Collaborative Combat in Modern Warfare
Modern military battles are rapidly evolving to a point where a unified combat machine, comprising soldiers, platforms, and sensors, operates in complete synergy and real-time coordination. The power of real-time information has become paramount, ensuring that a military force stays ahead to secure victory. By leveraging existing technologies that fuse soldiers, vehicles, and sensors into a singular warfighting instrument, complete synergy in operations is achieved, setting the stage for collaborative combat.
Tactical Advantages of Collaborative Combat for Land Forces
For land forces, collaborative combat provides a critical on-the-ground tactical advantage. By interconnecting combat vehicles and combined arm units, along with their sensors and effectors, real-time information sharing is enabled, drastically reducing the time from threat detection to neutralization to mere seconds. This approach combines vetronics, optimised firepower, smart sensors, and software-defined radio, empowering forces to engage in collaborative protection, observation, and engagement.
Next-Generation Solutions for Military Vehicles
Thales introduces the next generation of situational awareness sensors and self-protection systems that significantly enhance the survivability of vehicles and their crews. The Combat Digital Platform, a cutting-edge combat and command system, provides intelligent services for collaborative combat from brigade level down to dismounted soldiers. Tactical levels benefit from combat cloud services, incorporating distributed processing and artificial intelligence to expedite decision-making.
Intelligent Platforms for Multi-Domain Operations
With collaborative combat, armoured combat vehicles, when integrated with UAVs/UGVs and air support, transform into intelligent platforms tailored to support multi-domain operations. Thales leverages its expertise in military vehicle solutions to enhance operational capabilities, ensuring that armed forces operate efficiently and effectively in various environments and combat scenarios.
