The Royal Navy Winter Sports Association (RNWSA) holds the Alpine Championships each year, inviting personnel from across the service to participate in winter sports, ranging from novices to expert levels. Since 2020, they have partnered with Halo Solutions and use The Halo System as the incident-management platform for the Championships to improve safety, sharpen coordination, and modernise how incidents are managed in a complex, remote environment.

Running an event in the mountains with 800 participants poses logistical, safety, and communication challenges:

• Multiple teams (ski instructors, medical, hill rescue, event organisers) needed to stay coordinated

• Remote terrain made accurate location reporting difficult

• Dependence on phone calls, WhatsApp groups, and spreadsheets created delays and errors

• Legacy systems lacked auditability, clarity, and speed — particularly for medical emergencies

Halo was introduced as a single, unified incident-management platform. It connected all stakeholders into one system, replacing fragmented communication channels with real-time, structured reporting. Key features included:

• Incident triaging: enabling response teams to prioritise based on severity

• Geo-fencing and location tracking for remote incident accuracy

• Custom reporting forms to speed up submissions of common issues

• A centralised platform eliminating the need for multiple messaging apps and manual spreadsheets

This ensured medical, organisational, and safety teams had shared visibility and could respond quickly and efficiently.
