Battlefield Management System "HEKTOR"

BMS HEKTOR

The “HEKTOR” Battle Management System (BMS) application is a fully mobile command system (operating both while moving and while stationary) installed primarily on command vehicles (or staff terminals). It creates a wide data-exchange network operating at every command level of the ZT. It is intended for functional personnel of command cells (commander, chief of staff, etc.) to provide them with the ability to command forces and freely move within the area of operations. It enables situational awareness on the battlefield. It also allows displaying the positions of own forces and the enemy on a digital map.

Key features:

display of digital maps and the current tactical situation

execution of command functions at all tactical echelons

IP platform

integration of media: radio (VHF, UHF, DS), wired communication, and satellite communication

integration of services (IP-based, VoIP H.323)

full interoperability with NATO: MIP interface (DEM, MEM, AdatP-3), LC2IEDM data model

for implementation on every means of transport and on staff terminals

open system architecture: cooperation with all standardized IT systems

Planning and management subsystem

  • hierarchical nature

  • local and remote configuration of the system—for example, foreign missions

  • system monitoring

communications subsystem

  • use of all available communication media

  • KF/VHF radio links between subscribers of digital and analogue telecommunications networks

  • connections with subscribers of the JRS (Jednokanałowego Radiodostępu Simpleksowego) and WRS (Wielokanałowego Radiodostępu Simpleksowego) UKF subsystems

  • voice communications and data exchange between wired subscribers (STORCZYK, ISDN, H.323) and radio subscribers on HF and VHF.

Data exchange subsystem

the individual command vehicles of a combat formation are communication nodes that automatically retransmit information from the sender to the recipient (over all media)

automatic data exchange: searching for message delivery routes across all communication media

implementation of MEM and DEM mechanisms of the MIP program

Command, control and monitoring subsystem

  • display of reconnaissance information on digital maps from automated workplaces of functional personnel
  • separation of command and communications functions: the commander is not absorbed by communications matters
  • the ability to command “two echelons down”
  • the ability to take over and transfer command to another functional person
  • authorized exchange of combat documents
  • cooperation with the SZAFRAN ZT system, provision of information from the ZT database systems
  • autonomous execution of command functions in all phases of tactical operations, from a single soldier up to the ZT Division echelon
  • collection of information and dynamic display of the tactical situation
  • displaying the tactical situation on a digital map together with the current location of the command vehicle based on the GPS system
  • positioning of combat formation elements for real-time display of the combat situation
  • transmission and preparation of command documents (group work)
  • transmission of NBC alarms and critical information
  • graphic work on a multi-layer map
  • planning tactical operations
  • exchange of logistic information
  • transmission of images
  • automated general-purpose reconnaissance functions: reporting detected targets
  • automated engineering reconnaissance functions: information collection and reporting - TUJA
  • electronic warfare control functions (jamming) - PRZEBIŚNIEG, PROCJON, BREŃ
  • routing information to fire-control systems (TOPAZ, AZALIA, LOARA)

BMS HEKTOR has implemented the following NATO regulations and standards:

  • CADRG

    terrain elevation model

  • VMap, UVMap

    vector digital maps

  • STANAG 5500 (AdatP-3)

    a formalized command language

  • APP-6A

    graphical depiction of the combat situation on a map

  • STANAG 2014

    document format - command document templates

  • STANAG 5066

    data transmission in radio networks

  • S57

    maritime maps standard

Universal vehicle infrastructure

  • a unified, scalable hardware solution from combat vehicles to staff vehicles

  • Automated Workstations for Functional Personnel

  • integration of all communications media - priority given to radio (emphasis on mobility)

  • integration of all communications media - priority given to radio (emphasis on mobility)

  • individual wireless communication for the vehicle crew (dismounted team)

  • automatic control and management of all ZWD communications media

  • individual wireless communication for the vehicle crew

  • Notification and signaling of hazardous states originating from sensors: carbon monoxide (CO) sensor, smoke (DYM), contamination with chemical agents (CHEM), radioactive contamination (RAD), and a system for signaling laser irradiation (SOL-1)
