The development of a real time surveillance system for Forces on duty areas is one of the 5 initiatives of the November 2002 Prague’s NATO meeting. The French Military Health Service has decided to implement a military demonstrator within Forces in operations in a tropical area. This military prototype has three main objectives : i) to study the feasability of real time surveillance system within Forces in operations ii) to evaluate the benefit of such a system and iii) to develop a interoperable system for NATO. This French real time system has been developped by a multidisciplinary team, with military people but also with civilian experts from Pasteur Institute and Mediterranean University of Marseille.
Objective
This paper describes the new real time surveillance system, which has been installed within the French Forces in French Guiana.
