North Eagles is a Swiss firm specializing in wrist one situational awareness systems. For instance they manufacture a gas detector for industrial applications.
At Milipol they showed their newest creation, a tactical instrument which offers several functions:
Battlefield Situational Awareness
- Collect and analyze data generated by the watch sensors or connected sensors
(GPS, acceleration & pressure sensor, noise) - Generate an automatic report of the current field situation (rest or active time, soldier is moving rapidly, fall, explosion, shootings, combat intensity, etc.)
- Geolocation of troops at Soldier level
- Target geolocation
- Distance to target
- Blue forces geolocation
- Dead reckoning (GNSS denied environment)
Soldier Health Awareness
- Collect & analyse data generated by the watch sensors or connected sensors (heart beat, acceleration & pressure sensors, noise)
- Generate an automatic report of the soldier’s health: stress level, estimated need to recover, medical issue
- Vital information transmission
- Proof of life
Communication & Data
- C2 Support: Enables command and control functions
- Secure Communication: Provides encrypted data transmission.
- Multi-Function: Handles location, status, requests & commands
- Jamming resistance & minimal radio signature
- Kill Switch
Additionally, this wrist mounted device offers the wearer access to the following data:
- Local temperature
- Local pressure
- Blue and Red tracking
- Gas detector
- Ionizing radiation detector
- Explosives detector
- Narcotics detector
Although the screen does not depict a map, the system will integrate vector map backgrounds. Additionally, it uses a spread spectrum protocol to connnect to Soldierborne comms systems.
