16 Jun 16. Eurosatory: Atos launches new BMS. Atos has launched a new battle management system (BMS) called Bull at the Eurosatory exhibition in Paris on 14 June. Bull BMS is designed to provide a real-time information sharing capability for land and air-land combat, throughout the entire battalion chain of command, including headquarters, inside vehicles and for the dismounted soldier. The system allows rapid creation of combined arms battle groups, which can share information about the mission effectively, even in degraded network conditions. It has an intuitive user interface, high tolerance for manual entry, and automates the capture of data. Technical neutrality means Bull can be easily adapted to equipment of the user – tactical radio, vehicles, vetronics, operating systems and connected armaments. Pierre Barnabé, SVP managing director, big data and security, Atos, said: ‘With Bull BMS, soldiers can focus on their mission while benefitting from the power of digitalisation. The system considerably accelerates decision-making and gives priority to action. ‘The sharing of strategic information in reflex time gives battalions an advantage in terms of autonomy, responsiveness and protection, which visibly and durably changes the tactical situation on the ground.’ (Source: Shephard)

16 Jun 16. Eurosatory: Steps towards European waveform. A new European waveform developed under the European Secure Software defined Radio (ESSOR) programme is bringing militaries closer to true interconnectivity. At the tactical level, Finnish company Bittium and Italian company Leonardo have demonstrated the ability to send voice and data across different national radio systems to each other. The European High Data Rate Waveform (HDRWF) was developed under ESSOR by five countries (although Sweden has now left) and demonstrated at Eurosatory by Leonardo’s SWAVE software defined radio and Bittium’s Tactical Wireless IP Network (TAC WIN) system. Both companies displayed video streaming from one laptop through to an other seamlessly through the radio system. ESSOR has been running this waveform programme since 2009 but this is the first time that it has been able to function from any platform in a way that can enable joint operations. A spokesperson from Bittium told Shephard that further trials will take place on TAC WIN in Finland with the Finnish Defence Force in the last quarter of 2016. Although the intention is for the system to work seamlessly, there is usually some work to be done at the lower levels of the waveform where they integrate with the hardware. This is called ‘porting’ whereby industry fine tunes the waveform software to make sure it integrates properly with the CPU, drivers and programmable logic and knows how to use the hardware resources. A spokesperson from Leonardo told Shephard that the programme was just completing its first phase. The second phase will be to increase the capacity of the waveform to transmit larger amounts of data and make it operationally effective. The HDRWF was developed within the confines of the Software Communications Architecture 2.2.2 and the ESSOR programme was established by the European Defense Agency and sponsored by Finland, France, Italy, Spain, Poland and Sweden before the latter left the programme. The other companies involved included Indra from Spain, Radmor from Poland, Thales from France, with Saab from Sweden. (Source: Shephard)

16 Jun 16. Rigaku Analytical Devices, a leading pioneer of handheld and portable Raman spectroscopic analyzers, today announced a major enhancement of its Progeny™ ResQ™ handheld chemical identification tool at the IAFC Hazmat Conference in Baltimore, Maryland. The new feature, dubbed 4C Technology, significantly increases the usefulness of a handheld analyzer used at incidents by indicating the overall threat level posed by
