Sensors to Support the Soldier

Abstract

The charge, which was proposed by JASON itself and approved by Dr. Steve Lubard (Technical Director, S&T, ONR) read as follows: Ever in the vanguard of our nation's military forces, the Marine Corps must fight to secure the peace in nontraditional terrain, such as urban areas, often under restrictive rules of engagement. Such operations demand sophisticated sensors and surveillance so that threats may be countered with force appropriate to the environment. JASON will review ongoing programs and promising technologies that may meet these needs". The JASON study focused on the following topic areas: squad-level communications; location, navigation, and maps; sensing through walls; countering snipers; and uses for UAVs. We will now summarize our principal findings and conclusions in each of these areas.
