THE OPERATIONAL challengePutting real-time voice, data, and videoat commanders’ fingertipsThe convergence of the Internet with high-bandwidth cellularcommunications makes it easy for teenagers to plan theirnext party at a moment’s notice. Unfortunately, terrorists,revolutionaries, drug lords, and military threats can utilize thesesame resources to make their plans. To counter the threats’ newcommunications capabilities, commanders must react more quicklythan ever before. This requires a secure, high-speed network andhighly specialized communications tools.The real-time dissemination of data (such as messaging) bothto and from the soldier and command and control facilities hasbecome an essential requirement on the military and homelanddefense battlefields. With soldiers now exchanging vast amountsof data within the tactical environment, enormous demands areplaced upon the deployed communications infrastructure.In addition, the video data that is becoming prevalent in manyapplication domains is creating a further need for wideband datadissemination from the soldier in the field to the commander atheadquarters. A real-time video capability, along with other toolsto support situational awareness and battle management, permitstimely and accurate decision-making based on the correlationof all relevant information. This also requires an infrastructurecapable of high bandwidth and low end-to-end data latency.Harris provides a solution to these critical needs with its CombatTeam ISR System. Our pre-engineered, integrated system providesreal-time voice, data, and video between front-line forces andtheir commanders for improved mission planning and execution.Situational awareness data such as the common operationalpicture (COP) also can be sent back down to deployed troops toincrease their effectiveness.The system can support a variety of missions ranging from borderpatrol activities to military applications such as combat operations,reconnaissance, and peacekeeping. In fact, this economicalsystem solution is effective across the breadth of scenarios thatgovernment forces might face where high-speed, low-latency,and secure data communication is crucial to successful and safemission execution.
