Critical Response Group Enhances Incident Management with GXP OnScene Acquisition

Critical Response Group Acquires GXP OnScene®

On June 30, 2026, Critical Response Group (CRG), a leader in critical incident mapping data, has made a significant leap by acquiring the GXP OnScene® mobile application from BAE Systems. This acquisition marks a pivotal moment for CRG and the public safety sector as it transitions the widely utilized platform into CRG OnScene™. This new platform will not only be rebranded but will also come under CRG's full ownership, development, and support.

For the last five years, CRG served as the exclusive partner responsible for sales, implementation, and support of GXP OnScene, contributing to its growth to tens of thousands of users across the United States. This acquisition formalizes CRG’s integral role in the platform's evolution and will facilitate further enhancements. With CRG taking charge, the company plans to expedite development and continue to provide what it believes is the premier mobile application for situational awareness in field operations.

Empowering Responders with Real-Time Awareness

CRG OnScene is designed for various responders, incident commanders, security personnel, and operational teams to manage real-time situational awareness through a secure mobile interface. With this application, users can access critical location intelligence, orchestrate resources, maintain their operational visibility, and make informed decisions during emergencies, planned events, and daily operations. Moreover, when integrated with CRG's Collaborative Response Graphics, users have immediate access to standardized, responder-focused mapping information that enhances communication and coordination when time is of the essence.

Mike Rodgers, CEO of Critical Response Group, expressed that this acquisition represents a natural progression of the GXP OnScene platform, which has become essential in the field for responders. His team's hands-on experience working directly with customers to deploy and improve the platform positions CRG to be more responsive to user needs, thereby driving innovation swiftly and effectively.

Rodgers emphasized that the goal of this acquisition aligns with CRG’s broader mission, which is to create a consolidated operational picture across public safety and emergency management sectors. As more organizations look for improved ways to share information and coordinate during critical incidents, CRG posits that combining reliable mapping data with immediate operational awareness is key to enhancing outcomes.

“CRG OnScene is essential to our vision,” Rodgers continued. “To have a common operating picture, we need accurate location intelligence and readily accessible information delivered in real-time to decision-makers.” This acquisition not only reinforces CRG's current capabilities but also sets the stage for integrating various technologies to improve interoperability and provide a holistic experience for users.

Transition to CRG OnScene

Current users of GXP OnScene need not worry about service interruptions. The transition to CRG OnScene will ensure a seamless experience, as existing users will continue accessing the trusted platform and resources they are accustomed to. Enhanced development resources, improved customer support, and a strategic innovation roadmap will follow immediately after the acquisition.

This integration represents a significant commitment by Critical Response Group to ensure that responders, organizations, and technology partners have the necessary tools to foster a shared understanding of incidents, improve coordination efforts, and enhance operational decision-making capabilities.
