Impact
I talk for a few years with investors. Among them are business angels, funds,
venture investors, government committees, start up incubators and so on.
When I tell about the SEDA and Future Soldier project I usually receive something
as following: “It’s not innovation, I heard that someone had already developed
this. Don’t’ waste my time”. But actually all those are not experts in military
technologies and Future Soldier conception and their knowledge limited by scraps
from TV-news and rolling titles. Yes, there are numerous projects in FS all over the
world. But there is still no any final product on the military technologies market
that detects soldier’s injury and defines it severity in real time. Taking into
account the fact that the cost of the soldier’s training extremely increasing from
year to year together with the cost of military equipment operating by individual,
investing in this project now will benefit much more than investing in a few years.
Don’t follow the TV-news information. Open your mind for new ideas.
Thank you.
Kirill Evseev, SEDA founder, Ultima Creative CEO.

FUTURE SOLDIER
CONCEPTION &
PROJECTS OVERVIEW
WHAT IS THE REASON OF
FUTURE SOLDIER PROJECTS
GLOBAL INITIATIVE?
The modern conception of the combat suppose each
element on the battlefield as single unit that
characterized by exact order, exact mission and exact
results. Of course, elements might be united to bigger
structures. But inside the structure each unit still has the
defined degree of freedom in the decision making.
Therefore each unit must be equipped good enough to
be able to perform a task and as possible to remain
efficient for the next mission.

FUTURE SOLDIER
CONCEPTION &
PROJECTS OVERVIEW
According to the FS conception the superiority to enemy
ground forces will be achieved by equipping the average
ground-based combat soldier with an integrated set of
high-technology uniforms and equipment. These will be
linked to an array of real-time and archived battlefield
information resources. Soldiers will require not only
enhanced versions of existing equipment, but also new
forms of equipment that will become possible as new
types and combinations of technologies become viable
for battlefield deployment.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
Israel Advanced Soldier /
Advanced Integrated Soldier System
Infantry 2000 & Dominator (Elbit)
IAS and AISS are the titles of the same project. Project is
developing by Israeli Ministry of Defence, DDRD. The general
subcontractor is Elbit. Infantry 2000 & Dominator are the Elbit’s
systems. The best modules and conceptions of Infantry 2000 &
Dominator were migrated to IAS, so, we can consider
all projects as single project of Israeli army.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
The motivation of the IAS was to establish a common language between
combat elements through the command echelons, linking the infantry to the
Digital Army Program (DAP) network known as Zayad. Through IAS,
commanders will be provided with C4I subsystems enabling them to link
their units into the DAP network. While implementation of Zayad among
armor, artillery, combat engineering and other elements required extensions
of wireless data links and protocols to ‘talk’ with existing command and
control elements, the integration with the infantry required fielding an entirely
new command and control system, tailored for the ‘human platform’. This
system is optimizing target-management and weapons employment at
squad, and platoon level, establish mission planning, orientation and
navigation tools and introduce data networking between team members and
tactical leaders at different command level. Such systems enable the units
to rapidly pursue time-critical targets (closure of ‘kill chain’) by small
formations, autonomous allocate and assign targets or flexibly team up with
other units, throughout the command chain.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
The heart of the C4I system used with IAS consists of the Personal
Digital Unit (PDU) – a wearable computer coupled with a hand held
display, a radio (PRC710), eyepiece display and headsets, mobile
WLAN and navigation
system. All elements
are embedded into
a wearable system and
armor vest weighing
less than five
kilograms.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
‘Terminal’ modular computer system
The system uses the new ‘Terminal’ modular computer system. The
system providing high quality graphics, supporting two simultaneous
1920×1200 pixel displays, including a direct interface to the OLED
(VESA). The system consumes only 6.5 watts supplied by two hot
swappable external Lithium Polymer batteries sufficient for
continuous 4-5 hours mission. The system has two LAN network
adapters, five USB ports, a standard RS232 serial port, audio, VOIP
codec and fiber LAN docking interface. The Modular Computer
weighs 0.7 kg (excluding batteries).
Although IAS evaluated an eyepiece as part of the kit, the IDF opted
for another display- a hand held viewer. This piece integrates an
OLED 800×600 mini display, offering a high quality, wide field of
view (34deg.) image.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
The viewer weighs only 300 grams and connects to the PDU through the
USB port. It can be used
effectively by day or night without
compromising the user’s position by light
leakage. Built-into the device is a
line-of-sight sensor, enabling automatic
image or map orientation. Built-in mouse
buttons enable seamless control of the
computer. For planning, debriefing
commanders will use the 8″ handheld
800×600 pixel LCD display applied with
touch screen. The sunlight readable device
is designed for daylight use, using glare
resistant coating. Its average consumption is
4 watts and weight is 600 gram.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
QuietOps
Another element of the IAS is the QuietOps software programmable
headset. The system supports and controls two radio sets, and is
designed with both passive and active noise canceling hearing
protection, offering natural hear-through capability while effectively
protecting from high dB ‘spikes’ and overpressures caused by
nearby gunshots or blasts, which could damage the soldier’s
hearing. A side benefit of the QuietOps system is its ability to
improve hearing up to ‘super normal’ level, and supporting ‘whisper
mode’, both functions could be highly constructive for ambush and
covert ops.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
Communications
The IAS communications gear consists of several systems,
including a tactical router (enhanced military wireless LAN). The
unit, configured as a standard PC card (PCMCIA), carries high
capacity data transfer over short range. The system can also utilize
the ‘Mountain Rose’ military cellular mobile network, which is
dependent on infrastructure. For operations where such
infrastructure is not available, tactical combat net radio, such as the
PRC710 personal VHF radio (weight less than 750 gr) can be used.
Both radios are designed to transfer data at low speed. When
multiple gateways are available, IAS will automatically select the
most appropriate medium according to the system’s service policy.
Furthermore, the entire system will dynamically route each message
to reach its destination at the fastest route.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
A new navigation system is under development at the DDRD,
enabling effective navigation in areas where GPS cannot be relied
upon. The system uses a combination sensors, such as gyro,
compass, accelerometers and other sensors to determine the
location of the unit at an. The system is attached to the soldier’s
gear and will continue to determine accurate location for several
hours after GPS contact is lost. Its accuracy is determined as a
function of the distance traveled without GPS reference. It is
effective throughout the soldier’s combat activities, including
running, walking, crawling or sprinting.
IAS teams will be equipped with indigenously developed systems for
surveillance, reconnaissance and target acquisition, enabling the
team to independently and effectively collect intelligence, acquire
and pursue time critical targets with high efficiency and accuracy, by
its own assets or by employing other ‘networked enabled assets’.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
Spatial Orientation System
Three types of hand-held observation-and target acquisition
systems will be available for IAS commanders at the different
tactical levels. Squad leaders and Platoon Sergeants will use the
Spatial Orientation System. This system has built-in laser
rangefinder and digital compass, a monocular x7 day channel,
which can also be used with a night viewer. The SOS has an
integrated data display and mouse buttons, depicting target range
and bearing, navigational aids and ‘leads’ to designated targets or
locations, as well as a map display.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
Cobra Target Acquisition System
Platoon Leaders will use a new target acquisition device, using an
uncooled thermal imager with an integrated a laser rangefinder,
electronic compass and GPS with an uncooled thermal sight,
effective at ranges beyond 1,000 meters. This device can also be
used as a hand-held computer display, utilizing its built-in full color
super VGA display and mouse buttons. ITL has recently introduced
such a system called Cobra, which can do all that at a weight of less
than one kilogram, much less than the goal set by the IAS program
team (1.6 kg).

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
Coral-CR
Coral-CR device will be used by company and battalion
commanders as well as the officers and observers in recce
platoons. Coral-CR is hand-held, cooled, thermal target acquisition
system using a 480×384 detector operating in the 3-5 micron band.
Using continuous zoom, the system can be used effectively up to
five kilometers. As a target acquisition system, Coral-CR integrates
a digital magnetic compass, GPS and internal display, enabling
effective observation, identification and extraction of target
coordinates in real-time. The system weighs 3.4 kg, including
batteries.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW

Enhanced Vision & Robotics
Other observation devices available for the team include the
‘continuous surveillance system’, an ‘observation arrow’. The arrow
fired from standard M-16s can be fired at a range up to 70 meters,
placing the arrow at vantage point, maintaining line of sight with the
target. The arrow will continue to operate for four hours, sending
video streams picked by its camera, remotely controlled by the
controller via two-way link.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
Another imaging device is the Eyeball, which is thrown into confined
room position by an assault team. IAS will also use a small robot
called EyeDrive, which will be able to move, position itself and scout
confined spaces through remotely controlled operation.

Grenadiers will be equipped with the Viper, a fire control system
enabling first shot hit for grenade launchers, enabling effective fire
and limit collateral damage. The system uses ‘see through’ display
depicting computer controlled aiming point, calculated by the
system’s computer, fed by sensors including laser rangefinder and
tilt and roll sensors. The computer calculates the ballistic curve
required to hit the target and sets the aiming point accordingly.
Furthermore, the system supports advanced programmable MPRS
grenades, by setting time-programmable fuses for time-delay
detonation or airburst effect, in addition to standard point detonation
effect.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
Israel IAS/AISS
The Israeli infantry suite comprised of a helmet and weapon
mounted sensors, weapon mounted fire control system, head and
weapon mounted display and sights, and pouch mounted wearable
computer, fitted with navigation systems, data and synthesized voice
communications. The IAS program focused on the ‘soldier as a
system’ concept, seeking a suite that will enable the future soldier to
navigate, communicate and locate and engage targets, with
superior firepower, lethality and protection. The suite would also
include augmented lethality weapons, such as the IMI Tavor-2, firing
the Refaim anti-personnel air-burst weapon. At present, IAS pursue
a different approach, facilitating effective dismounted command and
control while other aspects of the system are dealt with as part of
regular modernization cycles.

USA MKUltra
MKUltra
Sometimes referred to as the CIA's mind control program—was
the code name given to an illegal program of experiments on human
subjects, designed and undertaken by the United States Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA). Experiments on humans were intended to
identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in
interrogations and torture, in order to weaken the individual to force
confessions through mind control. Organized through the Scientific
Intelligence Division of the CIA, the project coordinated with the
Special Operations Division of the U.S. Army's Chemical Corps. The
program began in the early 1950s, was officially sanctioned in 1953,
was reduced in scope in 1964, further curtailed in 1967 and officially
halted in 1973.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA MKUltra
The program engaged in many illegal activities, including the use of
unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects, which led
to controversy regarding its legitimacy. MKUltra used numerous
methodologies to manipulate people's mental states and alter brain
functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs
(especially LSD) and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory
deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various
forms of torture.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA SIPE
SIPE (Soldier Integrated Protective Ensemble)
The SIPE program was the initial step in developing an integrated
modular clothing and equipment system for combat ground troops of
the United States Army. Actually, SIPE was the first project in Future
Soldier conception in the world. All other countries started their
national FS systems after SIPE’s positive results.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA SIPE
Soldier impressions on and suggestions for the SIPE equipment
were collected. As a technical advisory service to the SIPE ATD,
U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences
(ARI) personnel collected this data. The SIPE, configured as a
head-to-toe individual fighting system, demonstrated considerable
potential for enhanced soldier capabilities and operational
effectiveness. However, the equipment, only prototype in nature,
affected test soldier performance and attitude. The enhanced
communications capability and thermal sight on the rifle, as well as
some items of clothing, were deemed very acceptable; other items
were rejected or insufficiently tested.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA Land Warrior

– Software system
Later features of the Land Warrior system included:
• providing dismounted soldier combat identification for en route situational
awareness and power recharge to reduce 'friendly fire' incidents
• Commander's Digital Assistant leader planning tool
• weight and power reduction
• scalability and tailorability for operational missions

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA Land Warrior
The system is modular and tailored for the soldier's task and
mission. The unit commander decides the components of Land
Warrior that will be deployed for a mission.
The two main Land Warrior configurations are for the soldier and the
squad leader. The soldier LW version includes
a radio with short range inter-squad voice and
data communications. A squad leader's LW
system includes a multi-band inter- and
intra-team SINCGARS compatible radio,
a keyboard and handheld flat panel display.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA Land Warrior
The soldier wears a fighting load vest for carrying and interfacing
with the sensors and the computer. The soldier is able to adjust the
load distribution from shoulders to hips while on the move. The
electronic systems are connected and integrated via the ten-port
hub installed on the body.
The soldier's navigation system comprises a GPS and a pedometer
dead reckoning system that tracks the soldier's position and is used
when the GPS is unavailable, e.g. inside buildings.
The GPS uses five satellites and defines the soldier's position to an
accuracy of 10m.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA Land Warrior
The power system, either disposable or rechargeable batteries
weighing 1.1kg (2.5lb), is installed on the body. The system provides
between eight and 24 operating hours of power for the sensors and
computer. The disposable batteries have longevity of four to 12
hours and the rechargeable batteries eight to ten hours. The US
Army Communications-Electronics Command awarded Vitronics a
contract in 2002 for the integration of power aware technologies into
Land Warrior.
The Land Warrior computer is also installed on the body. The
battlefield software is installed on the computer. The sensor data is
downloaded onto the computer.
A Multi-Band Intra and Inter Team Radio (MBITR), integrated into
the vest allows voice communications between the infantry soldiers.
The LW helmet provides ballistic protection and carries the main
components of the soldier's communications systems.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA Land Warrior
The WLAN antenna is installed in the helmet and connects via the
hub to the MBITR radio carried in the soldier's fighting load vest.
The helmet carries a Head-Mounted Display (HMD), which is
positioned over the soldier's dominant eye and provides command
and control information and situational awareness.
The display shows the video from the daylight video scope or the
infrared thermal weapon scope mounted on the soldier's weapon. It
also shows satellite and topographical maps with friendly positions,
updated every 30 seconds.
The soldier can switch screens using the select button on the stock
of the rifle. The helmet-mounted display is used for zeroing the
daylight video scope, capturing battlefield images and for sending
and receiving data.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA Land Warrior
The Land Warrior control system is carried on the soldier's body.
This enables the soldier to interact with the menus in the helmet-
mounted display. The control unit has a joystick for moving the
cursor, and mouse buttons for menu selection on the helmet-
mounted display. Three programmable buttons can be set to push-
to-talk and for zeroing weapons.
A SIM (subscriber identity module) card reader identifies the soldier
and controls access.
The Land Warrior infantry soldier is armed with an M4 Carbine, .223
caliber, with a 30-round magazine. The M4 Carbine operates in
semi-automatic or three shot burst. The rifle is fitted with a Picatinny
rail for mounting sights and a grenade launcher.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA Land Warrior
The daylight video scope (DVS) has a zoom with magnification 1.5x
to 6x. The LW thermal weapon sight (TWS) operating in the eight to
12 micron band, can be fitted on top of the M4.
A multifunction laser measures the azimuth and range to the target
and designates the target with a red dot.
Programmable control buttons on the weapon for push to talk,
switch screens and take a picture commands, allow the soldier to
carry out procedures without lowering the weapon. A quick
disconnect weapon cable connects the weapon electronics to the
hub.
The laser rangefinder and digital compass gives the soldier the
range and direction of the hostile target. The data, coupled with the
soldier's own location provide the soldier with accurate target
location when he calls for indirect or support fire and for combat
identification.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA Land Warrior
The Land Warrior software suite contains six main software
packages for weapon sights and for data. The mapping software
package controls the display of satellite generated and
topographical maps. The satellite image technology allows maps to
be generated and viewed by the infantry soldier. Friendly positions
on maps are updated every 30 seconds.
The echelon selection control software allows the soldier to control
the amount of data received, for example the positions of team
members, squad or company. The software ensures that the soldier
is not overloaded with data but receives the information needed for
his mission and situation. The send image programme allows the
soldier to capture and send battlefield images.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA Land Warrior
When the Land Warrior soldiers are in the Stryker vehicle, the
Vehicle Integration Kit allows voice, data and power communication
via an umbilical connection.
The Land Warrior soldiers in the Stryker vehicle can then
communicate by voice and data to soldiers inside and outside the
vehicle, to soldiers in other
Stryker vehicles and, through
the Stryker vehicle's Force XXI
battle command brigade and
below (FBCB2) Appliqué, to
the Army battle command
system.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA MERS
Marine Expeditionary Riffle Squad
The MERS is exists as the concept.
The MERS goal is Man, train, organize, provide current doctrine,
lead and equip the Marine Infantry Rifle Squad in an integrated,
holistic and systematic fashion that increases the overall fighting
ability of the entire unit across the spectrum of its missions
The MERS is responsible for the “Squad as a System.” The focus is
on the individual Marine and everything worn, carried, and
consumed by the rifle squad as a capability provider.
Human Systems Integration and ergonomics are applied to the
physical integration of the infantry squad’s equipment.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA MERS
The future operating concept highlights Enhanced / Distributed
Operations capability, enabling the marine unit to control and
dominate a larger area. To support enhanced capabilities the corps
is considering deploying units with flexible logistic systems known as
"platoon in a box", containerized, mission configurable logistics and
supply package that can sustain the unit for long periods, with
minimum additional support.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA TALOS
Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit
TALOS is the name given to a robotic exoskeleton that United
States Special Operations Command intends to design with the help
of universities, laboratories, and the technology industry. The brief
for TALOS states that it must be bulletproof, weaponized, have the
ability to monitor vitals and give the wearer superhuman strength
and perception. The suit would comprise layers of smart material
and sensors. The suit may not be intended for an entire squad, but
for a lead operator who will breach a door first, to protect them as
they are the most vulnerable team operator in that situation.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA TALOS
The TALOS developers presents the concept with following
envisioned features:
– Reduced impact of load by intelligent weight distribution
throughout the body.
– Low power requirement.
– Low suit profile to fit under the existing uniform comfortably.
– Provide sensor cues to soldiers to reduce injuries.
– Integrated components to provide joint support where user
needs it most.
– Reapply energy to enhance the efficiency of motion and improve
overall metabolics.
– Remain compliant and flexible, stiffening only when needed.
– Have the suit weigh less than 400 lb (180 kg) and generate
12 kW of power for 12 hours.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA TALOS
Although the objective of the program is to incorporate new
technologies into a fully powered and integrated suit, components
developed under it could be issued individually to troops in the short
term to enhance their effectiveness. Non-lethal weapons, new armor
materials, more compact communications gear, advanced night
vision, and 3-D audio can be used as individual pieces of equipment
before they are all put together in one powered exoskeleton.
Items developed for TALOS including an increased tactical data
storage capability which allows for ten times the capacity of current
data storage has transitioned to fulfill an immediate operational
requirement, as well as a new armor solution being used for special
operations non-standard commercial vehicles.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA TALOS
Others systems that will be transitioned include a small, individual soldier
SATCOM antenna, an unpowered loadbearing exoskeleton, a powered
cooling vest to sustain body temperature, a next generation antenna that
includes dynamic tuning, the Future Interoperable Radio
Enclosure, a tactical
radio sleeve for cell
phones, lightweight
multi-hit
ceramic-metallic
hybrid armor, and a
biosensor-equipped
combat shirt that can
monitor a soldier’s
physiological status.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA OFW
Objective Force Warrior
This project was developed simultaneously with Land Warrior and
chronologically earlier than Future Force
Warrior. The project was so successful
that too many systems, ideas, conceptions
and solutions were migrated then to
Land Warrior and Future Force Warrior
and became basic for further development
and improvement.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA OFW
According to OFW, the soldiers would never again have to wear
cumbersome night-vision or infrared goggles or heavy laser training
components on their helmets. These and other features, thermal
sensors, day-night video cameras, and chemical and biological
sensors, were designed to be fully integrated within the OFW
helmet. The system also included a visor that could act as a "heads-
up display monitor" equivalent to two 17-inch computer monitors in
front of the soldier's eyes. The uniform system was a multi-function
garment working from the inside out.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA OFW
It incorporated physiological sensors that allow the soldier, the chain
of command and nearby medics to monitor the soldier's blood
pressure, heart rate, internal and external body temperature, and
caloric consumption rate. Commanders and medics would access
the information through a tactical local area network. Heat and cold
injuries have been responsible for a large percentage of casualties
in both battle and training. If a medic can monitor a soldier's vital
signs, many of these types of injuries could potentially be prevented.
If a soldier were to be injured, medics could start making an
assessment before they even got to the injured soldier.
In spite of such subsystem was planned it was never presented.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA OFW
The Objective Force Warrior system was
designed with a built-in "microclimate
conditioning system." Degay explained the
private climate-control system had a "spacer
fabric" that was a little bit thicker than a
regular cotton T-shirt. The garment had
"capillaries" that blow hot or cold air
through the system. The system's many
functions were powered by fuel cells,
which were described as
"cell phone batteries on steroids."

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA OFW
Anything else that's mission-essential, but not built in to the individual
soldier system was expected to be carried on a "robotic mule." The mule
would assist with not only taking some of the load carriage off the individual
soldier, but a host of other functions. Primarily water generation, and water
purification. It would also be a recharging battery station for all the individual
Objective Force Warriors in the squad. It would acts as a weapons platform.
It, as designed, has day and night thermal, infrared and forward-looking
imaging systems inside the nose of the mule, as well as chemical-biological
sensors. The mule could also communicate with unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs) to give the squad members a true 360-degree image of the
battlefield. This capability was not tradiationally available below the battalion
level. The unit is a follower, and it has been intended to be manipulated and
brought forth by any member of the squad. Essentially a mini load-carriage
system that's there for the squad all the time, the unit would allow lightening
of the load for the individual soldier, but keeping that resupply available at a
moment's notice.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA OFW
The Army's vision for the Objective Force Warrior was of a highly
lethal, survivable, networked soldier within a small combat team
operating across a spectrum of future Army and joint service
operations. The soldier would be equipped with self-protection gear,
a range of weapons of varying lethality, and would be completely
integrated into the fire support and C4ISR components of the
Objective Force. The system would provide complete situational
awareness, fully integrating the individual soldier into joint and
combined arms operations. The Objective Force Warrior would use
assets such as robotic cargo transporters, networked sensor fields
and unmanned air vehicles. These capabilities would be compatible
with the Army's Future Combat Systems (FCS) command, control,
computer, communications, intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance (C4ISR) system now in development as well as with
existing and joint service C4ISR assets.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA OFW
Objective Force Warrior will have "full-spectrum capabilities," meaning
troops can use it for any mission from peacekeeping to high-intensity
conflicts, and many new capabilities were to be developed to provide
that flexibility. An envisioned ultra-lightweight, multi-functional protective
combat ensemble and stealth technology would enhance survivability.
An onboard physiological and medical sensor suite would increase
performance and sustainability. Hybrid fuel cell and advanced
rechargeable batteries would supply the soldier's power needs for at
least 72 hours.
Soldier situational understanding would improve by developing a helmet
with integrated sensory enhancements, networking with manned and
unmanned ground and aerial vehicles, and using a rugged squad
communications system. To dominate in combat, the warrior would use
an ultra-lightweight family of weapons with advanced fire control
distributed across the team and optimized for urban combat. The Future
Combat System would aid in synchronizing direct and indirect fire.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA FFW
Future Force Warrior
Future Force Warrior was a United States military advanced
technology demonstration project that was part of the Future
Combat Systems project. The Future Force Warrior concept
envisioned the radical use of technologies such as nanotechnology,
powered exoskeletons, and magnetorheological fluid-based body
armor to provide the infantry with significantly higher force multiplier
than the opposing force. However, the stated concept was not U.S.
Army doctrine, and was not intended to answer every situation that
Army After Next would face; rather, the concept was meant to serve
as an end goal to strive to reach or to compromise with current
technologies and to stir imagination and dialogue on how these
technologies and concepts could help soldiers in the near future.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA FFW
The FFW had a number of broad requirements from the outset,
touching on the most important factors both for future technology
integration, but also important factors in the field such as lethality,
mobility, and survivability. These goals were outlined as follows:
– Lethality: Integrated, advanced, lightweight weapons and fire
control software and hardware; optimized for urban combat, with
synchronized direct and indirect fires from FBCB2/FCS and
rotary winged platforms.
– Survivability: Lightweight, low-bulk, multi-functional, full
spectrum protective combat ensemble. Providing ballistic
protection, novel signature management, electro-textile
power/data body PAN. On-board physiological/medical sensor
suite. Customized voice, visual and auditory human interface

– Sensors & Communications (C4ISR): Netted FFW small unit/teams
with robust team communications using Soldier Radio Waveform/WIN-
T/FCS Network, state-of-the-art distributed and fused sensors, organic
tactical intelligence/collection assets, enhanced situational
understanding, embedded training, on-the-move planning, and linkage
to other Current Network and Future Force assets.
– Power: 24-hour autonomous individual operation and 72-hour
continuous autonomous team operations, high density, low
weight/volume, reliable, safe power source/system tailored
hardware/software package to optimize power availability.
– Mobility, Sustainability and Human Performance: System/Ensemble
designed for training and combat, allowing unconstrained movement at
full up combat/assault capability during mission execution. "On the move
hydration" and hydration status monitoring. Optimized cognitive and
physical fightability, on-board physiological/medical sensor suite.

cordless communication between aircrew members. The system
has a full duplex voice-activated mode, hands-free mode, and a
push-to-talk mode. It features fifty independent channels (aircraft
networks) with up to six crew members on each aircraft network.
AWIS enables simultaneous omnidirectional communications
among all users in the aircraft network within 200 feet of the center
of the aircraft and provides the first true intercom capability between
the entire aircraft crew, hoist operators, and rescue personnel on the
hoist.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA FFW MS/GW
Mounted Soldier / Ground Warrior
The Mounted Soldier System (MSS) is a
combat vehicle crewman ensemble
integrating advanced gear as an effective
force multiplier in combat theater.
At the moment MS/GW is developing
under the PEO Soldier conception
(would be described below) but basically
it was the part of
LW / Mounted Warrior,
then migrated to FFW.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA FFW MS/GW
The MSS consists of a heads-up display, cordless communications,
micro-climatic cooling, and force protection items. These
subsystems will provide platform
commanders and vehicle crew members
increased effectiveness on
the network-centric battlefield in areas
of command and control, situational
awareness, communications, and
force protection.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA FFW MS/GW
Helmet-Mounted Display
This system shows vehicle situational awareness information and sensors,
and can also control video signals from various sources. The integration
supports up to four crewmen per platform and up to three SMPTE and two
SVGA signals.
Cordless Communications
The Cordless Communications Capabilities provide the platform’s crew with
a wireless connection capability to the vehicle’s intercom and radios. It
allows the crew to communicate by voice over the platform’s intercom
system when mounted or dismounted within 300 meters of their platform.
The system automatically detects when a crewman becomes disconnected
from the intercom system and allows the disconnected crewman to continue
to have voice communication with the crew and access to the platform’s
tactical net radios.

Crewman Coverall, flame-resistant moisture wicking
undergarments, ballistic and laser eye protection, and flame-
resistant hand, face, and foot protection. Soldier effectiveness is
improved through enhanced systems engineering and integration of
capabilities. facial protection and improvements to body armor are
also being pursued.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA ACR/OICW
Advanced Combat Riffle /
Objective Individual Combat Weapon
The Advanced Combat Rifle (ACR) was a United States Army
program to find a replacement for the M16 assault rifle. Under the
stress of battle the average soldier with an M16 could guarantee
hitting a target at 45 meters, but hit probability was reduced to one
out of ten shots on target by 220 meters. Because of this, The ACR
program was initiated in the late 1980s to create a weapon that
could double the hit probability. The ACR program was preceded by
older programs such as the Special Purpose Individual
Weapon.

PROJECTS OVERVIEW
USA ACR/OICW
The Objective Individual Combat Weapon or OICW was the next-
generation service rifle competition that was under development as
part of the United States Army OICW program; the program was
eventually discontinued without bringing the weapon out of the
prototype phase. The acronym OICW is often used to refer to the
entire weapons program.

WPSM
Warfighter Physiological Status Monitor
Subsystem (WPSM)
WPSM is the part of Future Force Warrior supervising by PEO and
NATO R&T Organization. WPSM is the only competitor of the SEDA
project on the global FS military market. Let us overview it in details.
Both SEDA and WPSM are on the research stage at the moment.

WPSM
The WPSM supposes that dismounted warfighters can benefit from the
medical status and geo-location information that mobile networked sensor
systems can provide. Over the course of a typical mission cycle – consisting
of training, deployment, mission review, and recovery phases – physiological
and geo-location information could be used to:
- Assess baseline physiological characteristics (e.g., aerobic fitness, sleep
history);
- Support mission planning (e.g., predict thermal/work strain and water and
food logistical requirements);
- Provide mission support (e.g., improve “who, where, when” situational
awareness, guide acute and chronic work/rest cycles, and reduce the
likelihood of environmentally related injuries such as heat stroke);
- Facilitate casualty evacuation;
- Improve the quality of after action reviews.

WPSM
The family of physiological status monitoring technologies extends
from personal sensors that record and display heart rate, ventilation,
skin temperature, and body position, distance traveled and
sophisticated research devices that store physiological data for
post hoc analysis, to networked systems capable of real-time
collection of digital medical information.
The WPSM approach considers that, physiological status monitoring
– is the collection, interpretation, dissemination and use of
physiological information.
Thereby, WPSM is trying to unite all existent devices and
methodologies in one sensors network.

WPSM
WPSM ongoing research consider the following physiological parameters as
the key data to monitor by the medical sensors:
- The sensor of the thermal status assessment. This sensor might
involve monitoring of the heart rate, skin temperature and core
temperature in the hot conditions and core temperature and peripheral
temperature in cold conditions.
- The dehydration sensor for monitoring the fluid intake, urinary output
and tissue hydration.
- The body position sensor.
- The motion sensor.
- The heart rate sensor, ECG.
- The respiration sensor.
- The blood oxygen saturation sensor.
- The psycho-sensor to monitor the psychological state, EEG & EP.

WPSM
There are following devices already developed or prototyped that
might be included in future WPSM subsystem:
- Thermal Monitoring
- Core temperature sensors
- Radio pills
- Skin temperature sensors
- Heat sensors
- Hydration monitoring (Human Limits Prediction System)
- Blood oxygen level monitoring
- sleep (Polysonmography and Actigraphy devices)
- Heart Rate & Pulse Pressure monitoring devices / ECG, BRC
- Vital Sign Detection System
- Ballistic Impact Detection System
- BioSuper Visor System

WPSM
WPSM Summary.
Three already tested subsystems may be used in future WPSM
system. There are Vital Sign Detection System, Ballistic Impact
Detection System and BioSuperVisor System. All three systems are
still improving at the moment. The WPSM research group had
developed straight vision of future WPSN system by collecting all
critical human parameters with description of their influence on
soldier’s medical psycho-physiological status. The further
implementation of researched parameters into hi-tech measurement
mobile system is expected.

SEDA PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
• The proposed system of the innovative Hi-Tech military equipment (SEDA) is
designed to solve a global problem of soldiers’ medical condition monitoring in the
real time on the battlefield during the combat with the goal to save lives and
minimize human losses. The system meets Future Soldier conception
requirements and may be integrated with existent projects.
• Three innovative technologies are jointly used in SEDA system: Hi-Tech uniform
with integrated sets of sensors, undetectable and non-eliminated communication
system between units, artificial intelligence principles of uniform self-learning. All
technologies are based on scientific background and proved by numerous
researches.

SEDA PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
• SEDA project is to develop software and hardware and deploy serial production to
produce the innovative Future Soldier uniform and equipment to monitor the
soldier’s medical condition in the combat in real time and remotely transfer the
data with the goal to save his life in case of injury.
• There are approximately 50 Future Soldier programs in the world at the time
available, nevertheless, concentrating on the attack and defense features the
medical functionality of these projects has not yet reached the necessary level.
• SEDA is an equipment that extremely increases the medical features by collecting
medical and environmental data and making mathematical analysis to provide
information about the injury, environment and location.

SEDA CONCEPT
Artificial Intelligence

STRATEGIC
GOAL
Historically, success in the military equipment technology marketplace was driven
mainly by product innovation.
The strategy for this project is to create a step-change in medical monitoring of the
soldier by delivering on an aspirational goal of achieving mobile and real time online
monitoring of human medical parameters and environment changes on the
battlefield and provide the Future Soldier market with the new product with
ergonomic design protected from external aggressive factors easy allows a
commanders to examine health parameters of the soldiers and change tactics in real
time if necessary. The SEDA is compatible and will be integrated with most Future
Soldier systems.
This project will help to create and strengthen current strategies on developing
cost-effective solutions tailored on the changing need of their customers.

CURRENT STAGE
OF THE PROJECT
• Few prototypes to test some parts of the future system
• Innovative medical pneumatic bandage subsystem was developed and patented.
• Mathematical model developed and proved by the scientists
• Several parts of software and hardware developed
• Technical specification of the SEDA prototype developed
The launch of a ready prototype is expected to be operational by Q2 2017 and
could potentially revolutionize the Future Soldier market being first real time
mobile system compatible with third-party products for remote monitoring of
health parameters of the soldiers.
These objectives will be supported by investment of the project promoter of up to
25% and will be directed to creation of technical solution, software and hardware.

SOLUTION
The main goal of the SEDA Decision Making Subsystem is the
medical diagnosis of an injured soldier with a high degree of
probability in the conditions of following limitations:
- critical time deficit
- relatively small number of factors influencing on the diagnosis
- relatively small number of probable actions after the diagnosis
- limited computing capabilities

SOLUTION
Taking into account the listed limitations our SOLUTION is to develop the
native SEDA Decision Making Model (DMM). The DMM will input sensors
result data in 4 parallel and independent DMMs with own mathematical
apparatus:
- Artificial Neural Network (ANN)
- Naive Bayesian Classifier (NBC)
- Support Vector Machine (SVM)
- Fuzzy Logic (FL)
The SEDA DMM will use native algorithm to analyze the results received
from 4 parallel and independent DMMs to provide rescue team with most
probable medical diagnosis and recommendations based on a soldier’s
personal health card.

SYSTEM
USAGE
The Medical Doctor as User will use his own TCM to manage each
case by following information about each soldier:
- Results of the Medical Triage
- Diagnosis
- Critical Deadline Timer
- Medical Parameters (AP, pulse, respiration rate, loss of blood, etc.)
- Digital Patient Health Card
- Medical Recommendations
- Situational Awareness Data (soldier’s location, possible evacuation
ways, etc.)

SYSTEM
USAGE
The Commander as User will use his own TCM to manage each
case by following information about each soldier:
- Soldier Identifier
- Brief Diagnosis & Fighting Capacity
- Status of the fighter
- Situational Awareness Data (soldier’s location, possible evacuation
ways, etc.)
- Soldier’s Objective and Analysis of Current Operation excluding
this soldier in case of death
- Possible solutions and Level of Criticality.

SEDA & WPSM
MATCHING
Let us describe differences in details
1. Environment Sensors layer
SEDA WPSM
In general, the WPSM architecture solution is following:

SEDA & WPSM
MATCHING
The solution described above concentrates on the medical sensors. It
means that the sensors provide information about changes in soldier’s
medical condition after the injury case was happen. Actually, the injury
lead to changes in the medical condition. But there is no any processing
between the injury case itself and medical data changes. SEDA starts
processing as soon as injury case happen and before the medical
condition of the soldier changes by additional Environment Sensors layer
that detects the injury physical impact, define the type of injury and
localize it on the military uniform. This additional data used to identify
medical condition with better accuracy in the SEDA system.

SEDA & WPSM
MATCHING
2. Grid Sensor layer
SEDA WPSM
The Grid Sensor layer is the most important sensor of the Environment
Sensor layer that localize the injury impact on the military uniform.
3. Decision making.
DMM with 4 independent solutions SEDA WPSM
Bayesian network of decision making SEDA WPSM
Actually, we’re sure that our approach is better as using 4 methods of
calculating the probability of the diagnosis more accurate.

SEDA & WPSM
MATCHING
3. Bullet injuries detection SEDA WPSM
4. CEB injuries detection SEDA WPSM
5. Barotraumas detection SEDA WPSM
6. Thermal burns detection SEDA WPSM
7. Chemical burns detection SEDA WPSM
8. Cuts and stubs detection SEDA WPSM
All listed features are possible in the SEDA because of the additional
Environment Sensors layer, described above. All features are the
elements of the Environment Sensors layer and built in Sensor Grid.

SEDA & WPSM
MATCHING
9. Brain disorders by alpha-waves detection SEDA WPSM
In the SEDA the technology similar to EEG will be integrated to the
helmet with the goal of brain disorders detection. We need further
researches in the terms of the SEDA project to register data on the
moving soldier. The EEG sensor is discussing in the WPSM but we
don’t see any defined brain disorders as functional requirements of the
future WPSM system.
10. Blood glucose level detection SEDA WPSM
There are two types of blood glucose level changes of diabetics – the
hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Both types of glycemia are out of
problem.

SEDA & WPSM
MATCHING
11. Active first-aid integrated systems SEDA WPSM
There are two active first-aid integrated subsystems in the SEDA
uniform. Among them are non-invasive injector for injecting the
medicine according to the doctor’s recommendation and already
patented pneumatic medical tourniquet. The injector may be
developed in the frame of bracelet as on the image below. The
injector is the topic of further researches and doctor’s
recommendation needed.

SEDA & WPSM
MATCHING
The four tourniquets placed on the limbs are the 100% automated
subsystems of the uniform which will be used in the cases of blood
loss incidents.
