Dismount is used to track position of an individual and programming a robot to follow it. Use of the Human Odometer project is also trying to be implemented in conjunction with this project. The VTI soldier version of Dismount also has a streaming video application included which implements hardware decoding and software encoding on a Pocket PC PDA.
