Ground Soldier Ensemble
Abstract
The Nett Warrior (NW) Program (named in honor of Medal of Honor recipient Colonel Robert C. Nett), also known as the Ground Soldier System (GSS) Program, leverages commercial smart devices and secure Army tactical radios to provide the dismounted leader an integrated mission command and situational awareness system for use during combat operations. The NW system provides operators electronic, real-time information on friendly positions; information about enemy activity and movement; navigational data and map imagery; and other mission related graphics which effectively puts the power of the entire Army tactical network in the hands of the dismounted leader. The NW system also provides the same integrated mission command capability to tactical vehicle mounted leaders so that when they dismount their vehicles, they still have access to the common operating picture (COP) and have full situational awareness. This capability provides unparalleled situational awareness and understanding to the dismounted leader allowing for faster, more accurate decisions and reduced fratricide in the tactical fight. The development and integration process relies significantly on feedback from combat operations and employs combat veterans for Soldier integration and feedback enhancing human factors design and fightability of the system. The NW program also integrates soldier power systems aimed at considerably reducing the weight of the dismounted soldier's load. This project funds the following: 1) Yearly developmental and operational test of the NW with continually advancing commercial smart device technology inserted, 2) Software development for planned updates, 3) Integration with Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), including vehicle power integration, 4) and Government led integration and system engineering and program management.
