There are numerous problems of security in paratrooper drops. Many occasions night jumps are done or drops are produced into the battlespace under reduced visibility. This is good and poor. It is good because the enemy can’t see you as easy to destroy you, but poor because you can’t see anything both. At night it is frequently regarded as a blessing to make a jump into enemy territory because you do so under cover of darkness. Since contemporary day soldiers have GPS gear and wrist watches I propose utilizing them to help stop entanglements, stealing of air movement to an additional soldiers canopy and burn-ins.

There is an off the shelf technologies used in fire fighting called AFF. AFF stands for Automated Flight Following System, which is used in aerial fire fighting to insure that the fire retardant is dropped in the drop zone even though with the smoke the visibility is extremely reduced making it tough to see. As 1 aircraft goes in an additional follows in behind it. This off the shelf technologies has been used for over a ten years now and with the advances of GPS accuracy and GIS modeling of surface terrain by satellite its utilizes ought to be incorporated into the laying of smart dust and most likely will be quickly.

When paratroopers are deployed in the battlespace each GPS unit will have a buzzer permitting the parachute operator to know he is too shut to the next nearest chute or that a chute is rapidly approaching his/her airflow. This will improve security in night jumps and under zero-zero visibility or near so. Because of to the quantity of aircraft dropping and the quantity of paratroopers this information can also be sent back to the command and manage of the Blue Force for tracking.

As soon as this technologies is implemented in practice jumps that information can be set onto an ERSI platform and 3D grid to help in simulator coaching for troops, thus we can train much more with much less actual jumps and save the major injuries to our soldiers and danger deaths which can happen. Believe on this.
