Monitoring making sense
Scimitar C5i Real Time Command and
Control Platform from Brisbane-based
EPE was selected by the
Australian Defence Force under the Army
Innovation Day funding for a 12-month
human factor performance trial.
The trial has just concluded with positive results. The
physiological status monitoring provided
key metrics allowing defence members to
increase awareness and enhance decision-
making as well as provide a higher-level
duty of care. With the additional information
available to monitoring staff, this provided a
measured increase in specific physiological
markers and a reduction in potential for
injury/physical stress.
Scimitar C5i informs commanders,
medics and trainers who is where, when,
and what they are seeing. It provides live
video and audio feeds; monitors whether
personnel are working safely; and gives
visual geolocation of personnel and assets
and encrypted communication to 1.5km,
allowing safer deployment of personnel.
