Ground Forces Get Boost With Handheld Battlefield Data Systems
Israel’s ASIO Technologies has developed a range of systems to enhance the capabilities of ground forces, including the handheld Orion tactical mission enhancement system. The system, which provides battlefield data to troops on the ground, was widely deployed during the Gaza conflict and has garnered attention from foreign militaries. ASIO’s CEO, Tomer Malchi, highlighted the need for such systems, citing the gaps in maneuvering forces and equipment. The company’s systems, including Lynx and Nocta, aim to address these gaps and provide situational awareness and command and control capabilities. According to Breaking Defense, ASIO continues to refine its systems and introduce new enhancements informed by feedback from the battlefield.
