British Force to use SitaWare software

The SitaWare C4ISR software allows the UK’s Standing Joint Force Headquarters (SJFHQ) to communicate plans and orders quickly and efficiently.

The UK has joined its JEF partners in Lithuania and Latvia, as well as deploying liaison officers in Denmark, Estonia, Finland and Sweden. Six out of the ten JEF nations present currently use the same technology, manufactured by Danish-owned company Systematic.

Group Senior Vice President of Defence, Andrew Graham, said it was a fantastic opportunity for British forces to gain operational insight into how SitaWare can support the work they do.

Helping international partners communicate effectively

“For international partners to communicate with each other effectively and reliably while building a common picture of their operation is absolutely vital,” he said. “We are extremely proud to be working with the UK and supporting their contribution to the JEF deployment.”

As well as the software, Systematic also sent two team members to support SJFHQ in the field. Senior systems engineer David Lewis and Product Support Manager Martin Eskildsen spent four days at their HQ near Vilnius, Lithuania to assist with SitaWare Headquarters by providing user training and technical support.

SitaWare Headquarters provides a seamless, integrated C4ISR system for all levels of command, allowing the sharing of a Common Operational Picture (COP) and coordination of plans and orders across both co-located and deployed forces.

The JEF deployment is coordinating military activity in the Baltic Sea region at a time of heightened focus on regional security and cooperation.
