Communicating warfighter activity has always been a cumbersome process. Tactical leadership often rely on static and incomplete radio transmissions, most likely offered by a ground force simultaneously mobilizing a response to the threat. As a result, mission essential reporting and data sharing may not occur in a time sensitive or effective manner, directly impacting critical decision making.

The U.S. military’s ability to reliably monitor and respond to ground-level incidents in real-time, especially in asymmetric or mega city environments, is a challenge that must be addressed.

The ARC-Response is an autonomous battle coordination system designed for small arms (e.g., handguns, rifles, etc The system consists of a sensor suite embedded in existing weapon grips and weighs 1.6 ounces.

The sensors passively monitor, timestamp, and geolocate all weapons usage and discharges and activate automatically once a critical situation has been identified. The ARC-Response can be used in all weather and currently has an internal rechargeable battery that can support 96-hours of continuous use.

LETS/MACS-B Unmanned System Technology

The LETS/MACS-B Unmanned System Technology consists of heterogeneous unmanned platforms able to autonomously operate together, performing high-level mission tasks, such as autonomous 3D mapping, in a dynamic denied-GPS environment with minimal operator involvement. This technology can also be remotely controlled by an operator to compliment the human element during the complex missions. This system will provide innovative capabilities during the Force-on-Force phase like target acquisition, reconnaissance and 3D mapping, which can be utilized for advanced fires planning including 3D range cards.

This technology will be utilized in conjunction with our LETS/MACS-B mobile and ATAK OCU. The robotics operator control unit will create, process, store, and distribute 2D and 3D mapping data for mounted/dismounted operations. For example, the UGV and UAV system can be deployed to do reconnaissance and 3D data collection of an objective area prior to the deployment of soldiers. Once the system returns, data can be shared in order to create their 3D range cards. This technology aligns with the Next Generation Combat Vehicle and Future Vertical Lift Army’s modernization priorities.

Currently there is no standardized command shelter platform across the Army which is tailored towards the rapid emplacement and displacement times as envisioned by the Chief of Staff of the Army and TRADOC. Current shelter, lighting, and communication network technologies used in the field do not take advantage of rapidly evolving technologies which offer tremendous opportunities for operational advancement. The challenge of drastically reducing the set-up and strike times of the tactical Command Post must be met by reducing the weight of equipment while coupling advanced support technologies and breakthrough operational concepts.

Panasonic Solider EUD with ATAK and THALES Comms

The current soldier end user device lacks the ruggedness needed for combat operations around the globe.

Soldiers rely on the current Nett Warrior/EUD to provide situational awareness, but the device isn’t designed to withstand the harsh conditions of combat operations. Being the industry leader in rugged end user devices and having a relationship with THALES to provide comms, we feel we have a very compelling solution to put in the hands of soldiers at AEWE.

The Panasonic FZ-N1 rugged Android handheld provides the soldier with an end user device needed for the harsh battlefield environment without the need of a protective case. Capable of running Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) and other tactical applications.

We recently displayed the capability of N1’s running ATAK and communicating with radios and SATCOM connectivity at Bold Quest in Finland in support of Joint Staff. We would like to demonstrate the same at AEWE.

Advancements in robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) allow for persistent surveillance and reconnaissance over wide areas, often going where manned systems cannot, thereby increasing standoff distances, survivability and reaction time for commanders. Currently, Warfighters lack sufficient multi-purpose UGVs that can operate in sub-terrain, congested urban settlements, and offer CBRN or EOD capabilities. The Guardian-S robot is designed to provide standoff observation, increased situational awareness and other real-time visual, audio, and data intelligence from safe distances.

The Guardian S robot is a man-portable, remote operated sensor platform, ideally suited for ISR, CBRN detection, EOD, and other data gathering missions. Can operate in sub-terrain, confined spaces, unstructured environments, and climb ferrous surfaces. In the event of a rollover, the robot can right itself. Can carry up to 10 lbs. of sensor or other payload requirements. Can be launched and recovered safely from vehicles, including other UAV and UGVs. Can operate for up to 3 hrs. at up to 1,000 ft line of sight.

.

In tactical situations it can be very difficult for soldiers to maintain an accurate sense of what direction various key features lie in and it is often not advisable to be looking down into a display, especially at night. The SRCC alleviates this problem. The system allows a dismounted commander to share simple and pragmatic information with their team, both riflemen and other commanders with regards to bearing/direction of “targets”. Directional cues for these are then displayed in the user’s peripheral vision on the inner brim of the helmet. [As seen on UK AWE18].

The SRCC is a Simple Helmet Mounted Display (SHMD) that fits within the forward brim of the helmet. For demonstration/user assessment purposes the basic (Rifleman) SRCC systems provided comprise: a Radio (SDR – Software Defined Radio), a system hub, battery, optional push-button control and a helmet fitted with the SHMD. Each system is also provided with a Comd upgrade comprising EUD (display/control device e.g. smartphone) and SA (Situational Awareness) App which controls the SHMDs within the squad.

all components

Infantry platoons lack the ability to operate multiple forms of communications (e.g. NATO other types) through standard issue headsets, are often confused by the battlespace environment and are unaware of their own situational awareness when using standard issue headsets. Soldiers are exposed to dangerous levels of sound, traditionally without an adequate level of hearing protection. Armoured platforms traditionally do not have an emergency form of communications should the platform suffer catastrophic power failure. This will leave the platform in a potentially unsafe state should it be moving.

Designed to fit under in-service military helmets (CVC not required for Armoured use), the ViTac® offers a significant increase to current capability namely;• Advanced Active Noise Reduction and enhanced

passive technology with (up to) 38dB SNR.• 360° 3D surround for increased situational

Soldiers are regularly overburdened by the energetic and musculoskeletal demands of many of the physical aspects of their normal responsibilities. These include energetic burdens associated with long marches or the physical demands of carrying heavy loads. Within a mission these burdens lead to fatigue that impacts the soldiers physical and mental effectiveness. The development of a system that could increase the physical capacity or reduce the physiological and mental fatigue imposed on the soldier has the potential to increase mission effectiveness and survivability.

We are developing a novel pneumatic exoskeleton to assist the soldiers knee and ankle which augment their capability by reducing fatigue or augmenting peak sustainable capacity. The major components as described below can be kit as required by the mission.Knee - Benefits the soldier when carrying loads or changing elevation. Tests show increased endurance and safety during operationally relevant activitiesAnkle - Benefits the soldier on flat ground.

Infantry platoons are exposed to hostile fire during routine operations. ISR will not always be available to provide SA in a denied environment. WINGDS provides immediate SA for a small/expeditionary unit by instantly giving direction and distance to threats. Warfighters can collect information on the threat location/POO without needing to “see” the threat. WINGDS provides on-the-move capability for Hasty Defense, Hasty Attack, counter-sniper, security, and early warning against threats. WINGDS system could be used with other reconnaissance assets, such as the Soldier Borne Sensor, to confirm targets and to provide Positive Identification (PID) prior to engagement.

The body-worn EARS® Individual Gunshot Detector System (IGDS) is a mature and fielded standalone system for detecting and locating hostile incoming small arms fire. WINGDS combines multiple IGDS with wireless mesh radio links and a single tablet controller to create a mobile network of “Soldiers as Sensors.” WINGDS provides a protection bubble for a dismounted squad that can cover a point asset, perimeter, or large area, either stationary or on the move. When the squad is stationary, the IGDS sensors can be doffed and mounted on any available temporary mount, to provide SA for a fixed area. Four-Sensor Kit Sensor on Soldier

managing and tracking individual, equipment, unit, and concept performance parameters. It enables the user to Plan, Schedule, Resource, Test, Evaluate and Analyze

results improving AARs and resourcing decisions. Exonaut provides enduring value to Commanders,

Capability Developers and Warfighting Units.

Exonaut addresses the challenge for directing staffs to manage large complex training events or experiments by providing a coherent integrated view of the plan and

outcomes. Results are collected faster and more accurately so EXCON can be more dynamic in refining

events and exploiting the results. It identifies trends over time providing greater value to the Army in a

digitized format to allow future iterations of training and experiments to be planned using lessons learned and

looking at positive and negative trends from past iterations thus enhancing the capability to generate

events to better train and develop the force.

Modular Total Exposure Health Sensor Pod System

CRG, Inc.510 Earl Blvd

Miamisburg, OH 45342www.crgrp.com

POC: Brian Henslee, PhDTel: (937) 320-1877 x1210


CRG’s Total Exposure Health Sensor Pod System will likely be worn over existing clothing. It is a stand-alone system not requiring external power until a recharge is necessary. CRG envisions this being attached to an individual’s existing clothing/equipment at a variety of upper body locations using one of several attachment options.

CRG’s Total Exposure Health Sensor Pod System is designed to monitor an individual’s varying air quality exposure through occupational hazards at work and personal choices at home. The sum of these exposures represents an individual’s Total Exposure Health (TEH). A variety of common volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and some air contaminants have been shown to cause varying health effects ranging from headaches to stroke, heart attack, or cancer. This sensor pod system monitors these exposures with a body-worn device that is small, portable, and adaptable, providing customized air quality data based on the environment.

The Army needs a realistic concept for integrating emerging technologies into weapon systems. Technological advancements that could increase soldier/squad lethality require integration of new sensors, the Heads Up Display (HUD/goggles), and the Nett Warrior device. Integration of these capabilities in association with current and Next Generation Squad Weapons will enable new training, operational, and logistics applications. The immediate achievable capability is to share shooter marksmanship performance during live fire and dry fire. Using this data stream, we can demonstrate the ability to support live training, leading toward operation use.

FN WASP enables use of Heads Up Display (HUD)/ goggles for training and operations. FN WASP integrates weapon sensors (weapon orientation, shot counting, downrange imagery, etc.) and enables communication via net warrior to improve training and increase squad lethality. The capability will:Assess and quantify shooter ability to engage targets accurately and consistently. Identify weapon location and orientation. Assist coaching staff and junior leaders responsible for marksmanship and Use of Force training. Support AAR/hot wash.

• Infantry soldiers depend on their institutional knowledge and training to quickly assess potential threats.

• The environments in which infantry soldiers frequently operates often have an abundance of signals to process, some of which may go unnoticed by the soldier.

• Infantry soldiers do not have the benefit of high bandwidth networks available to help process signals and assess potential threats.

• MITCP encapsulates the experience and training of soldiers in cognitive solutions via machine learning models that can execute in disconnected, intermittent and low bandwidth environments.

• These low cost devices are preloaded with the appropriate machine learning modules before the soldier’s unit deploys to the field and are updated whenever they return to the base.

• The devices are constantly being updated based on data recorded in previous missions.
