Terma Ground Systems - Mission-Critical Command and Control Systems

Terma Ground Systems is a proven developer of C4IS systems open to any type of sensor or effector. Established in Denmark in 1949, it today operates worldwide with subsidiaries in a number of European countries, Singapore and the United States.

Our key characteristics are:

• Working closely with defence forces, public authorities and international organisations around the world
• A strong belief in long-term relationships
• Gaining knowledge, insight and understanding of our customers' working environment, situations and needs through close relationships with them
• Systems and products developed and designed specifically for use in extreme mission-critical environments and situations where human lives and valuable assets are at stake
• Experience in sophisticated and complex defence programs involving development and integration
• Expertise in efficient programme-management and follow-up activities

C4IS SYSTEMS

Terma have designed and built C4IS systems for more than 30 years, and with this experience, we are able to provide the partnership needed to design and implement any scale of command and control, ranging from battle management systems to advanced C4IS systems.

T-CORE C4IS FRAMEWORK

Having designed multiple command and control systems for different customers and purposes, we found that many functions were similar from system to system. Based on this, we developed a C4IS framework named T-Core, a generic core composed of software components offering all common C4I functions identified in army, navy and air force as well as civilian mission-critical systems.

T-Core enables efficient system implementation and makes it possible to deliver C4IS systems with customisable functionality on time and with low risk.

T-Core is an efficient framework for most C4IS systems; we can offer a complete turnkey system or T-Core can be offered B2B as a development platform for companies seeking an efficient way to include C4I as part of their competences.

T-CORE C4IS FRAMEWORK ADVANTAGES

T-Core offers:

• Scalability from single PDA to field-networked computer clusters
• Platform independence: T-Core runs on multiple operating systems
• Modular C4IS framework allowing fast adaptation to new requirements
• Deployment in army, navy and air force systems
• Proven real-time performance under military communication conditions
• Support for international link and protocol standards

INTERCONNECT SENSORS AND EFFECTORS

Timely and accessible information is vital for situational awareness, force tracking and identification. T-Core offers a service-oriented approach on how to interconnect sensors, effectors and communication assets, which means that you can access all assets connected to your network as if they were connected locally. T-Core is an independent framework allowing interfaces to almost any manufacture of sensor, effector or communication equipment.

Sensor and effector services can be utilised individually, combined and / or joint – providing a perfect basis for network centric warfare operations. Based on T-Core, any system supplied by Terma can easily be adapted to individual customer needs in relation to sensor, weapon, Human Machine Interface (HMI) and communication platform interfaces.

Seamless integration of multiple communication systems is possible through the T-Core interface application, which supports multiple data links and protocols, such as Advanced Tactical Data Links (ATDL), Link 1, Link 11, Link 16, ADat-P3, and BFT (NFFI).

CUSTOMISABLE C4IS FRAMEWORK

Instead of developing an entire new system or capability from scratch for each customer, we use the same framework components for all army, navy and air force systems – T-Core.

With T-Core you can re-enable all your existing and relevant assets into one networked system, including legacy equipment, which typically would be excluded by closed large-vendor systems.

T-Core is field-proven so focus and effort can be put on specific customer required capability changes and / or new capabilities. T-Core offers a noticeable reduction of time, cost and risk.

RADIO NETWORK IMPLEMENTATION

Over the last 25 years, Terma Ground Systems has built up significant experience in utilising different wireless technologies to form real-time data and voice networks for deployable and mobile applications, mainly in the ground-based military domain.

We have worked with the following types of communication:

• HF
• VHF
• UHF
• WLAN
• Satellite

Within these types of communication, we have experience in data, enabling both analogue and digital technology.
