Instrumentation
Connect the force. Capture the event. Understand the outcome.
BlackOhm connects personnel, vehicles, unmanned systems, and training equipment to give leaders a clearer operational awareness of what happens in the field.
Turn Field Data Into Operational Insight
Complex training requires visibility across people, platforms, and events. BlackOhm helps organizations collect and connect field data so commanders, observer/controllers, safety personnel, and evaluators can follow activity as it unfolds and review it afterward. Our approach combines wearable and platform-mounted devices, flexible communications, and software integration to support instrumentation across training areas, combat training centers, test environments, and operational units.
Instrument the People, Platforms and Systems That Matter
Capability | What it supports |
|---|---|
Dismounted instrumentation |
Track personnel location and movement to support accountability, maneuver analysis, and event reconstruction. |
Mounted instrumentation | Connect vehicles and mobile platforms to the broader operational picture. |
Air and unmanned systems instrumentation |
Add aircraft and UAS position data to help teams understand activity across ground and air elements. |
Physiological monitoring | Bring available physiological indicators into the training picture to support safety oversight and performance assessment. |
Training system integration | Connect compatible tactical engagement systems and vest controllers to associate personnel, position, and training events. |
Visualization and review | Present connected data through Omega COP or integrate it into a customer-designated environment. |
Connect Tactical Engagement Data to the Training Picture
Location provides context. Engagement events add another layer of understanding. BlackOhm’s SigmaX and Instrumented Vest System Controller Kit (IWS-CK) support the connection between dismounted personnel and compatible tactical engagement equipment. Integrations can help associate participants, movement, and available engagement events for exercise monitoring and after-action analysis. Interface compatibility, supported event types, and configuration are established with each customer.
Support the Full Training Cycle
BlackOhm instrumentation supports military exercise planning, real-time personnel and platform tracking, and after-action review. Integrated location and event data help training staff maintain accountability and evaluate operational performance.
Prepare the exercise
Establish participant and platform associations, organize tracked elements, and configure the operating picture around the training requirement.
Monitor execution
Follow connected personnel and platforms, maintain accountability, and provide exercise staff with shared visibility throughout the event.
Review performance
Use recorded movement and available event data to reconstruct activity, examine decisions, and support evidence-based feedback.
Work Within Your Environment
Instrumentation should support the systems your organization uses. BlackOhm supports integration approaches for customer common operating pictures, training systems, and data environments. Deployment planning addresses interfaces, hosting, network access, data handling, and applicable cybersecurity requirements.
LTE, private LTE, LoRa, and Bluetooth connectivity options can be configured around the selected equipment and mission environment. Coverage, infrastructure, and reporting requirements guide the communications design.
Built Around Your Mission
BlackOhm’s military instrumentation solutions connect personnel tracking, vehicle tracking, and training-system data across combat training centers and operational environments. These capabilities support military training, test and evaluation, situational awareness, and after-action review.
Combat Training Centers
Connect rotational forces, vehicles, and compatible training systems to support exercise control, observer/controller visibility, and after-action review.
Institutional and Unit Training
Support accountability and oversight during maneuver exercises, land navigation, selection events, airborne training, and other distributed activities.
Test and Evaluation
Collect position and movement data from personnel and platforms to support evaluation objectives. Additional telemetry depends on available interfaces and the agreed integration scope.
Operational Units
Extend visibility across distributed personnel and assets to support coordination and mission awareness.
