Australian company GME has developed, and is trialling, a wearable Heat Risk Monitor for the ADF in the Northern Territory; enabling real-time soldier heat stress tracking to improve safety, readiness, and decision-making.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand how real-time wearable monitoring technologies enhance soldier safety and operational performance in extreme environments.
  • Examine the role of sovereign innovation in addressing environmental and physiological challenges in Defence operations.
  • Assess how data-driven systems improve command decision-making and force preservation during high-risk training or deployment conditions.
