The Warrior Compact Targeter (WACT)
wireless network links commanders, sensors, target acquisition
equipment including weapon's sights and binoculars. The system
tracks every member via personal location reporting unit generating
a detailed situational awareness (SA) picture in real time. The
common situational picture is distributed to each of the members and
displayed to the warrior on an individual control and display units
(PDA, MPRS
weapon's sight or helmet mounted display unit).
At the system level, WACT incorporates
command and control aids, including a mobile computer or large
screen, where commanders can watch 3D views, perform planning,
real-time tracking and conduct after-action reviews. An urban
communications environment is provided supported by wireless
communications relay facilitating efficient coverage of the area of
operation.
The system provides situational awareness
for the small taskforce, by providing 3D terrain analysis of an
urban area, for mission planning, by calculating visibility options
from various points of view, evaluating potential routes. The system
provides target acquisition and dissemination based location,
bearing and range data received from multiple sensors including
binoculars and weapon's sights. The system also processes video
streams from sensors including cameras and weapons sights. Images
can be disseminated to other team members, displayed on PDAs or
helmet mounted sight displays. |
