ISTAR/C4ISR

Our unique systems engineering approach and unparalleled understanding of complex systems integration are key enablers to developing solutions leading towards a fully networked battlefield of the future.

Integrating the ever-increasing sources of information within the battle-space and appropriately delivering this to the warfighter is critical to their mission success. The underlying principle of

C4ISTAR (Command, Control,
Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance)

is to get the right information to the right users at the right time and in the right format.
We bring both a strong understanding of the enabling technologies as well as the engineering excellence required to deliver a fully integrated system. Critical to our approach is ensuring that the human operator’s requirements are central to our design and integration activities. This increases both acceptability of the end system and also ensures that we are able to optimise the situational awareness of the operator.
 
BAE Systems has a key role in delivering both the UK and US capability, creating and developing the architectural backbone required to fully realise the networked battlespace of the future. Through our systems engineering approach, we ensure an integrated approach to the development and complete interoperability of current in-service and future systems. Our solutions are designed to deliver reliable and time-critical decision making capability to the warfighter through the rapid, effective and comprehensive integration of data and information.

We ensure an integrated approach to the development and complete interoperability of current in-service and future systems.
