Military operations are increasingly complex, multifaceted, and unpredictable, requiring new technologies, methodologies, and capabilities. As the technological capabilities of adversaries evolve, commanders are under more pressure to anticipate, plan, and act under increasingly volatile conditions and restricted timeframes. This is causing militaries around the globe to transition from reactive legacy operational models in favor of decentralized, proactive processes fueled by predictive AI technologies. This requires an order of magnitude increase in the volume, availability, and relevance of edge intelligence.
AssetLink has invested decades of R&D into the design and manufacture of high availability solar powered IoT sensor interfaces, resulting in AssetPack, a highly versatile distributed asset tracking and monitoring solution, designed for frequent two-way satellite communications with military assets. Our MILSPEC solutions are self-contained, ruggedized and offer a 7-10 service life, perfect for complex asset deployments.
IoT in the Military
The AssetPack is a highly versatile equipment tracking and sensor monitoring solution, designed for frequent two-way communication with unpowered assets. Implemented stand-alone or as part of a distributed network of data collection points, AssetPack sensor interfaces provide the actionable intelligence and situational awareness needed for complex global military deployments.
Safeguard personnel and assets, proactively, with real time access to GPS location and asset monitoring data. Available in satellite, cellular, or hybrid options, the solution is fully self-contained, waterproof, dustproof, ruggedized for military use in unforgiving environments. In addition to its track & trace capabilities, the solution can be easily configured to monitor a wide range of metrics via on-board sensor agnostic analog and digital inputs. This makes monitoring performance and operating status of fixed and mobile military equipment, simple, secure, and intuitive.
Whether adopting the latest in predictive maintenance technologies, using geofences for guided asset deployments, or proactively monitoring fuel usage to prevent theft, AssetLink offers unfettered access to decentralized intelligence required for highly fluid military operations.
