 Advanced
wireless communications integrated with command, control and
computer systems are combined with the IDF new Tactical Operational Command and
Control Headquarters system (TORC2H) deployed by the for
border security was integrated by Elbit Systems, unifying
sensors, security forces and
 command centers into the regional
security C2 system. The system utilizes C2 and GIS software
tools provided by ARCNet, to facilitate direct
wireless communications, over ToughBook PCs and PDAs, sharing situational picture and rapidly
transferring reports and decisions between commanders in Command Post and in
the filed, to and from forward elements. between sensors and field
units. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) displayed relevant
data with geographical features, over 3D or 2D
digital maps. It also supports virtual presentation of the target
and situation, as viewed by each of the different forces. TORC2H
uses vehicular mounted as well as dismounted, units, facilitating
continuous monitoring of situations via sensors images,
visualization of unit deployment, location and status, rapid and
transparent messaging of command, reports and situational reports,
etc. The system was selected by the IDF for border protection
command and control and is deployed along the lines separating the
Israeli and Palestinian authority controlled area.
Stand-alone command, control, communications, computers and
intelligence (C4I) network developed by Ness technologies is
already deployed by Special Operations units, including the Israel
Navy Special Forces (Naval Commandos). The system is an adaptation
of Ness technologies' Ness Control system running on laptop PCs
and PDAs enabling teams to prepare, distribute and receive live
videos, images and digital maps from sensors, and between the
network's PCs. The system utilizes various types of
communication
links including tactical HF/VHF radio, WiFi (IEEE 802.3 - IEEE
802.5), wireless LAN/WAN, cellular
and Ethernet. Future evolution could migrate to include evolving
commercial high speed networking standards including
WiMAX (IEEE
802.16).
The use of distributed databases, powerful geographical
information, and 2D / 3D presentation systems enable commanders to
make decisions based on updated situational assessment. In
addition to its basic functions, the system provides real time
monitoring of force positions and movements, improving
coordination among neighboring forces.
