European Defence Fund: Guardiaris leads the ABITS project

By Defence Industry Europe

The ABITS (Advanced Biometrics In Training Solutions) research project funded by the European Defence Fund (EDF) has been launched. The works of the international consortium are led by the Slovenian company Guardiaris, the project coordinator.

According to the European Commission, the ABITS project will develop an in-door tactical training solution that integrates data driven, physiological sensor based, quantification of performance, wellbeing and analytics in the training-simulation loop. It will capture and quantify trainee’s psychophysical state, e.g. attention, stress, cognitive load, based on non-invasive physiological sensors integrated into training and simulation environment.

The estimated total cost of the project is EUR 2.4 million, and the maximum contribution from the European Defence Fund may reach EUR 2.2 million.

Apart from the Guardiaris, which is the leader of the project, the consortium includes two others companies: Smartex (Italy) and ViewPointSystem (Austria).

“We are excited to launch this innovative project and bring advanced biometrics to military training and simulation,” said Primož Peterca, CEO of Guardiaris. “By using non-invasive physiological sensors, we can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of trainees’ performance and help them achieve their full potential on the battlefield,” he added.

The ABITS development project will create an indoor tactical training solution with integrated data-driven performance indicators. This training-simulation loop will gather data from physiological sensors, assess trainee well-being through performance quantification, and provide analytics. It will capture and quantify a trainee’s psychophysical state, such as attention, stress, and cognitive load, using non-invasive physiological sensors integrated within the training and simulation environment, the company said.

Guardiaris is a highly innovative company specialised in developing and producing custom-designed indoor and outdoor simulators for military, law enforcement and civilian customers. It is continuously improving its proprietary simulation software and various patented technologies and solutions in the training and simulation industry. Dedicated team of inhouse experts has been providing customers with tailor-made solutions and hands-on support for over 16 years.
