  • significant increase of situational awareness allowing to achieve an information superiority, including their security, e.g. by the efficient distribution of information about threats and an automated information system on the current location of own forces (Friendly Force Tracking),
  • Common Operational Picture and integration / collaboration with other systems to create COP,
  • cooperation and integration with allied systems (also byimplementation of NATO standards) including:
    • command and communications, Air Defense and JFSS JASMINE (Joint Fires Support System) including JTAC,
    • reconnaissance (information from battlefield sensors, e.g. UAV, soldier equipment) including CBRN threats from Reporting Nuclear Detonations, Biological and Chemical Attacks and Predicting and Warning of Associated Hazards and Hazard Areas - STANAG 2103,
    • training and simulation, e.g. JCATS and VBS2 / VBS3 by the use of HLA (High Level Architecture) standard;
  • current operational/tactical situation picture and BLUE FORCE TRACKING using: NFFI (NATO Friendly Force Information) and FFI (Friendly Force Identification - STANAG 5527) - in this case, the system can operate as FFT HUB,
  • automatic operational data exchange with effective use of radio means during mobile operations,
  • secure operation in classified networks (including NATO, e.g.: Polish Mission Network and NS-WAN),
