Abstract :
Friendly force tracking systems (FFTS) are the lowest echelon of command and control information systems (C2IS) in any army command and control architecture. Their initial goal is to provide near real-time information about own troops position. However, in foreseeable current empty battlefields as well as in asymmetric confrontations at least two extra functionalities are required: 1) sensor integration capabilities and 2) extra features allowing traditional C2 functions over small units with high mobility, from battalion level downwards dismounted soldier. SIMACOP, developed by UPV includes the possibility of including video sensing information from different sources, acting as a visual sensor network for tactical purposes.
