Land Forces 2014 Exhibition:
Elbit Systems to Present Solutions for Enabling and Integrating the Future Land Force

At the upcoming Land Forces Exhibition set to take place in Brisbane, Australia from September 22-25, 2014, Elbit Systems will feature an impressive line-up of next-generation systems and solutions to enable and integrate the future Land Force for the Australian Defence Force. Visitors to the Company booth (#1P19) can view a wide range of cutting edge solutions answering the modern battlefield’s demands for connectivity, interoperability and Network Centric Warfare (NCW) concepts. Most of all, these solutions fully integrate and network all land platforms and systems to enable them to react with significantly greater speed, precision and intelligence as a unified force.

Accurate situational awareness allows for quick coordination and effective responses to rapidly changing operational scenarios. To achieve this requires advanced technologies involving the latest hardware and software. Leveraging in-house development of underlying technologies, products, platforms and systems, Elbit Systems has developed extensive experience in designing, developing and integrating these technologies into future land digitisation programs around the world. Our systems employ a tactical building-block approach to link various applications and levels of command implementing advanced NCW concepts. Configurations comprise tactical computers, digital maps, message-handling systems, electro optics, surveillance radars, ground sensors, EW systems, remote weapons stations, advanced radio communications, tactical modems and routers. This is in addition to specific components developed for customer-specific needs. We also provide software infrastructure and applications for mobile and airborne platforms, for the individual soldier, and headquarters Command and Control (C2) applications.
Based on these core technology building blocks, we offer our customers comprehensive integrated solutions of C4I for land forces at all levels. The systems process, manage and present massive amounts of data arriving from various sources into a user-friendly format.

The following will be on display in the Elbit Systems’ Company booth:

A major highlight of Elbit Systems’ exhibition will be a demonstration of two major capabilities that will enable and integrate the future land force:

• The Current and Evolving ADF Battle Management Systems (ADF BMS-C2) that will “enable and integrate the future Land Force”

• The Chauvel AFV integrated Fighting Systems (CAFS) that “fully integrates the ADF-BMS-C2 network and equipment with a next generation fighting vehicle’s sensors and systems

BMS-C2
The first demonstration features combined mission awareness in a scenario that depicts the current and evolving ADF BMS-C2 – It combines C3 (command, control, communications), sensors, Intelligence and integrated weapons into a unified system. The demonstration will focus on a full spectrum of Elbit Systems’ solutions, which answer the ADF BMS-C2 challenge of performing complex, synchronized missions.

The following systems and products will be highlighted in the ADF BMS-C2 demo:
• Battle Management Systems – Dismounted (BMS-D) Current and Next Generation.
• Weapon Integrated BMS (WIN BMS)
• BMS Mounted (BMS-M)
• BMS-Headquarters (BMS-HQ)
• Tactical Radio and communication systems,
• Integrated ground sensors.

Command, Control and Computers
Elbit Systems’ advanced networked Battle Management Systems (BMS) delivers improved coordination and planning and rapid closure of the sensor-to-shooter loop. These systems provide all branches of the fighting force with enhanced situational awareness and mission-critical information. Advanced C4ISR solutions provide end-to- end, innovative and integrated systems to all operational levels. Autonomous C4I arrays that improve situation awareness enable full connectivity through any communication system and incorporate a variety of integrated sensors and weapon systems.

A powerful force multiplier, the ADF BMS-C2 connects and coordinates all land, air, and sea forces from the highest echelon HQs to the individual platform, sensor and soldier. BMS-C2 implements advanced combat concepts that increase operational effectiveness and connectivity throughout all echelons in all combat situations – under a unified operational doctrine.

TORC2H®: The All in One BMS Software
A Services Orientated Architecture (SOA) platform that is a collection of integrated software applications developed in collaboration with Elbit Systems and its digital army customers. TORC2H provides the user interface to the BMS and is built specifically to operate efficiently over narrow band tactical communication links. It covers all army branches and echelons, enabling universal situational awareness as well as in-depth collaborative mission planning and management based on real-time information and an always-updated Common Operational Picture (COP).

BMS-D: The Dismounted Infantry BMS solution
An integrated infantry combat system enabling full situational awareness from the infantry battalion level down to the individual fire team, platoon and company commander. Elements such as soldier Blue Force Tracking can also extend down to individual soldiers. BMS-D dramatically shortens the sensor-to-shooter loop, significantly improves situational awareness for the soldier/commander in the fight and greatly enhances the combat effectiveness of the dismounted soldier.

Weapon integrated Battle Management System (WinBMS) solution
WIN-BMS connects platform weapon systems to the BMS enabling rapid sensor to shoot loop closure. Targets are rapidly acquired, identified, shared and engaged with WIN-BMS. It can be deployed to all weapon based platforms including attack helicopters, tanks, AFVs and for all Remote Weapon Stations (RWS) and significantly increases the platforms lethality and survivability.

Communications and Radio Systems:

ELSAT2000E is a low profile, small footprint, lightweight, rugged bi-directional Tactical Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) Satellite-On-The-Move (SOTM) antenna.

Tadiran SDR-7200HH (Hand-Held) is a uniquely designed, lightweight system that offers simultaneous reliable voice & video or voice & data over a single narrowband tactical channel.
