Defence and Communications Systems (DCS), a business unit of EADS Defence & Security, has developed SIR software that consistently upgrades the system allowing future enhancements according to army requirements.
The system is specifically designed to speed up the command and control processes and coordinate units and weapons systems.
It also ensures high mobility and surveillance capacities while allowing fully integrated command at regiment, group, battalion and squadron levels in the battlefield.
The 25.6t, 8×8 armoured fighting vehicle has a welded steel and aluminium hull that protects soldiers against small arms fire and artillery shell splinters.
