Latest NewsFebruary 2006ST Electronics Launches Singapore, 20 February 2006 — ST Electronics today launched the Integrated Combat Management System (ICOMS), an integrated combat management system that will enable Forces to fight effectively in an integrated knowledge-based battlefield environment. With the integration of analog and digital data sources through a proliferation of devices, ICOMS is able to provide commanders with data for planning, collaboration, situation awareness to enable accurate decision-making. ICOMS applies cutting edge technologies to achieve full interoperability from command centres to ground units endowing them with multi-sensor intelligence, situation awareness, and next generation collaborative and C2 (command and control) tools. The system supports agile distributed operations, independent or joint operations environment where the military, police and civil defence agencies may work together, such as in disaster recovery or anti-terrorist operations. Users include mechanised forces, urban combat forces, homeland security units, as well as emergency and rescue services. ICOMS comprises two key components:
Mobile C4I System (MCS)MCS design features will result in shorter sensor-to-shooter timelines. The MCS design provides for sense-making visualisation, decision support, imagery input, distributed data management, collaborative tools and visualisation, agile networking, intelligent messaging, process tracking and assets visibility. MCS’ innovative connectivity architecture and application overcome difficult spatial and environmental challenges. For Operation Planning, MCS’ real-time collaborative planning function offers information sharing, instant messaging and whiteboard functionality. Two or more distributed users on MCS can participate simultaneously in the mission planning process and coordinate their actions on the ground. Plans can be disseminated to mobile users in real-time. This includes dissemination of a situational scene-of-action mosaic map to support mobile devices, common view of planning processes, and all round visibility of the scenes-of-action. Advanced ad-hoc networks provide high throughput and reliable message exchanges in dynamic network topology. This solution enables future data communications needs for manned and unmanned platforms. Integrated Communications System (ICS)ICS allows various forms of voice and data communications. ICS uses Internet Protocol (IP) and Voice over IP as the common protocol for integrating heterogeneous systems into a common seamless communication grid. It is capable of integrating various voice (e.g. GSM, PMR, VHF and HF radios) and data means (e.g. LAN, WLAN, SATCOMS, TCS and data radio). Visitors to ST Electronics’ booth in Asian Aerospace 2006 will experience a demonstration of these exciting features of ICOMS on screens, PDAs and other display technologies when they visit the ST Electronics booth at the show between 21 and 26 February 2006.
