ISMs utilize an innovative combination of:
Multiple external hardware devices, or sensors, can be simultaneously connected to an ISM. Typical interfaced devices include chemical, biological, and radiological detection systems.
The ISM's embedded software framework includes a store and forward mechanism guaranteeing message delivery, message authentication, privacy, and data integrity. In addition, an integrated ISM application loader supports simultaneous execution of multiple applications, including a device manager that monitors and controls connected detection systems.
