SECURE, SPACE BASED TROOP/CONVOY MANAGEMENT PLATFORM USING SATCOM AT DEDICATED CONTROL CENTRES.
Asset and Convoy/troop movement is essential for both operational and logistics management. The Armed forces operate in a rugged and inhospitable terrain where in the tracking of deployed troops or assets becomes challenging due to the topological conditions. In view, a pervasive network footprint offered by SatCom could prove beneficial for such geo-tracking applications. Hence, it is proposed to develop a SatCom based tracking solution. The solution should have two elements namely, user element and logging element.
User element:
small form factor terminal that can be carried by mobile teams/ vehicles
able to transmit its positional information (like PNT) to a centralised server using the GEO SatCom link
Logging element:
Server along with requisite storage for archiving and displaying the positional information transmitted by various user terminals
host a display GUI which can plot the received PNT information on a digital map at a central location
