Devices and gadgets that help our special forces have always been a good welcome if it saves lives and helps them immensely, so we have got great hope for a new device setup devised by Thales UK is an advanced GPS module. This GPS module is a digital magnetic compass and microprocessor which has a fully ruggedized display which will give a near enough near real time situational awareness information.

The GPS Module named MILTRAK will equip soldiers with a brilliant portable display which looks pretty standard really but this little beauty displays the position of similarly equipped friendly forces overlaid on a relational display, geo-referenced aerial photograph, raster map. Therefore soldiers in battle can share routes and follow routes which will help keep platoons running astray.
