Removing The Soldier From The Battlefield

Employing Augmented Reality for Remote Assistance Tasks on Deployments

Conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan over thepast 15 years saw an increase in civilian contractor and level 3 support tofront line troops. Yet as the tempo and magnitude of operations has decreasedso has the number of soldiers we have to draw from.  Whilst recruitment campaigns strive toattract more recruits, the MoD must look to alternative solutions to provide supportto front line troops.  This articledemonstrates how Augmented Reality (AR) can provide one such alternative inproviding the immediate and intimate support to deployed personnel whilstreducing the need for expensive contractors or level 3 support. 
Why should we bother with AR?

In Aug 2018 TATRC (2018) reported how the Augmented Reality Forward Surgical Care (ARFSC)”Telestration Team” conducted testing using (AR) to To supportprolonged field medical care in austere environments and in locations wheretrauma or combat surgeons aren’t available. Using AR technology deployed surgeons are able to receive imagesfrom remote assistance support teams in the form of pictures, videos and audiowhilst having the freedom to use his or her hands.  In addition, the deployed surgeon can streamlive video and audio back to the remote assistance support team in real time.  This solution provides an opportunity formilitary personnel to receive real-time support from several sources usingmulti-media solutions whilst deployed in austere locations.
