Israel’s Rafael reshapes urban-warfare with AI, augmented reality
The Germany military is studying Israeli digital combat technology ahead of a potential contract. Even the United States, which enjoys modern digital equipment, has shown interest in Fire Weaver as a system that is well-suited to American battle doctrines.
In December, a German company named Atos was selected by a German federal office, which reports to Germany’s Federal Ministry of Defense, to study the creation of a "glass battlefield to support dynamic operations." Atos was tasked with demonstrating how drones could be used together with ground vehicles and soldiers to create a real-time, three-dimensional picture – "glass battlefield" – for managing combat operations.
To carry out its study, Atos joined forces with Rafael. The Israeli company is delivering two key components for the study. .... the first component is "Fire Weaver," an advanced, augmented-reality system that connects all friendly forces to a single battlefield picture and makes sure that all of them are looking at the exact same targets. ... The second component offered by Rafael for the study is a radio system called BNET, which can be used by soldiers, vehicles or drones, connecting them all together.
