EADS DS Delivers Army Command And Control Information System To Franco-German Brigade
Paris, France (SPX) Feb 13, 2008 EADS Defence and Security (DS) handed over the system software for the state-of-the-art, digital Army Command and Control Information System (FuInfoSyS H) at the Franco-German Brigade site in Mullheim, Germany, to the Head of the Modernisation Department in the Federal Ministry of Defence. Under contract to the Federal Office for Information Management and Information Technology of the Bundeswehr, DS developed the system software for this and delivered other hardware components. FuInfoSys H is a tailored command and control information system for units of the Army. An important element is the graphically displayed situational picture, which is modified to the respective command levels. This information on own and enemy forces ensures a flexible and efficient command of national and multinational combined joint operations. The system's modular structure and scalability allows it to be used in both command posts and combat vehicles. An integrated touch screen interface is provided for application in combat vehicles. The user interface can be changed to English for international operations. "The Army Command and Control Information System is a decisive prerequisite for information superiority with the aid of state-of-the-art equipment. We are pleased to be able to make an important contribution to network enhanced capabilities, in which we are an important systems supplier of military information technology, a field in which we will continue to act as a trailblazer," says Franz Peraus, Head of Mission Systems and Solutions, a Defence and Communications Systems Line of Business. Several field trials have proven that the system can also cover the new mission tasks of the Bundeswehr. This is mainly because the system was developed in close cooperation with the future user. This ensured that user requirements were met and future users would accept the system - while at the same time enhancing the efficiency of system implementation. The introduction of the first batch of FuInfoSys H represents an enormous step forward in the expansion and modernisation of the equipment for the German Army's command posts and centres. FuInfoSys H was designed for interoperability, either by being networked with Alliance partners or in a network with the different branches of the German Armed Forces. As the lead project, the functionality of the FuInfoSys H will be provided in future to all the different branches of the Armed Forces with corresponding system extensions.
