Command and control technology links variety of sensors, weapons.
Constant upgrades have readied an advanced Turkish air defense system for foreign sales. Developed as Turkey’s first fully digital command and control architecture, the technology interfaces with a variety of sensor and weapons platforms to provide operators with a real-time picture of the battlespace. The system can direct low-, medium- and high-level anti-aircraft systems as part of a layered defense network.
As military forces replace legacy equipment with digital technologies for weapons and sensor systems, it becomes increasingly important to connect these systems into coherent command and control networks. Many nations purchase foreign equipment to meet their defense requirements but have difficulty integrating this disparate hardware. A homogenous system capable of interoperating with diverse legacy materiel would be a valuable export item.
