Polar Research Operations Platform
Plan, prepare, and execute Arctic & Antarctic campaigns – ships, field camps, traverses, and stations in one integrated system.
Built for high-latitudes and hard logistics
MFP streamlines polar operations across seasons and modalities.
Manage icebreaker schedules, field camps, aircraft support, traverse routing, fuel depots, cargo, and risk, while keeping science on track.
Modular tools for polar operations
The MFP platform consists of a wide range of modules that can be used independently or as part of an integrated system. Below are
the key components supporting your polar missions.
Campaign Planning
Design end-to-end campaigns: objectives, timelines, tasks, dependencies, budgets, and risk registers. Generate daily ops plans, sampling manifests, etc.
Maintenance & Configurations
Manage equipment checks, calibrations, and certifications.
Inventory Management
Track status, location, and ownership of gear and consumables with full audit history.
Personnel & Certifications
Roster staff by role and qualification (e.g., pilots, observers, technicians). Track medicals, trainings, and currency; automate reminders before expiries.
Science Portal
Give researchers access to plans, data, and collaboration tools.
Customs Warehouse
Manage storage, logistics, and export documentation across regions.
Project Management
Monitor project roles, deliverables, tasks, and communication in one clear workspace.
Barcode & Tracking
Scan and identify gear quickly to ensure readiness and compliance.
Onboarding & Participant Intake
Collect everything needed from scientists and party members before they head north—securely, in one flow. Travelers complete role-based forms; project leads and logistics review, approve, and generate manifests and checklists automatically.
What we collect (configurable):
Traveler profile: name, role, affiliation, nationality, passport/visa, emergency contacts.
Medical & fitness attestations: cold-injury risks, medications, allergies, mobility notes (handled confidentially).
Training & certifications: cold-weather survival, bear awareness, first aid, radio, helicopter/winch, vehicle, etc.
Gear & baggage: personal gear declarations, issued kit (PPE sizes, parkas/boots), weight/volume.
Equipment & samples: crate lists, barcodes, weights/CoG, hazmat flags (UN numbers), cold-chain needs.
Data & consent
Workflow highlights:
Role-aware forms (scientist, technician, pilot/crew, media, visitor) with conditional questions.
Automatic reminders for missing items (training about to expire, passport validity, hazmat MSDS).
Approvals: medical/privacy review → logistics review → PI sign-off → station/captain acknowledgment.
