Tel Aviv: Elbit Systems Sweden, a subsidiary of Israeli company Elbit Systems has successfully concluded a two-week series of 120-node live demonstrations – among the largest and most comprehensive held in Europe – showcasing integrated, digitised land force networking under realistic field conditions.
The demonstrations, attended by participants from across Europe, NATO member states, international partners and leading OEM collaborators, connected operational elements, vehicles, sensors, and soldiers into unified digital networks. Throughout the two-week series, each daily event presented a comprehensive set of operational scenarios, repeatedly demonstrating the system’s multi-domain connectivity, NATO interoperability, cross domain integration and real time mission coordination from headquarters to the tactical edge.
Building on Elbit Systems’ extensive experience in delivering digitised command, control and communication solutions, the demonstrations featured the company’s end to end Digitalisation Solution operating across a 120-node tactical network, powered by the E LynX Software Defined Radio (SDR) family, the Torch X™ Battle Management System and the TIGER X Command and Control architecture – all field proven and widely deployed in modernisation programmes across Europe and worldwide.
During the live scenarios, reconnaissance drones, command posts, armoured vehicles and dismounted soldiers maintained real time voice, video and data connectivity across the network. Commanders monitored the evolving battlefield picture and issued digital manoeuvre orders, while soldiers at the tactical edge shared intelligence and positional data.
The exercises, according to the company, demonstrated how Elbit Systems’ digitised framework transforms connectivity into operational advantage – delivering resilient, secure communications, automation and interoperability with NATO and third party C2 systems, Starlink and other commercial communication systems.
“This campaign represents a significant milestone for Elbit Systems Sweden and for the ongoing digitalisation of European land forces,” said Tobias Wennberg, CEO of Elbit Systems Sweden. “The ability to connect diverse platforms – from sensors and soldiers to vehicles and command posts – into one fast, flexible, secure network was successfully demonstrated here. The digitalisation capabilities we present are the result of years of accumulated experience and operational know how gained in multiple programmes around the world. Elbit Systems is well positioned to support European and NATO customers seeking to modernise and transform their forces into fully digital, networked armies.”
According to Elbit Systems, the results highlight how scalable, open architecture communication systems enhance coordination, situational awareness and command effectiveness across all echelons of a modern fighting force.
