The SITEL system, designed for several different vehicle types, comprises a terminal with a touch screen and digital map, and an interface for tactical radio and navigation systems. SITEL provides connectivity between basic units and combat vehicles and is interoperable with the army’s other information systems, especially the one used in the FELIN* integrated equipment suite (soldier modernization program). It allows both combat and support units to stock and share information on tactical situations, along with mission planning and specific services for different weapon systems. SITEL is already deployed by the 2nd Armored brigade and the 6th Light armored brigade. Source: Sagem |
