Smart systems for today’s armed forces

The demands imposed on the capabilities profile of contemporary armed forces are constantly changing: the machinery and modalities of modern warfare require constant streamlining and optimization. New technologies have turned information into a key factor in determining the outcome of military operations. Transforming real-time information superiority into command superiority is crucial in gaining and maintaining the upper hand on the modern battlefield.
 
Ground-based reconnaissance systems, unmanned air vehicles, fire control technology, C4I systems, and the ability to incorporate military assets into IT networks: these are crucial features of Force Transformation and priority items for modernization. 
 
As a longstanding partner of dozens of the world’s armed forces, Rheinmetall Defence possesses a broad technological base in the field of defence electronics: working in close cooperation with our customers, we conceptualize and create new products and system solutions. The division’s range of products extends from reconnaissance, fire control and command technology to guided missile platforms and drone systems for a variety of missions. Moreover, their potential inclusion in a complex network-based environment can be tested for customers under realistic conditions using NECLab, the division’s "Concept Development & Experimentation" facility. Networking is also a key aspect of various Future Soldier programs underway around the world in which Rheinmetall Defence is participating.
