The system is designed to support artillery crews at the point of fire, providing a modern digital fire control system that enables faster targeting, improved accuracy and enhanced operational awareness. The capability supports the delivery of indirect fires while connecting individual guns with wider sensor and effector networks, allowing data to move seamlessly across operations.
John Borton, Managing Director of BAE Systems Weapon Systems UK, said: “Modern conflict demands the ability to sense, decide and act at speed. Our new system has been developed to help armed forces accelerate the delivery of fires by connecting platforms, sensors and decision-makers through a resilient digital architecture. It provides the foundation for a more integrated and responsive fires capability where it matters most.”

Built around an open architecture approach, the system has been designed to integrate with a wide range of existing and future platforms. The design enables the system to operate across different artillery platforms and digital environments, allowing operators to incorporate sensors, command systems and other effectors as part of a connected ecosystem.
This flexible architecture also supports future upgrades, enabling armed forces to evolve their fire control capabilities over time without requiring significant changes to existing equipment. By supporting integration across multiple systems, it helps to deliver a more agile and responsive capability.
Developed with a sovereign UK baseline configuration, it provides customers with greater control over the deployment and management of fire control capabilities.
BAE Systems invests significantly in the design and delivery of new and advanced capabilities for its customers, combining proven artillery expertise with modern digital technologies.
