A 120-node digital combat network was put through live trials by Elbit Systems Sweden, linking soldiers, sensors, and platforms into a shared battlespace.

The demonstration integrated the company’s E-LynX Software-Defined Radio family, the Torch-X Battle Management System, and the TIGER-X command-and-control system.

These technologies successfully connected reconnaissance drones, command posts, armored vehicles, and dismounted troops, enabling real-time exchange of voice, video, and operational data across the force.

As information flowed through the network, commanders tracked battlefield developments and issued digital maneuver orders, while troops at the tactical edge fed back intelligence and positional updates.

The results highlighted how open, flexible communications architectures can enhance coordination, situational awareness, and command performance across distributed units.

During the exercise, the systems were also tested in multiple scenarios to demonstrate compatibility with NATO assets and interoperability in varied operational environments.

Advancing Digitalization

The two-week trials brought together participants from across Europe, NATO member states, international partners, and key industry collaborators.

Tobias Wennberg, chief executive officer of Elbit Systems Sweden, said the campaign marked a significant milestone for both the company and the broader digitalization of European land forces.

“The ability to connect diverse platforms — from sensors and soldiers to vehicles and command posts — into one fast, flexible, secure network was successfully demonstrated here,” he stressed.

“Elbit Systems is well positioned to support European and NATO customers seeking to modernize and transform their forces into fully digital, networked armies.”
