Lithuanian IFVs to get SitaWare Frontline
Systematic’s SitaWare Frontline C2 solution has been selected for integration across the Lithuanian land forces’ fleet of future armoured vehicles, the company announced on 9 August.
Sitaware Frontline will be installed on the 88 Boxer infantry fighting vehicles - designated Vilkas - being procured from the German-Dutch ARTEC industrial group. The IFVs will be delivered in four different configurations: squad, platoon, company commander and command post, through to 2021.
SitaWare Frontline provides force tracking information and an automatically updated situational awareness picture that shows the position of forces, danger areas, points of interest and intelligence on an enemy. The system also provides tactical chat, support for high performance mapping and the ability to make and display plans directly on a touchscreen interface. SitaWare Frontline can be integrated on both vehicles and at forward-deployed infrastructure.
