ECOM SQPS is a multiplier
that a commando needs. The success of a squad behind enemy lines may just
depend on this. After a para-drop from the plane inside hostile territory
you must know where you and your squad are vis-à-vis the objective. SQPS
is a personnel electronic map positioning system, the commander wears it
on his belt. On a small portable color screen, he can view the map of the
area, his objective, his own position and that of his entire squad. A
miniature GPS sensor on the shoulder of every commando establishes his
position, which is electronically transmitted to the commander and
displayed on hand computer via the squad radio. The entire mission is
programmed in the map on the commanders hand computer overlaid on the
geographic map of the area. |
