Abstract

KRSE provides the capability to aid site exploitation both in real-time and post-mission. User position is tracked in real-time, with the results shown to soldiers. During a mission in a complex environment, it can be difficult to know areas that have and have not been searched without using markers of some sort. The geolocation sensors provide a new tool to help ensure the site is fully searched in a time-effective manner. Data is stored on an Android smart phone and displayed using the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) app. KRSE also includes a spectrometer that can identify some materials of interest. Even if the sensor cannot tell a user what the material is, the sensor can tell a soldier where the best spot to collect the sample is. When a soldier wants to collect a sample, he will retrieve the appropriate sampling package, which has a QR code attached to it. After collecting the sample, the QR code is scanned by the Android device, and metadata like position, time, pictures, video, etc, is linked inside of a database. During off-site analysis of the sample, the QR code can be scanned once more, where the metadata will be shown to analysts.
