Presentation Transcript

  1. The GI-EKG Group G • Kevin Stefanik • Adam Stevens • Alexander Stronko • Daniel Taylor

  2. Purpose • Integration of the modern soldier into the modern battlefield. • Provide leaders the ability to track individual soldiers and units • Provide vital information about individual soldiers and units to those in authority • Increase the efficacy of the military by adding Flexibility, Knowledge, and Adaptability via the GI-EKG

  3. A System of Systems • The GI-EKG will integrate seamlessly into the Army’s developing Future Combat System • The GI-EKG will be a subsystem of the FCS system, also incorporating systems of its own. • The GI-EKG’s monitors and communications will be systems themselves, creating a flexible and adaptable device capable of meeting needs

  4. Information Optional Information: • Heart Rate or ECG • GPS coordinates • Blood Pressure • Ammo spent/remaining • Body core temperature • Body surface temperature • Respiration rate • EEG signals • Level of Hydration • Blood sugar level • Distance traveled/Steps taken • Estimates of Expended Energy • If it can be measured it can be monitored

  5. Monitoring - in Use

  6. Satellite Network The transmissions will integrate with the military’s existing FCS satellite backbone • Destination being a Command Center Options: • Transmission of each unit directly to the satellite network. • Transmission of each unit to an intermediate source then to the satellite network

  7. Satellite Backbone

  8. Wireless Transmission The transmissions would arrive at an intermediate destination • Field Command Center • Relay station/point Options: • Transmission to local relay station forwarded to satellite network or command center. • Transmission to AWACS aircraft and then relayed to command center or satellite network. • Use of a hierarchal network within a unit, from soldier to leader, and leader to base.

  9. Wireless Transmissions

  10. Location Goals: • Unobtrusive • Relatively Safe Three Areas Involved: Ammunition Counting Device:

  11. Materials • High density polycarbonate like Lexan Copper wire mesh • Future Possibilities: • Carbon Nanotube Case • Strength • EMP protection

  12. Target Audience • The Department of Defense currently has 1,130, 835 active duty military personnel • The Army, Marine Corp, and Navy have combat soldiers • The Army alone has a budget of 98.6 billion (2005) • $21.4 billion is dedicated exclusively to the FCS system

  13. The GI-EKG • Team G is asking for an initial investment of $1 million dollars. • Future development costs will be small in comparison to the Army’s budgets. • The GI-EKG will provide a new level of flexibility, knowledge, and adaptability to America’s military, saving lives.
