MILTRAK GPS module
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.

The question is “Will the MILTRAK GPS module save the lives of soldiers?
