INfANTRY SOLDiER SiTUATiONAL AWARENEss TOOL (ISSAT)

INTEGRATED SOLDiER SYsTEMs The Infantry Soldier Situational Awareness Tool (ISSAT) system was developed to address the evolving needs of integrated soldier systems in Future Soldier and Soldier Modernisation Programmes. ISSAT enables real-time information sharing using networked data applications, which significantly enhance battlefield Situational Awareness (SA), Command & Control (C2) and soldier functionality in the dismounted close combat environment. It offers: Enhanced soldier SA Enhanced C2 Networked voice and data communications GPS positioning and Blue Force Tracking (BFT)

Command & Control The system is designed for operation with the family of Selex ES Soldier Radios (PRR, SSR and FSR) enhancing tactical Command & Control at section, patrol and platoon level, and up to company HQ, through localised SA, networked data, navigation and command tools, GPS positioning and digital mapping.

Blue Force Situational Awareness (SA) ISSAT enables real-time visibility of the Blue Force picture through a combination of SA applications and tools, networked data and messaging. It provides a flexible and cost-effective addition to the integrated soldier communication system. Networked Data Messaging ISSAT provides simple text and instant networked data messaging over the soldier radio network, enhancing communications and information sharing across the network. Depending on the configuration of each soldier radio channel (network profile), the SSR ISSAT system can support up to 32 users on each single channel. GPS Positional Information GPS positions of all networked members are transmitted over the soldier radio network and are visible by all parties with an ISSAT data device connected. The GPS has a high refresh rate and each radio is allocated a unique identifier to enhance positional recognition. Digital Mapping The system supports up to eight layers of digital maps and imagery, providing localised SA, GPS position and mapping symbol overlays to enhance the Blue Force picture. The rugged data device supports pan, scroll and zoom.

Mission Planning PC-based mission planning tools enable commanders to plan their missions effectively, create and store mission data and positional information, and de-conflict with other commanders. The mission plan is then uploaded into ISSAT prior to deployment. Once the COMPLAN is uploaded into the soldier system radio, the data can be shared on the network between data devices. Route Planning and Navigation Utilising digital mapping preloaded into the data device, mapping symbols and route planning tools, the system enables section and patrol commanders to effectively plan routes, and de-conflict route information and patrol obstacles. Routes can also be recorded to provide accurate positional feedback at the end of the patrol or mission. Image Transfer/Geo-Tagging ISSAT supports geo-tagged photography and messaging attachments. Tactical Messaging Formats The system will support preloaded tactical messaging formats for transmission over the soldier radio network.
