The innovative connected tactical vest project uses artificial intelligence (AI) for its abnormal-situation detection system and can transmit this warning to a command centre via the Internet of Things (IoT). This innovation, applied to the operational needs of various law-enforcement professions, is the first result of a partnership between France's General Directorate of the National Gendarmerie (DGGN) and Wearin', the Swiss technology group Conextivity’s startup.
The new tactical IoT solution, which attaches to pre-installed body armour, ensures redundant safety and connectivity through a state-of-the-art AI-enhanced warning device that is independent of current radio systems. Called the Wearin' Brain, this ruggedised device is triggered either manually by an SOS button, or automatically when it detects an abnormal situation such as loss of verticality, piercing of the body armour cover after a stab wound, or a bullet impact. In the event of a warning, the device also transmits the geolocation of personnel.
