Public:Helicopter - RPA

Here we propose to formulate missions and objectives, related problems and limitations, and opportunities to solve problems. Please offer ideas on the Discussion page (see above under Page Title), constructive feedback along with your suggestion, add information, and suggest useful links to web pages.

Users Description

1. Utilizing ARHUDFM for Greater Maritime Situational Awareness from Vertical Lift Aircraft. Innovative solution utilizing internal and external (on board) HD StereoCam, NIR Cam (IR-A), SWIR Cam (IR-B), other sensors, that could be deployed from a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft during an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) mission to improve maritime situational awareness.

2. RPA (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) Teams: UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems), UAV (Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles).
3. Helicopter Rescue Crew
4. Combat Helicopters Crew (pilots, machine gun masters): Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH)

Problems (pain) to be solved

Communication (Comms)

Distributed communication Cross Domain, between units (one-to-many, many-to-many) and team / unit inside:

• Quality of communication
• Voice communication with the enemy at a distance
• Encryption
• Instant messages
• Simultaneous communication through multiple channels
• Accuracy of information and communication
• Duration of communication sessions

Orientation and navigation

Orientation and navigation considering fast dynamic environmental factors:

• Friend-or-foe system identification (IFF)
• Speed of map reading and positioning
• Exchange of positions within the same unit and especially during inter-domain interaction
• Capture of enemy fire positions and missile launch positions, approach to distant objects and object recognition

Focus of attention

The effect on concentration when performing multiple simultaneous actions:

• Observation, detection and approval
• Execution of the combat task
• Delegating the task to another
• Ballistic measurement and target setting
• Reporting the execution of the task
• Monitoring the execution of the task by others
• Screen view, text input

Negative user experience

Disadvantages of portable devices:

• Dimensions and weight
• Lack of comfort during prolonged wear (pressure on head and face, fogging of goggles and visor, insufficient ventilation of head and face, battery charge)
• Wired communication between devices on head, back, waist, and chest
• Visibility to the enemy when using glow screens at night
• Lack of integration of the different systems - respirator, face shield, night vision, drinking system, voice communication - into each other

What everyone in the group is missing:

• Night vision and night vision scope
• Thermal imaging sight
• Optical (digital) binoculars and close combat optics
• Portable handheld radio with encrypted voice transmission
• Navigation device and compass
• Respiratory protection, face protection and hearing protection
• Helmet and body protection
• Uniforms, footwear, equipment, ammunition (instead of which, for example, you can take more ammunition and water with you)
• First aid equipment

Deficiencies of the human systems

Lack of important additional electronic functions:

• Written encrypted communication
• Silent voice communication (acoustic voice isolation)
• Real-time transmission and viewing of images from the drone or robot on each participant's screen
• Transmission and viewing of images from external devices outside the body contour

Visual communication

• Exchange of digital position data for fast navigation
• Exchange of symbolic data for quick understanding
• Exchange of graphical information from drones and robots, transmission of camera images to other units and participants

Objects detection

• Enemy firing ranges
• Heat and smoke trails from missile trajectories with estimation of launch positions
• Faces and objects from a distance

Acoustic environment

• Noise filtering and detection for better orientation and observation

Task management

• Electronic management of tasks (automatic tracking, delegation, proof of completion)
• C4I, Electronic Warfare and Battlefield Management Systems Integration

Shooting assistance

• Electronic ballistic calculation
• Aiming assistance and correction
• Temporary limited situational awareness (not both eyes open)
• Instant exchange of enemy positions
• Distributed target control

Training & Couching assistance

• Quick tips
• Error control
• Theoretical training
• Virtual Coach
• Live-Synthetic Training Environment (L-STE) Integration
