Situational awareness system

Abstract

Mobility has become a basic premise of communications, thereby requiring a native integration into wifi and 3G/4G networks. Despite the numerous efforts to propose and to standardize effective mobility management models through secure channels, the result is a complex, hack-able, poorly flexible set of mechanisms which, if used by the military personnel for classified data can end up making the operation vulnerable and putting everyone at risk. The natural support for mobility offered by SAS makes it a good candidate to define a radically new solution relieving limitations of traditional approaches for navigation in unknown location by the military. The project aims at developing an android application for the purpose of data collection. The application uses the OSM (Open Street Maps) tiles which are stored in the device. The tiles are loaded once the application starts. The administrator logs in to the system and has the authority to add, delete and edit details of the system. The users log in as guests and can only search for locations and view their location descriptions. The current location is displayed on the map as the application starts.
