Press Release, Ankara, 21 October 2024: HAVELSAN will demonstrate the latest advancements in its Digital Troop Technology for the first time at SAHA EXPO 24, with a hands-on exhibition. The Digital Soldier Product Family CENGAVER, Mixed Reality Product Family ASGER, C4I Product Family DOOB, and middleware software OCTOPUS will further empower digital troops.
Future Digital Defence Technologies: CENGAVER, DOOB, and ASGER: The combination of CENGAVER, DOOB, and ASGER brings future technologies to military troops today. HAVELSAN has added new capabilities to its swarm-based Digital Troop technology, which it has been working on for some time. This technology aims to make military troops’ joint operations with unmanned systems and platforms autonomous. With the integration of CENGAVER, DOOB, and ASGER, the Digital Troop technology has reached a much more effective level.
For the first time, the demonstration at SAHA EXPO 24 will showcase the power of digital troops through the field applications of CENGAVER. Real-time monitoring of activity, health, and location data, accelerating strategic decision-making processes through C4I, and providing clearer situational awareness through mixed reality technology offer unparalleled strength to digital troops. Innovative features such as tracking key personnel/assets using ultra-wideband-based UAVs, precise landing/takeoff, and indoor positioning also take the concept of the digital soldier a step further.
These systems, equipped with a strong software infrastructure and innovative sensors, will offer the most advanced solutions in defence technologies, ensuring maximum efficiency and security at every stage of defence operations.
The technologies behind that bring new superior features to digital troops
CENGAVER: Digital Soldier Product Family.
- CENGAVER is a comprehensive digital soldier solution developed to monitor the health and activity data of military personnel.
- The system is equipped with components such as the Activity and Health Tracking Watch, Portable Computer, Positioning Unit, and Radio, which work in integration with the DOOB-Mobile command and control application via Bluetooth.
- It collects and transmits real-time data such as pulse, oxygen levels, body temperature, physical activity, and GNSS-based (outdoor) or ultra-wideband-based (indoor) location information.
- Thus, the status of personnel can be continuously monitored across a wide range, from tactical fields to strategic headquarters.
- With the “VIP Tracking” capability, UAVs provide highly accurate data; UAV location, orientation, and speed information can be monitored through the DOOB product family.
- The capability of precise takeoff and landing using ultra-wideband will also be part of the demonstration.
DOOB: C4I Product Family.
- The DOOB product family ensures top-level information flow between units in the field and the headquarters as a C4I (Command, Control, Communication, Computers, and Intelligence) system.
- The DOOB-Mobile command control application receives data from CENGAVER via Bluetooth and transfers it to DOOB-Headquarters, integrating with the central C4I system.
- UAV integration enables the secure monitoring and tracking of designated personnel and areas.
ASGER: Mixed Reality Product Family.
- ASGER takes operational awareness to a new level by incorporating Mixed Reality (MR) technology into military operations.
- Data from CENGAVER and UAVs are displayed in real-time and in three dimensions through both screens and MR glasses via the ASGER system.
- This allows for faster tactical decision-making, with three different users simultaneously able to observe the data of field personnel and UAVs in 3D.
OCTOPUS: Ensuring Seamless Data Flow.
- The products CENGAVER, DOOB, and ASGER communicate through middleware software called OCTOPUS, which was developed in accordance with JDSS (Joint Dismounted Soldier System) standards.
- OCTOPUS organises data transfer between systems, ensuring seamless integration of all units in the field and at headquarters.
