Abstract
The work reported here explores and assesses the benefits of deployed BSNs for bomb disposal mission critical monitoring, in terms of: providing detailed physiological profiles of operatives; supporting on-line, realtime extraction of accurate human thermal sensation estimates based on multiple sensor measurements; reporting of useful information rather than data to a remote station, thus enabling rapid assessment of hazardous situations; supporting automated control of cooling systems commonly integrated with armoured suits; and providing alerts to both operatives and remote monitors. BSNs deployed in this manner must be both robust and reliable in order to fulfil the safety critical requirements of the application. The paper describes and evaluates a fully functional prototype instrumentation system which complies with these requirements.
