Programme vision
Wherever UK Armed Forces are, whatever their mission,
S&T has sensing capability to enable situational
awareness of land, air and sea, when they need it to
support appropriate military effects. By integration of a
broad range of sensor technologies, UK Armed Forces
achieve full coverage of the battlefield. Exploitation and
development of affordable sensor technology will enable
the UK to meet evolving threats and maintain UK
Sovereign capability and freedom of action.

Programme drivers (1)
• Policy / doctrine trends
– need to generate evidence base capable of informing next SDSR
(policy and strategy formulation, capability/force structure design)
– Technology White Paper drives delivery
– managed reduction in manned ISTAR platforms and single function
collectors, replaced by introduction of multi-role platforms to provide
tactical flexibility (SDSR 10)
– future battlespace „congested, cluttered, contested, and connected‟ *
– unpredictable adversaries and threats, whose behaviour will be hard
to discern and ambiguous *
– tighter integration of capability and a greater adaptation needed to
overcome future adversaries *

Programme drivers (2)
• Economic pressure
– limited investment in capability change, thus S&T needs to focus on areas that
offer defence significant advantage in the near, medium and long term.
– continued maintenance/upgrade of the sensor inventory is economically
unsustainable
– traditional sensor development routes for land, sea and air are also
economically unsustainable
– sophisticated technology is expensive and takes time to develop
• Technology trends
– Technology now enabling multi-band, multi-function operation from one sensor
– Networked sensor operation and effective real-time fusion now becoming
feasible

• Background:
– MOD are developing a Generic Soldier Architecture (GSA)
DefStan 23-12 to help the system integration and
interoperability of the soldier
– Running a Technology Development Programme (TDP)
looking at moving power and data around the torso of the
soldier, minimising resupply demand, physical and
architectural burdens
– Developing a demonstrator of power and data on the weapon
– Investigating the data needs of helmet mounted technologies
– „Green Ethernet‟ and IEEE 802.3az standards exist

• What have we learnt:
– Currently define USB 2.0 in GSA
• Good – Low Power
• Bad – Timing Synchronisation, data rates
in USB 2
– Ethernet
• Good – Timing Synchronisation, data
rate with 1Gb Ethernet
• Bad – Power
• What we want:
– 1GBaseT (1 Gb/s) Ethernet at as lower power as possible for a 6 node system
with 1 m lengths
– OR a method of solving synchronisation and latency issues with USB
– To include Integration/development of low power and bulk USB-to-Ethernet and
Ethernet-to-USB adaptors

MOD wants to capture visual and
directional information, unobtrusively,
from soldiers on training exercises
UNCLASSIFIED 19/12/2013
![Page 42: 18 Dec 2013 - CDE enduring challenge competition webinar](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051611/54b7031e4a7959aa2a8b4750/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Background
– Two types of effect are required from shots fired by infantry
weapons, the majority do not hit the enemy
– Use laser simulation system in training which records HIT and
NEAR MISS shots. The remaining shots (the majority) are of
significant interest:
• Fired at visible target but missed
• Fired to suppress a known target that was not visible
• Fired without an identified target
– Could resolve these if it was known what the soldier was
looking at, and supplemented by knowing the direction
(azimuth) the weapon was pointing

• What have we learnt:
– Need to be a attachable/removable self contained training
device
– Size and weight are significant factors
– Challenging environment (weapon fire, weather etc)
• What we want:
– Record the optical sight picture during periods of use, and
identify when shots are fired.
– Records the azimuth of the weapon at the time of firing.
– Ability to time sync
– Potential to be transparent to the user
