BattleHawk Combat Management System
BattleHawk Combat Management System (CMS) provides a fully integrated Situation Awareness (SA) and C4I capability for fighting troops and platforms from Brigade down to the soldiers in the field.
BattleHawk CMS has a series of input/output ports to enable data gathering from a diverse range of sensors. Internal map analysis, GPS and DMC provide the basis for an accurate navigation mode. Dead reckoning and other navigational aids are fully integrated to suit the specific requirements of the end user.
BattleHawk CMS, Command System, Vehicle Platform and Infantry Digital Soldier System (IDSS) and WaveHawk Naval Combat Management System use common software. The use of a generic BattleHawk software package facilitates software maintenance and upgrades, guaranteeing robust interoperability between software systems and hardware configurations in a multilingual format.
