SENSATE-LINER EPLRS TELEMETERED DATA INPUT FOR ENCOMPASS

Abstract

A systems engineering development for acquisition, transmission, processing, dissemination and display of information vital to combat casualty care and related first responder activities is presented. It utilizes a synergistic combination of two existing state-of-the-art Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency/Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego (DARPA/SSCSD) technologies (Sensate-Liner and ENCOMPASS) coupled via the Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS), an existing wireless military tactical communication data system. Transmission Security and Communication Security (TRANSEC/COMMSEC) of environmental and biomedical data is thus accomplished from the battlefield via selected data links and Ethernet. System functionality and appropriate candidate interfacing technologies will be discussed.
