C2, a UK-based engineering business specializing in the design, production and integration of bespoke Command and Control (C2) and Sophisticated Communications Systems, announced the launch of the C-LITE Gen 3 Tactical Mission System during SOFEX (6-8 May; Amman, Jordan).

The networked battle space is evolving rapidly. Today’s military need commercial quality ‘on board’ computing equipment that can handle extreme conditions, without compromising performance or data security. 

Small, lightweight, low power and rugged, the C-LITE Gen 3 Tactical Mission System has been designed to address the increasing size, weight and power constraints (SWaP) the modern military environment demands, while delivering greater situational awareness. 

C-LITE delivers a highly compact solution, with an extremely low power demand, to provide an unparalleled level of mission systems integration and distribution.

The ability to deliver a true integration of the ever increasing number of mission systems, is provided through the simultaneous electronic management of multiple systems such as Optics, Sensors, Communications, GPS, and Force Tracking, through a single unit. 

C-LITE ensures that this data is distributed in the correct format to the users and, if needed, to additional users in other transport. The ability to add mission specific modules has been designed in to C-LITE through the provision of an expansion port for Radio Gateways, BLOS and Satcom on the Move. 

C-LITE can support a range of platforms including fixed, mobile and maritime and can be extended through a C2UK Application Module (CAM) which integrates with the core computer and enables additional inputs and outputs, further enhancing system capability. 

“C-LITE gives military users worldwide the ability to integrate the ever increasing number of mission systems through the simultaneous electronic management of multiple systems such as Optics, Sensors, Communications, GPS, and Force Tracking, through a single unit. C-LITE is officially launched at SOFEX,”  said Stuart Burton C2 Business Development Director.

C2UK and Lockheed Martin are demonstrating that the integration of two sophisticated vehicle-mounted systems can bring significant improvements to battlefield decision making. 

At SOFEX 2014, the C-LITE Gen3 Tactical Mission System and Gyrocam sensor system are integrated onto a Polaris MV850 all-terrain vehicle and show that critical mission data from multiple locations can be transmitted in real time to the warfighter and command center.
