observation, MAGE instantly shares the observation to the rest of 

the team. With location sharing enabled, MAGE also continuously updates and shares all team members’ 

locations. At any time during an event, an event manager can export observation and location data in a 

variety of formats for analysis with other tools.
