The MILTRAK Alert and Tracking
System (MATS) is a new smaller and lighter version of the deployed
MILTRAK soldier system. It has been specifically designed to enable users to
rapidly identify and locate friendly distress alerts in hostile and combat
environments.
The system provides real time
situational awareness and navigation tools that significantly enhance
operational effectiveness and the security of end users. Primarily designed for
use in dismounted close combat the system has a multitude of applications and
can be easily adapted for use in urban environments or challenging remove
locations where there is a high threat risk. MATS uses GPS to mark each
individuals location on an easy to read map and in the event of an emergency,
activation of the alert enables quick and accurate tracking, helping to save
lives.
Situational Awareness
MATS offers full, real time
situational awareness with a high refresh rate to improve command and control
functionality and enhance user personal security. In combat situations, this
enables the Commander to co-ordinate forces more effectively and reduce the
potential for blue on blue. In non combat commercial uses, it ensures that all
team members can be easily located in case of an incident or emergency.
Designed for Demanding situations
MATS is a cost effective solution
which provides real support and assistance to the end user in the most
demanding of environments. Its military development heritage ensures that it is
more than capable of operating in any military and commercially applicable
situations throughout the world. The system has been designed to have minimal
impact on the user in terms of weight and operations with only minimal training
requirements.
