Basic description

BFT provides ground units, including infantry and armoured vehicles, with a common operational picture.

By utilising GPS and satellite communication, it tracks friendly forces in real-time, displaying unit locations, movements, speed, and identification on a digital map. This capability enhances situational awareness, reduces the risk of friendly fire incidents, and improves coordination across military operations.

The system connects units via a network of transceivers, transmitting data to a central server, which then displays the information on a tablet or other interface. Additionally, BFT provides real-time alerts for potential threats, messaging capabilities, and integrates with enemy tracking features within allied C4ISR systems. Its adaptable design allows for deployment across various unit sizes and platforms, ensuring flexible and scalable operational support.

As part of a broader C4ISR system, BFT integrates with our VIBMS Battle Management System and ARTS Target Acquisition System, enhancing situational awareness and operational coordination.
