GROUND SOLDIER SYSTEM (GSS)

Abstract

The Nett Warrior (NW) program [named in honor of Medal of Honor recipient COL Robert Nett], previously known as Ground Soldier System (GSS) program, leverages commercial smart devices and secure Army tactical radios to provide an integrated dismounted leader Mission Command (MC) and Situational Awareness (SA) system for use during combat operations. The system provides unparalleled situational awareness and understanding to the dismounted leader allowing for faster and more accurate decisions in the tactical fight. This translates into Soldiers being at the right place, at the right time, with the right information making them more effective, more lethal, and more survivable in the execution of their combat mission. The NW program focuses on the integration and evaluation of commercial smart devices for the MC/SA system, improved navigation, and reduced fratricide through the visualization of friendly forces. The development and integration process employs combat veteran for Soldier integration and feedback enhancing the human factors and fightability. NW also develops supporting power systems aimed at achieving NET ZERO power balance in the expeditionary environment.
