Presentation of the C4I Subsystems of Digital Military Systems in the Armies of NATO Member Countries

Abstract

The management of today’s armed conflicts is characterised by network-centric warfare. In this approach,  the sensor networks that obtain the information, the  decision-making network, and the executive network are  integrated into a common system. Thus, executive soldiers  have access to information from other reconnaissance  sources. In the tool system used by soldiers, C4I  (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence) systems are the elements by which this is  accomplished. These systems provide battlefield  information to commanders to make decisions and control  military forces to carry out missions. In this article, I present  the C4I systems of the DSS (Dismounted Soldier  System) program, which are already systematised in the armies of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization)  member states.
