The development of physical state and exhaustion factors monitoring system with capability of collecting, estimating and analysing data for military personnel

Abstract

The purpose of the research analysis of known invasive and non-invasive examination methods, determination of the necessary criteria for assessing the degree of fatigue of submariners, a survey of Navy personnel involved in service on submarine ships was conducted, on the basis of which a justification of research directions was carried out for the subsequent development of a system for collecting, evaluating and analyzing the physiological state and factors affecting the fatigue of military personnel.Methods: the use of an experimental non-invasive research method to determine the degree of fatigue and physiological condition of submariners based on three criteria during the month, the analysis of the results obtained, the establishment of a comparative analysis method during the development, a structural analysis of the system based on previously known devices and sensors.Results. The dependence of the studied indicators on the time of watch keeping and their connection with the increase in fatigue were found. It has been established that in order to develop a system for monitoring the fatigue of submariners, a systematic analysis and objective assessment should be carried out, including: determination of methods for monitoring the condition of military personnel; application of knowledge from medicine, physiology, biophysics, biomechanics, bioengineering, electronics, circuitry and programming, to develop effective methods for monitoring physical condition and fatigue. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign techniques and devices, a proprietary method for implementing a system for collecting assessments, analyzing the physiological state and factors affecting the fatigue of military personnel is proposed.Conclusion. It is concluded that it is necessary to conduct non-invasive studies of the degree of fatigue, before proposing the development and proposal of its own device and methodology for assessing the degree of fatigue, capable of implementing individual features of the system for operational monitoring in order to improve combat readiness, situational awareness, health, safety, mobility of submariners.The development of such monitoring systems and devices is necessary in the modern world to prevent or prevent disasters without reducing the efficiency of submariners.
