The Common Operational Picture (COP) product line is a Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) solution supporting air, land and sea command, control, communications and intelligence (C3I) systems for strategic, operational and tactical applications.
Many legacy command and control systems have limited abilities for displaying map information, with many simply displaying coloured symbols on a black background. Our Common Operational Picture (COP) products enable these systems to overlay symbols on any combination of land maps, nautical charts or satellite imagery, allowing the detailed geographic situation to be precisely and accurately displayed on a single monitor.
With COP as a foundation, the commander can obtain and integrate the terrain data and the tactical picture, whether at the field command post, in an airborne platform or on board a ship. All aspects of the situation – the terrain, the location of forces, other friendly forces, movements of enemy forces and other critical information – can be seen in a single view. COP products also allow customers to share data across command and control systems, solving the growing requirement for interoperability among allies and among land-based marine and air forces. Our COP products provide decision-makers with timely and relevant spatial data and situational awareness.
COP products are the key to interoperability for C3I applications, allowing the addition of tactical and geographical situational awareness to existing or new command and control, communications, computers and intelligence applications. |
