HAVELSANdeveloped to increase the effectiveness of security forces in military operations and maximize their situational awareness in the field.digital shaver” project CENGAVER’i made him ready to go on the field. This innovative technology, which has been studied for many years, attracted attention at the Soldier of the Future 2024 event.

CENGAVER brings high technology to the field

HAVELSAN Modeling and Sensor Technologies Team Leader Caglar AkmanHe stated that CENGAVER, developed within the framework of the digital unity concept, combines traditional military capabilities with advanced technologies. Pointing out that the first indispensable part of the digital soldier and digital unity is the wired-wireless communication network, Akman stated that they also use wireless communication equipment for a mobile soldier.

Answering the question of where are you and how are you, CENGAVER constantly monitors the staff in the outdoor or GPS not workingin environments where it is blocked or confused ultra wide band Thanks to (UWB) technology, it determines the position of the personnel precisely. In addition, while this system enables communication with teammates, the command center also provides information about the status of the soldiers. instant information It also allows you to receive Positioning accuracy is 1 meter indoors and 6 meters outdoors.

Soldier’s health and performance data are monitored instantly

One of the most striking features of CENGAVER is that the soldier Ability to constantly monitor health status. Through a wearable smart watch, data such as soldiers’ blood oxygen level, heart rhythm, body temperature and movement status are collected. In the light of this information, soldiers’ fatigue levels, stress status and even possible injuries can be determined. Thus, commanders can instantly monitor the location and status of soldiers in the field.

When designing CENGAVER, HAVELSAN adopted a minimalist approach so as not to hinder the mobility of soldiers. Caglar Akman, “We used sensors or hardware as simply as possible. Because attaching dozens of wearable sensors to the soldier operating in the field reduces his mobility. While various solutions can currently do this with more than one sensor, we aim to achieve this with a single watch at the end of the day. What we claim is a single watch.” “We will provide a wearable product and we will obtain most of the information needed with a single wearable product.” he said.

Stating that the system they developed with the concept of both civilian and military use also provides solutions for firefighters, police and medical teams, Akman stated that they have achieved a solution to meet military needs by further strengthening the hardware and software.

Pointing out that the prototype of the system is ready and tested in the operational environment, Akman made the following evaluations: “For product development, we need to sit down with the end users, determine their needs very clearly and shape them according to these needs.” On the other hand, it is underlined that HAVELSAN is ready for this and that final success will be achieved soon.
