PERSONAL EYE SYSTEM
Personal Eye System is a personal tracking, navigation and data sharing application aimed at soldiers, police, security forces, emergency services and others that need topographic navigation, tracking, blue force tracking, and common operational picture sharing. PES was designed by the active soldiers, as a substitute for a traditional GPS receiver, paper map and a mobile phone.
It is designed to operate on an Android platform and uses global positioning system, and other device sensors for acquiring own position. This position is then displayed on raster map. PES uses raster maps, are which for topographic navigation. It does not offer turn by turn navigation per se, such as Garmin or other navigation devices that rely on a road network data. PES can use online public maps (Yahoo, Google, Open Street Maps etc.), Online WMS maps (usually provided by internal GIS departments), offline maps stored on the device in TMS (tiled format), or offline cached maps stored while browsing online maps. Ability to use offline or cached offline maps comes very handy in areas with no 3G coverage or when cost of data transfer is a limiting factor.

PES POSITION IN C4I SCHEMA
PES is a member of Milsistemika C4I suite. It is aimed toward execution level, and relies on BES and IHTA (Intelligent HQ Assistant) for planning, and seamlessly integrate with BES (Battle Eye System) used by the mobile units.

Ability to use offline or cached offline maps comes very handy in areas with no 3G coverage or when cost of data transfer is a limiting factor.
INTEGRATION AND CONNECTIVITY
It is best suited for the C1 dismounted segment deployments in or in some types of vehicles. It perfectly complements our C2 segment Battle Eye System solution. PES also offers seamless integration with the C2 segment and supports bi-directional data exchange with BES (Battle Eye Sstem) and IHTA (“Intelligent HQ Tactical Assistant”), our own C4I level software or other C4I systems.
PES uses IP capability of modern military radios for communication. Beside the IP layer PES can communicate using an ASYNC driver (especially useful on older equipment) or WiFi and GSM / 3G cellular network.
Although being a key part of Milsistemika future soldier programme, it can be used stnadalone, as a navigation tool, or dismounted commander. PES is also an integral part of dismounted fire control system and JTAC tools. It can integrate with Kestrel weather stations, and Laser Range Finders to provide soldiers with adequate targeting tools.
