[001] Sensor4Xi Reliability ~ Military Sensor: ~ Simplicity
Simplicity
~ simplicity increases realibility
catch: ~[content] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[002] Sensor4Xi Reliability ~ Military Sensor: ~ Minimal maintenance
Minimal maintenance:
~ Sensors4Xi have been designed to be reliable; they are typically sent to remote locations
~ Xi normally drops sensors and without parachute; therefore sensors must be rugged!
catch: ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[003] Sensor4Xi Reliability ~ Military Sensor: ~ Spares
Spares:
~ only at carrier,military base or service base
~ not in the mission area
~ Base4Xi might store spares
~ Xi can drop new Sensors4Xi to relace faulty ones
catch: ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[004] Sensor4Xi Reliability ~ Military Sensor: ~ Sophistication
Sophistication:
~ Xi manages sensor locations; sensors do not have any GPS or other location devices
~ Xi manages sensor network; sensors no not communicate with each others
~ Base4Xi receives and processes sensor data which Xi collects from sensors
catch: ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[005] Sensor4Xi Reliability ~ Military Sensor: ~ Computer control
Computer control:
~ Xi controls sensors
~ Sensors4Xi focus on sensoring
~ Xi manages sensor networks and keeps track on sensor loations
~ communication to Base4Xi is handled by Xi, only Sensors4Xi arounf Base4Xi communicate with Base4Xi

[006] Sensor4Xi Reliability ~ Military Sensor: ~ Moving parts
Moving parts:
~ none

[007] Sensor4Xi Reliability ~ Military Sensor: ~ Testing & trials
Testing & trials:
~ several pilots and field tests
catch: ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[008] Sensor4Xi Reliability ~ Military Sensor: ~ Bullets
Bullets
~ Sensors4Xi can be dropped without parachute which decreases the propability that Xi is discovered
~ Xi makes sure dropping os sensors is safe
catch: ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[009] Sensor4Xi Reliability ~ Military Sensor: ~ Patching
Patching
~ Sensor4Xi is capable to receive software upgrades both from Xi (which dropped it) and Base4Xi (near Sensor4Xi)
catch: ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[010] Sensor4Xi Reliability ~ Military Sensor: ~ Temperature
Temperature
~ Sensor4Xi is designed to operate is harsh environments such dessert and mountains
catch: ~[content] ~[previous] ~[next]!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[011] Sensor4Xi Reliability ~ Military Sensor: ~ Sand Storm
Sand Storm
~ sandstorms and heavy rains are challenge; Xi can replace faulty Sensors4Xi
