Abstract
This paper presents the situation awareness development method and a tool elaborated for individual soldiers and low level commanders support. Presented results are outcomes taken from the process of mCOP plaftom design and development. The system itself is an innovative proof-of-concept and a testbed software, which utilizes sensors, wireless technologies and augmented reality for supporting ground troops during various combat operations in Network Enabled Capabilities environments [14]. Choosing commercially available mobile platforms is intentional as the system should offer security features while maintaining high availability and accessibility for every soldier. The system is supported by data integration services SOA environment hosting NFFI, TSO and JC3IEDM [14, 15] military and crisis management services. Presented solution offers adjustable and configurable layered architecture for integration services and command support web portal. mCOP solution offers automatic monitoring of individuals (location, movement, biomedical signals), C4ISR [15] system’s data integration and operational picture development. Utilization of mobile technologies ensures portability, accessibility and simplifies wireless communication strategies (multiple channels) providing medium for distributing tactical situation awareness. Choosing Android platform delivers also major advantages connected with transparency of OS code, availability of professional, ruggedized devices. Therefore mCOP platform can be easily distributed and deployed on available commercial smartphones and tablets.
