COMMAND AND CONTROL

The command and control process step combines reconnaissance on the one hand with effects on the other. In order to ensure level- and situation-appropriate command, it is necessary to determine the situation without delay and to always have an up-to-date situational picture (situational awareness). Only then can the commander at a command post draw the right conclusions for the current situation and further battle planning. For this, all information must be filtered accordingly and presented clearly.

ESG's software solutions can significantly accelerate this process and at the same time reduce (human) sources of error. Blue force tracking, for example, can be used to reliably display the position of friendly forces and thus significantly reduce the probability of friendly fire. Enemy messages can be reported digitally throughout and thus minimise or exclude errors, such as incorrect coordinates in voice radio.

In high-intensity conflicts, the mobility of land forces must be significantly increased. In addition to reducing deployment times and efforts, modern command and control approaches, such as video telephony, must also be taken into account. Today, a command post must not only be capable of commanding national forces, but the inclusion of international allied forces must also be ensured. This leads to challenges, especially in communication and interoperability. 

Our command post systems and mobile IT systems support the command and control of a command post with up-to-date and relevant information, which leads to improved situational awareness and ensures information supply and communication. We integrate modern and future-proof solutions without neglecting customer requirements. We offer solutions ranging from command and control software to IT equipment and holistic command and control infrastructure, whether in deployable containers or in combat vehicles.
