Two brand new training laboratories of the Automated Battlefield Management System HMS C3IS JASMINE and the ICT Nodes, as well as the training laboratory of the ICT Nodes were created at Polish Military University of Technology in Warsaw. The didactic units were officially opened on November 26th, 2019, after the successful completion of works related to their creation by TELDAT engineers, which also included: training of the research and teaching staff of the abovementioned military university and to empower them as an instructor. In this important undertaking, among others, took part the representatives of the Military University of Technology headed by Prof. dr. hab. Eng. Andrzej Dobrowolski (Dean of the Faculty of Electronics), Colonel Prof. Dr. hab. Eng. Zbigniew Piotrowski (Director of the Institute of Communications Systems), Dr. Eng. Artur Bajda (Deputy Director of the Institute of Communications Systems) and Dr. Eng. Piotr Łubkowski (Head of the Telecommunications Systems Department). TELDAT represented Dr. Eng. Henryk Kruszyński (President of our company), Prof. dr. Eng. Łukasz Apiecionek (Director of the Innovative Information Technology Department) and M.Sc. Tomasz Zalesiak (Director of the Department of Implementation and Systems Maintenance).

The first of the indicated laboratories was equipped with the necessary number of licenses of the mentioned HMS C3IS JASMINE and the latest generation of ICT Node (containing a full set of military training devices, located in the portable and container version of the Node). The second laboratory was equipped with the identical ICT Node. The newly opened laboratories are the first of its kind / this generation teaching cells on a national scale - they will significantly increase the effectiveness of the education and improvement process of current and future military personnel. A large amount of highly specialized equipment and software, which these laboratories have been equipped with, effectively and modernly support combat management and army operations (now they guarantee - which was not available until recently, especially on such a large scale and in mobile operations usage of radio means - e.g. process automation and command and current digital imaging of the operational situation). They also provide modern and efficient connectivity as well as management, configuration, monitoring and service of ICT Nodes. Our company provided and / or provides both of these solutions to the Polish Armed Forces:

• the main designer and manufacturer ICT Nodes, whose deliveries are carried out in accordance with the contract concluded with the Armament Inspectorate in December 2018. These solutions were developed by TELDAT on the basis of: high requirements of the Ministry of National Defense (including in the field of broadly understood ICT security and very high climate, emission and mechanical resistance of its components) and several years of experience gained by our company during the development, testing, implementation, operation and improvement of this type of military products;
• also the creator of the above HMS C3IS JASMINE, which is widely / unlimitedly used by the Polish Armed Forces in the country and abroad. It has also been repeatedly proved (e.g. in terms of cyber security and ensuring compatibility and interoperability with other coalition systems) and recommended (also by: NATO) and entered on the allied AFPL trusted list (Approved Fielded Product List). This solution also met all the necessary requirements to operate in the PMN 2.0 environment (Polish Mission Network) and passed the necessary verifications in this regard. At the same time, it is subject to continuous technological development and improvement as well as systematic tests, including during numerous national and international exercises carried out e.g. as part of subsequent editions of following exercises: ANACONDA, DRAGON, NATO CWIX and MIP Working Group undertakings.

The above-mentioned WTi (in mobile and container versions) and the HMS C3IS JASMINE system are used to provide IT security for the current needs of the Polish Armed Forces in the country and abroad, to include ensuring efficient command and operation of their operational associations, branches and sub-units. Both of these solutions, appearing in one hardware and software set, create the classic HMS JASMINE - the Automated Combat Operational and Tactical Level Management System, additionally equipped with a minimum of one mentioned node (regardless of its version).

The main task of these ICT Nodes is mainly to guarantee:

• IT security, in particular command posts of military components, divisions, brigades, regiments and battalions, and ensuring their functioning in various environmental and climate conditions;
• efficient ICT networks with high classified clauses (e.g. the already mentioned Polish Mission Network 2.0 - PMN 2.0) and effective functioning in this infrastructure, enabling the processing of information of the SECRET and NATO SECRET clause in command positions at all levels, developed for the needs of the war system command and as part of allied and coalition activities;
• secure data transmission (including: IP audio communication, e-mail exchange, file distribution and video conferencing services) and control (including monitoring) of access to the ICT system;
• possibility to install an efficient setup of automated command and support systems for troops, which was also practically implemented in the abovementioned HMS C3IS JASMINE Automated Battle Management System;
• conditions for creating laboratory (test) environments for the purposes of verification and certification of systems: support for command and operation of troops and / or management of combat means;
• ICT infrastructure necessary for the implementation of military exercises and training in the country and abroad;
• use of this military equipment for the integration of command posts with sensors and effectors;
• possibility of designing and advanced management, including configuring and monitoring the operation of ICT networks built on the basis of these military components.

Whereas the main task of the above mentioned HMS C3IS JASMINE system is:

• support (also significant efficiency and improvement) of commanding military operational-tactical structures and their activities, including optimizing, in particular: the command process (its phases: positioning, planning, task setting and control), operation and cooperation as well as situational awareness and security of troops (e.g. through automated / immediate: distribution of threat data and current position of own forces and displaying this information on digital map data);
• guaranteeing the current: operational situation (including creating its common operational picture) and tracking its own and allied forces (BFT - Blue Force Tracking);
• enabling information advantage and eliminating delays (often many hours) in data transfer (also about the location of branches and subunits and their mobile facilities, e.g. command vehicles - tactical level WD), as well as labor-intensive (and time consuming) putting them on paper maps;
• efficient and safe functioning (also processing information about high classified clauses) in the IT structures of stationary and mobile command posts and military vehicles, e.g. Command Vehicles;
• effective integration and cooperation with other systems (also allies - through the application of NATO standards), including: command, communication, combat, reconnaissance (supervision) and simulation and training;
• to guarantee automated exchange of operational data, also at the tactical level using radio links, including narrowband, using the proprietary BRM protocol;
• ensuring the possibility of efficient (also group) operation (including creation, transmission and control) of command documents, including plans, orders, reports, combat operations logbook and various types of templates;
• guaranteeing archiving of data, including graphic layers and voice messages, which allows to accurately reproduce the course of events during operations and determine their actual factual evidences (this is useful, e.g. in the aspect of: performance evaluation, training and improvement of troops, including the use of equipment that is in their disposal).
