C4I Systems

C4I – Introduction

Accurate situational awareness allows for quick coordination and effective responses to rapidly changing operational scenarios. Leveraging in-house development of underlying technologies, products, platforms and systems, Elbit Systems is a leading developer of innovative and comprehensive C4I systems for the full range of defense forces.

We have developed expertise in digitized battlefield C4I by applying advanced technologies in combination with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software packages. Our systems employ a tactical building-block approach to link various applications and levels of command implementing a net-centric concept. Configurations comprise tactical computers, digital maps, message handling systems, border surveillance, advanced communication controllers and modems as well as various components developed for customer-specific needs. We also provide software infrastructure and applications for mobile and airborne platforms, for the individual soldier, and for headquarters Command and Control (C2) applications. Based on these core technology building blocks, we offer our customers comprehensive integrated solutions of C4I for land forces at all levels.
The systems process, manage and present massive amounts of data arriving from various sources into a user-friendly format. We also provide a full range of simulators and customizable training programs.

Elbit Systems’ range of C4I solutions includes:

  • Computers: Tactical computing solutions suited to all applications and to all levels of fighting forces.
  • Communications: Complete tactical communication solutions that enable timely and relevant information dissemination to all facets of the force, from the individual soldier to vehicle commanders, deployed command posts and general headquarters. These communications solutions encompass radio, IP and satellite equipment and systems. Tactical internet is enabled by systems such as our Tactical Multimedia Router (Elbit TMR™), a unique military-grade triple-play IP routing solution for mobile and deployed command posts.
  • Intelligence: A range of sensors and systems for intelligence gathering as well as tools for processing and evaluation.
  • Command and Control: As part of the “total force” concept, we provide our customers with the capabilities to deploy land forces on a networked and joint basis, maximizing power and accuracy while minimizing the risk of friendly fire and collateral damage. These battle-proven, interconnected systems enable modern forces to synchronize their response with speed, precision and intelligence. Fully aware that advanced C4I is the key to coordinating an effective response to acts of terrorism, we have developed comprehensive netcentric solutions for Low Intensity Conflicts (LIC) by connecting intelligence data to combat forces via C4I systems and mobile C2 posts. Our Integrated Infantry Combat Systems (IICS) provide infantry units with C4ISR, field intelligence, urban warfare and peacekeeping capabilities. As part of our integrative systems, we offer Personal Combat Displays (PCD) and a broad range of UAS, mini-UAS, tactical observation aerostats, observation and intelligence vehicles, night-vision devices and lasers. These innovative, fully-integrated modular systems provide infantry soldiers with greater situational awareness, enhanced force coordination and a shortened sensor-to-shooter loop.
