Our line of Combat Systems are cutting edge networked platforms seamlessly integrated within the Blueforce Tactical (BTAC) technology suite and mobile Command Post Network, providing the next generation of capability today through rapid routing of real time actionable information, all critically focused to reinforce the warfighters situational awareness and enhance mission authority by extending the tactical edge. The interface of these state of the art systems enables our warfighters to rapidly form networked confederations of operators, sensors, information services and weapon platforms. With continuous Mobile Command Post autonomous monitoring in real time, all activity is brought together working in unison and displayed within the network to rapidly enhance the Commanders ability to make informed decisions in highly complex environments.
The BTAC enabled FUSION SYSTEM is a light weight integrated modular rifle forearm bringing critical electro optics and sensors together within our Bluetooth enabled network. Powered by one CR123 Battery, the Power Management Supply System is purposely placed at the optimized center of gravity for the weapon system, and contains a second Battery for immediate backup, This unique power management system energizes a reflex sight, red visible laser, NIR laser and fixed NIR illuminator, as well as a SureFire dual spectrum head with white and NIR light. The FUSION SYSTEM by design integrates commonly used weapon accessories into one modular system that can be adjusted on the fly and controlled ambidextrously.
Truly innovative, the FUSION SYSTEM has BTAC on board further enabling a “smart weapon” design. The warfighter is able to connect the weapon via BTAC plugin to the network, providing awareness of the weapon’s operational health while in the field as well as an armorer’s interface for key predictive maintenance parameters associated with long term care.
The FUSION SYSTEM benefits from the BTAC technology suite in these key areas:
- Shot counter: Monitors shot count using shot records, which are shared in real time with other users and the Armorer’s Module for BlueforceCOMMAND.
- Temperature monitoring: Monitors weapon temperature and can forward based on high and low thresholds.
- Health/power: Monitors and reports maintenance flags or issues as part of the movement of shots, temperature, and location.
- Sensor Fusion: FUSION plugin runs alongside of other BTAC plugins to include Wilcox RAPTAR-S, Wilcox PATRIOT 5510, physiological, CBRN, subterranean trackers, signint, streaming body worn video, and other commercially available plugins. One client, MANY sensors.
- Offline queue: BTAC will hold presence packets when connectivity is denied. When BTAC sees an approved network, it forwards packets cached during offline operations.
- Network friendly Selective synchronization: Plugin may be configured to send ALL shot records, OR, only send those where shot count and/or temperature changes.
