INTRA-ARMOUR VITALS MONITORING SYSTEM (IAVMS)
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To provide a means of tracking vitals of troops.
- Image Source: X
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: New Imperial Order
- Affiliation: New Imperial Order
- Market Status: Open-Market
- Model: IAVMS-3
- Modularity: No
- Production: Minor
- Material: Plastoid, electronics
- Information can be accessed by allies with HUD systems.
- Integrated into armour.
- Vitals can provide insight as to what kind of distress a person is in.
- Sends distress alerts to medics.
- Measures the 4 vital signs of life: heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and respiratory rate.
- Information is automatically shared to a monitor on a designated command ship, military base or anywhere else designated.
- Works in conjunction with bacta and stim auto-injectors to preserve life when vitals drop below a certain level.
- Military grade equipment so it is difficult to hack into.
- Information can be falsified if armour is removed or severely damaged.
- Data transmitted to monitors or allies can be disrupted.
- Information can only be shared within a certain range of the user - usually within the same system.
- Can be used independently but should be used in conjunction with life-preserving measures (auto-injectors/medics) to provide individual benefit to troops.
The IAVMS, or colloquially the VMS, was developed as a means of monitoring the vitals of troops for the purpose of preserving life when an individual is determined to be in distress and so commanding officers are privy to the success of their operations on the battlefield as information can be transmitted elsewhere. If it is evident that many troops are being lost then plans can be altered accordingly.
The system is integrated into armour at several focal points including the front inside of the helmet, inside wrist and upper arm to provide as accurate readings as possible. In armour systems with auto-injectors, the VMS can be connected so life-preserving medication can be administered when deemed medically necessary. While it may not save a soldier's life, it can at least prolong their life while they get medical assistance.
The monitoring system itself cannot prolong life unless in conjunction with auto-injectors and other medical assistance. Its main use in the field is to determine who requires assistance and who is beyond help and survivors will be flagged to medics accordingly. If the wearer shows no signs of life then nothing else can be done for them and they will not be flagged for medical attention.
Off the battlefield, it is used to determine the success of an operation and allows military commanders a more intimate insight into the status of their troops so appropriate orders can be given dependant on the real-time situation on the battlefield.
