Abstract
Warfighters often experience high rates of stress, resulting in the degradation of their health and performance. While Wearable systems can monitor warfighter data, they must integrate into existing tactical networks without compromising network function. We extended our existing Wearables Model-Based System Engineering – System Architecture (MBSE-SA) to include a bandwidth simulation to analyze the effects wearable systems have on overall network function specifically for military use cases.
