From the second half of the 1990s, thanks to more affordable and more powerful information technology and electronical systems for recording based on miniaturized sensors, we can observe a more intensive development of a method of data analysis and a system that monitors the physical and psychological conditions of soldiers. Systems for measuring and evaluation methods of physical and medical data for the diagnostics of physical and psychological state have significantly spread, especially in clinical practice. This study, however, examines the current technologies and usage of the wearable monitoring systems in military field. The result of this study is not only the not-yet published summary of the current state, but also the proposed possibilities of usage and recommendation of specific systems, their sensors and system methods in the military. Thus, the article can serve as a guide for choosing suitable and affordable electronical wearable systems and methods of quantitative evaluation of physical and psychological conditions of people in the military.
The paper presents a method to assist the landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) on a moving Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). The measurement of the relative position of the UAV and the UGV is carried out by a cheap USB camera. The paper deals with the list of the difficulties of such a system which have to be taken into account and develop ideas on how to overcome them. The solution of the key problems is implemented and tested by experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
