The next generation of battlefield management systems: "Fast Road"
05 May 2011 , 13:50 Daniella Bokor IDF
The "Fast Road" system is the next generation of technology for battlefield
management systems in tanks. The system, developed by Elbit, has begun to be
integrated into some of the IDF's regular armored divisions.
The technological leap represented by the "Fast Road" system is in the speed
that it can transfer data and messages, within seconds or less. In each tank
connected to the system, an array of data related to what is occurring on
the battlefield appears on monitors.
New data appears on the screens within seconds of being received by the
system. The device itself is small, taking up little space in the tank.
"There is no doubt that the device improves operational effectiveness and
allows for immediate communication without delays," said Lt. Col. Avi Uriel.
The "Fast Road" system also allows for data to be entered in higher volumes
and more frequently.
