On June 10-27, 2019, a group of Teldat’s engineers (once again the largest group of engineers taking part in that exercise) and a wide range of JASMINE solutions (again also by far the largest among domestic military technology solutions in that field) took active participation in this year's of NATO CWIX exercise (Coalition Warrior Interoperability eXploration, eXperimentation, eXamination, eXercise). Intensive organizational, procedural and technical preparations for the exercise lasted a year and required participation in many international conferences devoted to this undertaking.

We are pleased to inform that during the exercise, JASMINE's systems, devices and software have successfully passed all planned tests (there were nearly 800 of them, which is almost half of all checks that Polish products in the field of command, communication, computer system were subjected to). Our systems played great role in many specialized - dedicated (also new) areas of the NATO CWIX exercise, the so-called Focus Areas: Land, Air, Maritime, MIP, FFT, TDL, LOG, Communications and Modeling & Simulation. Below is the selected list of our solutions which took part in the exercise:

• HMS JASMINE - Automated Combat Management System for the Military Component, Corps, Division, Brigade and Regiment, mainly composed of the following military technology products which were developed and made in 100% in Poland and are implemented in a wide scope in the Polish Army: ICT node (ZWT JASMINE) and C3I software C3IS JASMINE - HMS C3IS JASMINE (together with its important component JASMINE Web Portal);
• BMS JASMINE - Battalion, Company, Platoon and Team Combat Management System, also consisting of the following national, fully developed and one of the most modern solutions in the world: on-board ICT node, C3I software C3IS JASMINE - BMS C3IS JASMINE. The primary feature of this system is its unification with the abovementioned HMS JASMINE and the fact that it is successfully operated by the Polish Armed Forces on a large scale and mostly consist of identical software components, offering the same or similar command support functionalities as well as hardware and software management of this tactical level solution (because they are built on the basis of a universal Set Services dedicated to the JASMINE Systems family of products);
• JFSS JASMINE - also the only solution of its kind designed and created entirely in Poland, Data Exchange System for Combined Fire Support, including JTAC, which consist of, among others: Combat Identification Server CID JASMINE and C3IS JASMINE software - JFSS C3IS JASMINE. The primary feature of this solution is also the fact that it is also largely unified with HMS JASMINE and has the same C3I software to support the command operation of the troops;
• DSS JASMINE - also the only solution of its kind created in Poland for Dismounted Soldier composed mainly of personal ICT node and C3IS JASMINE software - DSS C3IS JASMINE. This solution is the lowest level element in the chain of command and is also distinguished by unification / full consistency with all of the above JASMINE platform systems.

In the NATO CWIX 2019 exercise, the above-mentioned JASMINE platform solutions were intensively used and tested extensively in a coalition environment (this time with a record number of systems and participants, from nearly 40 countries) in the following areas:

1. Scenario - within the framework of widely played operational scenarios: land forces and FFT (Friendly Force Tracking - a standard for exchanging information about the position of own and allied forces). Systems from over a dozen countries took part in that scenario, including the abovementioned HMS JASMINE (with the aforementioned ICT JASMINE Node and its aforementioned C3I software for support of command of operations - the HMS C3IS JASMINE, which are mutually consistent with SPWs used in the Polish Armed Forces), as well as BMS JASMINE and DSS JASMINE mentioned above. These comprehensive systems include:

   • in the scenario of land forces were one of the fundamental in the organizational structure of units and the most tested solutions;

   • effectively supported command processes and successfully integrated and cooperated with subordinate systems, including national ones;

   • constituted an access point for other systems;

   • our systems were also successfully tested for interoperability standards and protocols, e.g. MIP 3.1, ADatP-3, XMPP and BRM - Battlefield Replication Mechanism (innovative, entirely developed by TELDAT, proprietary RRM class protocol - Radio Replication Mechanism), ensuring automatic and effective data exchange in C4ISR class systems, which are a key software solution improving this process;

   • exercise participants were using successfully our JASMINE Web Portal, which supported the work in command positions, e.g. by creating the Common Operational Picture (POSO).

2. Functional area, in which once again the HMS JASMINE, BMS JASMINE, JFSS JASMINE and DSS JASMINE solutions were checked in terms of interoperability, and successfully tested in the following main areas of interest of this exercise, namely: Land, Air, Maritime, FFT and TDL (Tactical Data Link - a group of standards for the exchange of tactical information between battlefield elements in real or near real time). As part of this set of tests we were able to verify among others: positive verification of a number of implemented interoperability standards (which significantly enrich the set of C3IS JASMINE services) and DACAS procedures (Digitally Aided Close Air Support - a term defining the principles of digital support for the operation of air units during close air support missions), mainly in the field of data exchange and visualization of the air situation, as well as data exchange between NATO systems and other allied countries. Research on interoperability standards in this subject were carried out using the HMS JASMINE, BMS JASMINE, JFSS JASMINE and DSS JASMIN solutions, i.e.: MIP 4 and 3.1, ADatP-36 (NFFI, FFI), ECP1 (DACAS), ADatP-3, ADatP- 37 (CID Server), Link 11B, Link 16, OTH-GOLD (CTC and JUNIT reports), HLA (in the latest NATO version HLA1516e), NVG (in the latest version NVG 2.0), LOGFAS, APP-6C and VMF. These tests were carried out, among others, while exchanging data with national and allied air, land and sea IT solutions (including NATO systems and others represented by exercise participants from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, Spain, the Netherlands, Canada, Germany, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Turkey, USA and Italy). In this context, it is noteworthy that TELDAT makes continuous efforts to ensure compliance with the latest versions of the NATO standards in order to maintain high and proven interoperability with the coalition systems. In addition, our engineers and JASMINE solutions have been involved for several years, as part of the alliance MIP Working Group (also as the first Polish team with its own products), in research and development of the latest version of the MIP 4 interoperability standard (this standard is planned for use in future spirals / version of FMN - Federated Mission Network - a key initiative in which the Polish Armed Forces participate in the North Atlantic Alliance), which also places our country highly on the international stage in the development of C4ISR systems. Under this standard, HMS JASMINE (including its above-mentioned HMS C3IS JASMINE software) was again the one and only (first) Polish system successfully subjected to experimental research.
3. Mobile area, carried out in the so-called Communications Focus Area, in which BMS JASMINE, JFSS JASMINE and DSS JASMINE have been successfully and very intensively used together again with the latest Tactical Terminals - the only mobile solutions of this type in the C4ISR class, the subsequent versions of which are mostly in use since 2012 have been successfully used (also checked and verified) in the dynamic operation of the exercise and thus confirming the correct and constant development of the above solutions. As a result of these tests, it is important that these products have again reliably confirmed, among others ability to integrate and cooperate with other, national and allied, command, support of military operations, communication, reconnaissance and simulation and training systems. In addition to that, BMS JASMINE (together with its latest generation VIS JASMINE On-Board Communication System), for the sixth time in turn, in the history of this exercise, as the only solution of its kind created in Poland, was implemented on the vehicle and used in motion and, importantly, operated successfully in a long distance. One of the practical and arousing great interest among the participants of the exercise was the implementation of the military techniques by this product (live feed from the vehicle in which the discussed BMS was implemented) video image transmission and tracking of the position of its own troops from the public network to the classified network of the SECRET / NATO SECRET clause using a certified NATO diode ( NC3A DIODE).

NATO CWIX 2019 confirmed again that:

• all JASMINE platform software and hardware products used during the exercise have features, capabilities (including interoperability standards) and functionalities fully consistent with the objectives of achieving centric and interoperable capabilities, specified i.a. by the Polish Armed Forces. This would not be possible without unification / full coherence of the components and all the technological solutions used in this JASMIN System of Systems, which has once again been reliably and extensively demonstrated and tested in a practical way during the exercise;
• thanks to, for instance, comprehensiveness and a large spectrum capabilities, JASMINE is the only Polish Command, Computer and Communication Systems and Support Systems in some areas also very unique in the world scale. This comprehensive solution and its components are made at the highest standards by high class Polish specialists in the field of military ICT;
• TELDAT’s products are popular and highly rated by high-level visitors of the NATO CWIX exercise, to include VIP’s from Polish Armed Forces, NATO and many allied nations. An important example of this is the statement of the Deputy Head of the Polish General Staff – Maj. General Krzysztof Król, who underlined during the press conference that the wide capabilities of C3IS JASMINE - HMS C3IS JASMINE to command multinational operations and its certification by NATO, placed our system on the special allied list of trusted solutions (AFPL - Approved Field Product List) also mentioning our credits in last year's NATO certification of combat readiness of the Multinational Division North East from Elbląg.
