AID Protects Military, Special Forces & Infantry

Automatic Injury Detection (AID) provides warfighter safety, wellness and overmatch, and ensures a more decisive rapid coordinated medical and tactical response with no user input required.

The Automatic Injury Detection (AID) system provides help in seconds when the sensing panel has been pierced by a bullet, knife, or shrapnel. The AID panel sends an automated emergency alert with location to ATAK and the military radio network. The automated emergency alert helps save lives. Once the sensor is penetrated a warfighter often needs to fight, fall back, or they are incapacitated and unable to send a request for immediate help. AID drastically improves response time so the warfighter can get the medical attention and/or the tactical backup they need.

AID makes it far safer to be a warfighter and increases warfighters’ confidence that they will get the fastest medical aid possible. It also eases the family’s mind that their beloved warfighter will return home after service and shows the military cares about them and their individual safety.
