Llamado Wearin’ Brain, este dispositivo franc\u00e9s\u00a0 se activa manualmente mediante un bot\u00f3n SOS o autom\u00e1ticamente cuando detecta una situaci\u00f3n anormal como p\u00e9rdida de verticalidad, perforaci\u00f3n de la cubierta del chaleco antibalas despu\u00e9s de una pu\u00f1alada o un impacto de bala. En caso de aviso, el dispositivo tambi\u00e9n transmite la geolocalizaci\u00f3n del personal.<\/p>\n
The innovative connected tactical vest project uses artificial intelligence (AI) for its abnormal-situation detection system and can transmit this warning to a command center via the internet of things (IoT). This innovation, applied to the operational needs of various law-enforcement professions, is the first result of a partnership between France\u2019s General Directorate of the National Gendarmerie (DGGN) and Wearin\u2019, the Swiss technology group Conextivity\u2019s startup.<\/p>\n
The new\u00a0tactical IoT solution<\/a>, which attaches to pre-installed body armor, ensures redundant safety and connectivity through a state-of-the-art AI-enhanced warning device that is independent of current radio systems. Called the Wearin’ Brain, this ruggedized device is triggered either manually by an SOS button, or automatically when it detects an abnormal situation such as loss of verticality, piercing of the body armor cover after a stab wound or a bullet impact. In the event of a warning, the device also transmits the geolocation of personnel.<\/p>\n The connectivity kit features smart power management via a central high-performance battery guaranteeing eight hours of autonomy, which considerably increases the running time of gendarmes\u2019 electronic equipment. The kit’s optimized cabling allows equipment to be recharged via a single cable, which the agent can easily connect at the end of a mission, or to his\/her vehicle if required during an extended mission.<\/p>\n The Wearin’ Brain, the Wearin\u2019 Battery and its quick-release system are integrated ergonomically into the vest via MOLLE fasteners and heavy-duty multifunctional pouches with no snagging areas. The kit also features luminous fibers integrated into the front and back of the vest offering personnel on night operations the option of enhanced visibility.<\/p>\n The IoT solution called Wearin’ X DGGN Smart Tactical Vest has been designed with an open, modular architecture that keeps the interoperability of current and future systems in focus. Over the course of the partnership, it will be able to evolve and adapt to meet the operational needs of law-enforcement agencies, which vary according to the different types of intervention by gendarmes, national or municipal police officers, or customs agents.<\/p>\n The IoT platform developed by Wearin’ can be delivered with a dashboard integrated into the command-center system to provide real-time information about the situation on the ground, via data from sensors, warning devices and communication systems worn by personnel on operations. Based on this precise intelligence of operations underway, transmitted in bidirectional streams, commanders can speed up tactical decision-making and improve the coordination of intervention units, as well as their response times.<\/p>\n Signed in November 2023, the innovation partnership between Wearin’ and the DGGN is supported by the French Ministry of the Armed Forces’ Defense Innovation Agency and the National Gendarmerie\u2019s Transformation Department.<\/p>\n Officially unveiled at the Milipol show in Paris in November 2023, the connected tactical vest from Wearin’ and the DGGN will be showcased on the international stage at the\u00a0World Police Summit<\/a>\u00a0in Dubai, March 5-7, 2024, on Wearin’ stand no. SS2 A32. The vest has also been shortlisted by the show’s jury to compete for the prestigious World Police Summit Awards in the Innovative Police Force category.<\/p>\n
