Kudan Showcases Advanced 3D Technology for Firefighting Support at Opening of Tokyo Fire Department’s New R&D Center

Kudan Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo; CEO: Daiu Ko; hereafter “Kudan”) participated in the opening ceremony of the Fire Technology Research and Development Center, a new facility established by the Tokyo Fire Department (TFD) on April 1, 2026, to drive innovation through industry-academia-government collaboration.

The center serves as a development hub aimed at addressing the wide range of challenges facing fire administration through the creation of breakthrough technologies and new operational tactics. At the ceremony, Kudan demonstrated a next-generation spatial recognition and scene documentation solution designed to make firefighting safer and more effective. The demonstration featured Kudan’s proprietary photorealistic digital twin platform, Kudan PRISM, together with a handheld scanner from partner company XGRIDS.

During the event, a live proof-of-concept exercise was conducted with Kudan’s support, simulating the harsh conditions of a smoke-filled emergency scene. Firefighters used the handheld scanner to capture spatial data from a room with severely limited visibility, generating an on-the-spot 3D model that provided immediate spatial awareness of the environment. The exercise also demonstrated how feeding that 3D data into Kudan PRISM enables a new form of scene documentation — more intuitive and far more precise than conventional methods that rely on photographs and hand-drawn sketches.

Building on the results of this demonstration, Kudan will continue its ongoing discussions with the Tokyo Fire Department on applications including:

• Real-time spatial awareness at fire and disaster scenes: Rapidly capturing and visualizing spatial information even in conditions of dense smoke or darkness, helping to protect personnel and improve on-scene decision-making.
• 3D digitization of post-incident investigation: Recording fire scene conditions as 3D data on the photorealistic digital twin platform Kudan PRISM, enabling reconstruction and sharing that streamlines post-incident investigation, analysis, and reporting.
• Enhanced disaster preparedness planning and training simulations: Leveraging 3D spatial data to understand facility layouts and identify hazards, develop training scenarios, and share spatial information among stakeholders — strengthening disaster preparedness planning and training on an ongoing basis.

Kudan remains committed to advancing digital transformation in firefighting and disaster prevention through its cutting-edge 3D spatial reconstruction and recognition technologies, contributing to a safer society across the full spectrum — from everyday preparedness and rapid situational awareness during emergencies to post-incident analysis.
