Belgium chose COBRA as the single national repository for emergency management information, connecting cities, municipalities, provinces, and federal authorities alongside ports, high-risk companies, hospitals, and organizations of national significance.

The challenge

One platform that scales from a local incident to a national response, works in every language the country operates in, and brings organizations of very different kinds onto the same picture.

What COBRA provided

Multi-language support across French, Dutch, German, and English. National GIS mapping layers, critical and vulnerable facility management, hospital bed status tracking, an emergency management plan repository, exercise planning and after-action reporting, and multi-jurisdictional information sharing.

The same deployment that handles day-to-day municipal incidents became the security foundation for the 2017 Tour de France.

Jordan's National Crisis and Security Center runs COBRA as its primary command and control platform for national crisis response, in a region facing complex and continuous security demands.

The challenge

Coordinate a national response across multiple agencies and security organizations, with secure real-time information sharing and decision support at the highest levels of government.

What COBRA provided

A native Arabic interface alongside other languages, a secure logbook for sensitive communications, real-time status boards, integrated mapping with facility management, event management covering both planned and unplanned incidents, and multi-agency coordination.

A deployment in an environment where reliability, data protection, and operational continuity are not negotiable.

The challenge

Support distributed military installations with emergency management that works consistently across units, while maintaining operational security and meeting Department of Defense requirements.

What COBRA provided

Secure logbook documentation, multi-level event management, status boards for resource tracking, integrated mapping, exercise planning and evaluation, after-action report management, and multi-unit coordination.

Romania

CTEX 2025 multi-agency training exercise

500+Participants
7Exercise days

COBRA supported Romania's CTEX 2025 exercise, coordinating a large-scale scenario across multiple responding organizations.

The challenge

Run a complex multi-agency exercise where every participating organization works from the same picture, and the after-action review is built from what actually happened rather than from recollection.

What COBRA provided

Exercise management, multi-agency coordination, logbook documentation, status tracking, and after-action report generation.

Canadian Pacific Kansas City

Critical rail infrastructure protection

CPKC, one of North America's transcontinental railway systems, uses COBRA to coordinate emergency response across its rail network: a private-sector critical infrastructure deployment.

The challenge

Coordinate response across thousands of miles of rail spanning many jurisdictions and regulatory environments, without interrupting operations.

What COBRA provided

Named events for each incident, logbooks and files that hold the hazmat and regulatory record, multi-jurisdictional coordination, and incident locations across the network on one map.

COBRA for railroads (1:19). From the first call through environmental closeout, one time-stamped record.Full quality (1080p)

Read the transcript

A rail car leaves the track. From that second, every minute is on the record. Hazmat on the ground. Multiple agencies, contractors, and regulators. The questions start immediately, and they don't stop. Who knew what and when? Who made the call? What got done?

The railroads running COBRA already have the answer. Every status change, every decision, every action goes into one immutable log, stamped with who did it, when, and the position they held. Event status shows the posture at a glance. Trackers show where every site and crew stands. The action plan and forms keep the operation moving.

Nothing is lost. Nothing is deniable. The record writes itself while the team works. So when the regulators, the insurers, or the lawyers ask what happened, the answer is one complete, time-stamped account, exported in seconds.

And when you put it all on the map, the site, the product, the exclusion zone, the routes, and every field report live in one picture. From the first call through environmental closeout.

COBRA. One source of truth for every operation.

Hungary

2025 Foot and Mouth Disease response

During Hungary's 2025 Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak, COBRA was in production use to coordinate an agricultural emergency, a scenario well outside the traditional all-hazards list.

The challenge

Bring agricultural authorities, veterinary services, transportation agencies, and government ministries into one response fast enough to contain spread, while keeping documentation good enough for regulatory scrutiny.

What COBRA provided

Geographic outbreak tracking, facility quarantine management, multi-language support, decision documentation, regulatory reporting, and inter-agency communication.
