4G – FUTURE WARRIOR
[attachment=67986]
ABSTRACT
Information is power, nowhere is this truer than on the battlefield, where the ability to communicate clearly and rapidly pass on information spells the difference between
Survival and death? 4G (4th Generation) is the technology that is going to drive a soldier in the field in future. The key for empowering the military with tactical broadband voice, video and data is 4G communications technology. This
technology adopts Wireless technology on the platform of fixed networks, Advanced antennae technologies and more
advanced wireless security technologies.
Next thing is about the gear for the future warrior. The 4G system providesa enhanced power of vision, which provides Ground Guidance, Unit Detection, Soldier Status, Target Hand-Off and provides the Soldier Rescue during the battle. The uniform along with the armour, onboard computer which will
monitor soldiers' overall physiological and psychological picture of how they are performing in the battle zone and
enhanced human performance which weighs 50 pounds from head to toe against 120 pounds of the current day system present.
INTRODUCTION
The new 4G systems include a weapon, head-to-toe individual protection, onboard computer network, soldier-worn power sources, and enhanced human performance. "The Future Warrior will be a responsive and formidable member of an
invincible battle space team". The Future Warrior system will meet the more immediate, short-term demands of our
fighting warriors in the battle space, and will remind us of an ominous creature out of a science fiction movie
TECHNOLOGY
This approach will support military operations across a spectrum of environments from backpacks to ships. The key technology supporting these initiatives is ad hoc peer-to-peer wireless
networking (ad hoc p2p), also known as a mobile mesh network. Ad hoc p2p operates by taking a collection of mobile terminals (such as handheld devices and vehicular systems) that communicate directly with each other without the aid of
established infrastructure. Ad hoc networking provides a self -organizing
and self-healing network structure. Multi-hop routing terminals act as routers and relays for each other, and extend the range and coverage of communications links between individualsoldiers, troop ransports and command centers
THE BASIC DESIGN
The military and DARPA have outlined specific capabilities for these devices. At a minimum, they will need the following setup processes that are essential for a good and effective communication between the soldier and his troops. Illustrated in
Deploy-ability with little or no fixed infrastructure
Military engagements are often spontaneous, and a communications solution needs to be, aswell. 4G Warriors bring their networks with them, and take
them away when they leave. Network setup automatically begins the minute troops exit a transport, helicopter or ship.
4G ON THE BATTLEFIELD
All of the battlefield network devices including those embedded in tanks or other vehicles will instantly form, heal, and update the network as users come and go. That is, they will associate in an ad-hoc manner. Moreover, the devices will automatically and continuously optimize network connections as users merge in and out of the network at will. As intelligent elements, all of the devices will constantly reconfigure routing tables to determine
the best network routes and, unlike cell-based solutions, network coverage and service levels will improve when soldier
density increases. The network resources are better utilized because networks are self-balancing, as well. The soldiers_
subscriber devices can hop to distant network access points, away from points of congestion, shifting network capacity to
meet demand. Network deployment will be fast and easy because it is tower less. Communication systems providing the backhaul and the network will disappear as fast as it was formed once soldiers leave the area. The 4G battlefield will be entirely mobile, with satellites or other.
POWER OF VISION
This has been seen in science-fiction movies, a dropdown piece of eyewear from the helmet allows the soldier to see a 17-inch computer screen displaying anything related to the soldier. "This eyewear device is see-through, so it hangs out in space”.This allows soldiers to take in all supporting data while keeping
both hands on their weapons. Illustrated in Figure 3.
Unit Detection :
Overlays beyond-line-of-sight
Combat identification. This allows to differentiate friend from Foe. Combat-ID is limited to line-of-sight identification, requires initiation, and encumbers soldiers
with additional equipment. Unit Detection overlays identification on live targets in a soldiers scope. Exposes enemies that are camouflaged, obscured, or outside of a
Soldier’s visual range. Enables rapid firing decisions and reduces the risk of friendly fire. Since, in Desert Storm (Jun
91) 35 out of 148 US casualties resulted from friendly fire. Illustrated in Figure
Ground Guidance :
The 4G system directs soldiers to targets while avoiding obstacles. Ground Guidance fuses road maps and aerial imagery to discover obstructions and generate routes. This enables commanders to cordoned off dangerous areas and demarcate secure zones. This frees commander from issuing turn-by-turn directions. This is a relief for the ommanders of olden days in which they use paper maps, issue turn-by-turn directions, and suggest obstructed routes.
BODY GEAR
The uniform system of the Future Warrior is been designed with more advanced nanotechnology. nanotechnology deals with the creation of incredibly small materials, devices or
systems with a scaled-down size of 100 nanometres or less. A nanometre is a metric measurement equivalent to one billionth of a meter. What we hope to gain from this program is body armour that
wears like a traditional textile impregnated with nanomachines connected to an nboard computer, So when you shoot a round into
the uniform system, it's normally pliable until it senses the strike of a round it becomes rigid, defeats the strike of the round and becomes soft again. A shortcoming of traditional body armor is that it can only absorb so many strikes from machine-gun rounds
CONCLUSION:
Here we have used the next technology of mobile technology- 4G for creating a fool proof system that can be used at any place by a military force in the future. This
system can be used to provide intelligent communication cum detection system using which every soldier can be virtually connected to a network that will be monitored by a mobile unit. Since the 4G technology is yet to become a reality the system may look very simple but as the
technology will be implemented a more complex and cost effective system could be designed.
