The acquisition of the enterprise license marks another important milestone within the Bundeswehr's Mission Enabling Service (MESBw) - the unified software ecosystem designed to support command at all levels.

SitaWare Edge will be deployed in the 'Portable' variant of the MESBw, complementing 'Command Post' (SitaWare Headquarters) and 'Mounted' (SitaWare Frontline), tactical areas in which the software has already been successfully implemented and operationally proven.

Together, these capabilities enable seamless digital command-and-control - from stationary or deployable command posts, through vehicle-based systems, to dismounted forces, providing everyone with a full situational awareness of planning and operations.

The acquisition also includes the associated Software Development Kits (SDKs), providing the foundation for an open C4ISR ecosystem - which allows for thirdrd party integrations, to meet the individual requirements of the Bundeswehr.

Sven Trusch, Managing Director of Systematic's German subsidiary said: "We are proud that the Bundeswehr continues to rely on Systematic as a trusted partner in their ongoing digital transformation. The introduction of SitaWare Edge is another important step, delivering our software capabilities to the very frontline."

SitaWare is the operationally proven C4ISR solution that delivers tactical communication, interoperability, seamless collaborative planning and comprehensive situational awareness across the battlespace. As an advanced C4ISR application, it allows all levels of command and all domains to exchange vital information and extensive plans within own, coalition and joint battle networks.

SitaWare is used by more than 50 countries worldwide and is a trusted force multiplier. Its proven ability unites armed services and ensures efficient communications and decisionmaking from the command right to the tactical edge.
