German Army expand digital C2 to all levels – with SitaWare Edge
As part of their digital transformation, the German Armed Forces have signed a contract with Systematic to equip their dismounted personnel with the world-leading command and control software SitaWare Edge.
The acquisition of the enterprise license marks another important milestone within the Bundeswehr’s Mission Enabling Service (MESBw) – the unified software ecosystem designed to support command at all levels.
SitaWare Edge will be deployed in the ‘Portable’ variant of the MESBw, complementing ‘Command Post’ (SitaWare Headquarters) and ‘Mounted’ (SitaWare Frontline); tactical areas in which the software has already been successfully implemented and operationally proven.
Together, these capabilities enable seamless digital command-and-control – from stationary or deployable command posts, through vehicle-based systems, to dismounted forces, providing everyone with a full situational awareness of planning and operations.
The acquisition also includes the associated Software Development Kits (SDKs), providing the foundation for an open C4ISR ecosystem - which allows for 3rd party integrations, to meet the individual requirements of the Bundeswehr.
Trusted digitalisation partner
''We are proud that the Bundeswehr continues to rely on Systematic as a trusted partner in their ongoing digital transformation. The introduction of SitaWare Edge is another important step, delivering our software capabilities to the very frontline.''
– Sven Trusch, Managing Director of Systematic’s German subsidiary
Command and Control for the tactical edge
SitaWare Edge brings several decisive advantages to the tactical level. It provides commanders on the ground with comprehensive situational awareness and intuitive mission management tools, enabling them to stay focused on the mission rather than the system. By relying on the proven SitaWare tactical communications protocols, it ensures that vital battlefield information is shared seamlessly under all conditions, improving tempo and enhancing safety. And with advanced planning and mapping capabilities available, SitaWare Edge helps shorten the decision cycle – giving commanders the ability to act faster and outmanoeuvre the adversary.
The SitaWare Suite
SitaWare is the operationally proven C4ISR solution that delivers superior tactical communication, unmatched interoperability, seamless collaborative planning and comprehensive situational awareness across the battlespace.
As an advanced C4ISR application, it allows all levels of command and all domains to exchange vital information and extensive plans within own, coalition, and joint battle networks.
SitaWare is used by more than 50 countries worldwide and is a trusted force multiplier. Its proven ability unites armed services and ensures efficient communications and decision-making from the command right to the tactical edge.
