The system was designed and manufactured by state-owned company IMBEL to enable faster responses on the battlefield by accelerating data handling and centralising missions of firing units under its operational control.
Earlier this month the Brazilian Army started deploying the Genesis fire control system. Also known as the Digitalised Field Artillery System (SISDAC in Portuguese) by the service, the solution was designed and manufactured by state-owned company IMBEL.
It was developed in partnership with the army’s artillery units aiming at providing precision and improving lethality for the service’s ground platforms.
Genesis/SISDAC’s features enable faster responses on the battlefield by accelerating data handling and centralising the missions of firing units under its operational control.
Speaking to Shephard, a spokesperson for IMBEL stressed that it meets the army’s fire support needs for infantry

“Timelines are measured in seconds”: tackling the UAS threat with dispersed defences
Small uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) have transformed the battlespace, posing a complex threat across all domains. Militaries now need counter-UAS (CUAS) capabilities that defeat the danger while meeting demands around readiness, manoeuvrability and adaptability, according to Mike Spina, Director, Global Sales and Business Development for Targeting and Sensor Systems (TSS) at L3Harris Technologies.
