Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Systematic has launched the latest version of its mounted combat C2 system in the form of SitaWare Frontline 3.0.
‘The new system meets the challenges of the modern battlespace, with a range of features that deliver an operational advantage to commanders,’ Denmark-based Systematic announced on 5 February.
The new system introduces a range of enhancements over the in-service SitaWare Frontline, with features that are designed to improve situational awareness for commanders.
SitaWare Frontline 3.0 has a new self-contained map engine that supports multiple map types in 2D and 3D format. The terrain analysis tools include the ability to display area-of-sight and LoS, among other functions.
Plans and orders, including sketches and text, can be composed directly on an electronic map with Frontline 3.0. These can be shared via tactical radio networks – both IP and non-IP. A new waypoint-based route navigation and planning feature has also been introduced.
‘The new mapping system, comprehensive force tracking, and geospatial tools deliver a rich picture of the human and physical terrain,’ said Jesper Annexgaard, Product Manager for SitaWare Frontline.
