Enabling full situational awareness across the combat space
Tactical commanders need to make key decisions and pass along information on military assets in near real-time, securely, anywhere in the world.
The Blue Force Tracking (BFT) capabilities enabled by Inmarsat Government support complete situational awareness and Command and Control (C2) for all deployed personnel – whether on the ground, in a vehicle or in the air. Users acquire total situational awareness of each other, through navigational screens inside of vehicles and helicopters that depict the positions and routes of every involved participant. In addition, Inmarsat services enable units to communicate with each other via texts so they can, for example, send warnings about a pending threat that could endanger personnel.
At the center of all of this optimal connectivity is Inmarsat’s ELERA L-band network, delivering highly reliable, secure satellite-based capabilities that are flexible and scalable throughout the combat space, and backed by 24/7 support. Via Inmarsat’s trusted network of mobile satellite communication services – with the utmost reliability, security and affordability – we make possible the situational awareness essential for successful operations in complex environments.
We ensure this through in-orbit redundancy, fully redundant ground infrastructure, 99.9% network reliability and all-weather availability. Users benefit from unparalleled, seamless global coverage, performance and data rates. They also achieve significantly lower cost of ownership by acquiring always-on access to rapid worldwide satellite connectivity and managed services. As a result, they are always in position to make the best decisions based upon the best available information – an indispensable asset at the most critical of times.
