German Armed Forces receive digital medical command & control system from Systematic

COLOGNE, GERMANY, 28 OCTOBER 2026

Systematic has completed the development phase of SitaWare Battlefield Health and delivered the software to the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) as planned. The system will form the basis of SAFES (Sanitätsdienstliches Führungs- und Einsatzsystem), the Bundeswehr’s medical command and control system, supporting the coordination of medical evacuations throughout operations.

The software solution was demonstrated to the Bundeswehr Medical Command yesterday, marking a further milestone in the digitalisation of the German Armed Forces’ medical service. 

SitaWare Battlefield Health is an add-on to Systematic’s SitaWare Suite; its C5ISR software used by NATO and more than 50 nations to plan and manage military operations. 

Within the German Armed Forces, SitaWare is planned to be implemented across all domains. Battlefield Health adds a medical component to the Mission Enabling Service Bundeswehr (MESBw) software ecosystem, designed to support command and control at all levels. The programme was first announced in October 2025.

The solution will cover the entire tactical chain of evacuation. At tactical level, patients are initially documented, transport requests handled and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) missions coordinated. At command level, emergency medical data, patient management and tracking come together in a Recognized Medical Picture (RMedP). Integrated into the common operational picture, it provides information on resource requirements and availability, supporting operational planning and reporting. In practice, this supports continuity of care by ensuring everyone involved, from the casualty collection point to admission to a Medical Treatment Facility, works from the same up-to-date information. The software will use the Bundeswehr’s existing infrastructure and command and control systems.

Medical processes and modern, digital command of operations will be closely linked. With SitaWare Battlefield Health, Systematic strengthens emergency medical care for soldiers, in line with the demands of national and collective defence.
