Systematic team supports British Army’s digital lethality project

Systematic team delivers digital command centre for Project ASGARD

The British Army’s recent Project ASGARD demonstration received a boost from SitaWare’s command picture capabilities, helping to deliver a common operational picture (COP) and common intelligence picture (CIP) to operators.

During the demonstration, SitaWare Headquarters acted as the digital command centre for the Army, bringing together data from a wide array of AI-enabled sensors and presenting it on a single pane of glass for rapid decision-making. This helped to enable commanders during the demonstration to have critical information at their fingertips when making targeting decisions and deploying effects in support of friendly forces.

SitaWare Headquarters’ ability to fuse and display data from a variety of sensors in a COP gives commanders an extensive understanding of the battlefield, with data synchronised regularly to support the CIP. SitaWare Headquarters’ red-picture generation capabilities also allows for easier dissemination of intelligence to battlespace users at all levels of command. 

The SitaWare suite’s ability deliver data through a variety of interoperability standards meant that intelligence could be readily delivered around the command environment to ensure that the right information could be delivered to the right people at the right time.

“I’ve been really pleased to support Project ASGARD with the British Army. Working closely with industry partners like Helsing and Esri we’ve delivered tangible capability gains in a remarkably short period,” said Paul Cocker, Senior Solution Architect with Systematic Defence.

“Our ability to integrate with others, as well as provide a holistic overview through a COP, means that commanders have an overview they can trust. Our work with market-leading AI organisations, like Helsing, allows our users to know that their workflows and procedures are at the bleeding edge, and that our solutions are future-proofed as users bring them online,” Cocker added.

The British Army’s plan for Project ASGARD is to allow the exploitation of AI and novel communications networks to provide rapid targeting and decision-support to personnel. First announced in 2024, ASGARD forms part of the work to create a wider digital targeting web across the UK’s Armed Forces by 2027.
