Secure UWB Toolkit for Enroute Combat Casualty Care Wireless Communication

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) possesses advantages in security (encryption, LPI/LPD, and jamming), connectivity (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint) and performance (data rates, user density, and simultaneous connections) that are ideal for Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) applications. In order to facilitate and accelerate the integration of Starixs UWB technology into existing and new products (physiological sensors, smartphones, medical equipment, network adapters, tactical radios, etc.) supporting military medical applications (TCCC store and forward, vitals monitoring, telemonitoring, autonomous operations, and command & control), Starix proposes to develop a secure UWB developer toolkit with a set of pilot products and applications software to illustrate its use. The general adoption of the UWB toolkit will ensure the security and compatibility with the Enroute Combat Casualty Care network.
