Pierce Mobile Command Post

Pierce Manufacturing

Created by a partnership between Pierce and LDV, this self-contained command and communications vehicle is the most technologically advanced disaster-response unit ever created. The vehicle's gadgetry would make a 911 operator drool. Its radio-and-telephone-interface unit features cellular, landline and satellite phone compatibility to allow emergency personnel to communicate regardless of where the command post is sent or what shape the local infrastructure
is in. The $675,000 vehicle includes an air-filtration system (for bioterror or other contaminant-based situations) that can create positive pressure inside the unit to flush out airborne particles, as well as a weather station, video imaging on
plasma screens, and a mast-mounted night-vision camera.
