Protecting active operational forces in rescue operations in sensitive situations due to natural disasters or enemy attacks is considered as a basic strategy in national macro management strategy. Therefore, having useful information in this regard is of utmost importance and has a significant position to increase the defensive power of every country.
In this study, data from specific sensors installed on clothes and carry-on equipment of an operational force are saved after sampling and initial processing. The received information can be classified in three categories. This information in appropriate data packages (with encryption to protect data security) are transmitted to the control center of system using cellular telecommunications network infrastructure (using GPRS service). These data packages after being filtered and displayed in monitoring software, are stored in main system database. The first group of received information contains vital signs such as heart rate signals, body temperature, blood pressure and blood sugar. The second group contains environmental condition information such as temperature, humidity, amount of oxygen and CO2, air pressure and lighting of environment. The third group contains spatial-time information such as latitude and longitude, the precise time, speed and the tempo in case of the force mobility.
By designing and implementing prototype of this system, using the said information, the location and environmental conditions of the forces were informed and the health and performance of the forces were successfully monitored. The results can be used in management planning and performance measurement of rescue teams in training, maneuvers and real rescue operations.
