At Milipol they showed their newest creation, a tactical instrument which offers several functions:
Battlefield Situational Awareness
Collect and analyze data generated by the watch sensors or connected sensors
(GPS, acceleration & pressure sensor, noise)
Generate an automatic report of the current field situation (rest or active time, soldier is moving rapidly, fall, explosion, shootings, combat intensity, etc.)
Geolocation of troops at Soldier level
Target geolocation
Distance to target
Blue forces geolocation
Dead reckoning (GNSS denied environment)
Soldier Health Awareness
Collect & analyse data generated by the watch sensors or connected sensors (heart beat, acceleration & pressure sensors, noise)
Generate an automatic report of the soldier’s health: stress level, estimated need to recover, medical issue
Vital information transmission
Proof of life
Communication & Data
C2 Support: Enables command and control functions
Secure Communication: Provides encrypted data transmission.
Multi-Function: Handles location, status, requests & commands
Jamming resistance & minimal radio signature
Kill Switch
Additionally, this wrist mounted device offers the wearer access to the following data:
Local temperature
Local pressure
Blue and Red tracking
Gas detector
Ionizing radiation detector
Explosives detector
Narcotics detector
Although the screen does not depict a map, the system will integrate vector map backgrounds. Additionally, it uses a spread spectrum protocol to connnect to Soldierborne comms systems.
