Google Earth system

The sensors used for monitoring the movement and position of soldiers are based on GPS, MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) accelerometers and in some cases gyroscopes. These elements could be placed as small pockets on textiles for wearable applications (Zephyr, 2010). The mounting of these devices on flexible structures needs optimisation for comfort, robusmess and proper functioning. The position of soldiers may be detected and displayed by a graphic interface, such as that based on Google Earth software. The boots worn by soldiers can also be fitted with sensors to detect their position and measure their movement.
