Next-gen Military Training
ABITS was a cooperative development project coordinated by Guardiaris together with Viewpointsystem and Smartex, co-funded by the European Defence Fund. It created an indoor training solution with integrated data-driven performance indicators. This training-simulation loop gathers data from physiological sensors, assesses trainee well-being through performance quantification, and provides analytics. It captures and quantifies a trainee's psychophysical state, such as attention, stress, and cognitive load, using non-invasive physiological sensors integrated within the training and simulation environment.
Guardiaris played a key role in the project, designing, prototyping, and testing the equipment used in military training. With the aim of enhancing readiness and performance of EU forces, the consortium designed and tested non-invasive wearable sensors to monitor vital signs and cognitive load during training, then leveraging real-time monitoring and AI-driven data fusion to dynamically adapt the scenarios based on trainee wellbeing.
The sensors track eye movement, heart rate, galvanic skin reactions, breathing frequency, and blood oxygen levels. This monitoring with360-degree performance evaluation based on grading and ranking using newly developed combined KPI metrics allows for matching soldiers to the most suitable weapon system based on their physiological reactions, optimizing their performance and, ultimately, their survivability on the battlefield.
