ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) have signed a cooperation agreement to provide the German Armed Forces with a proven, agile and robust cross-platform network-centric warfare solution.
The all-domain Network Enabled Operations Support (NEOS) solution is based on IAI’s combat-proven OPAL solution that caters to real-time interoperability across a diverse range of combat platforms.
Together, ESG and IAI will provide developed cross-domain, cross-platform connectivity, combining the deep technological understanding and extensive experience of both companies.
Christoph Otten, ESG’s CEO, underlined the strategic significance of the cooperation on NEOS: “For us, as the national technology and innovation partner of the Bundeswehr, it is part of our philosophy to develop and to provide solutions and products that meet the needs and expectations of those who protect us every day in any domain.
“We must enable them to fullfil their challenging task with robust, reliable and high-performing technology. Thus, we are very happy to cooperate with IAI on NEOS, bringing in especially our proven capabilities in the field of systems integration, software development and in-service support.”
The NEOS solution will enable the German Armed Forces to achieve independence by integrating a variety of German systems and sensors, while introducing unique German-based operational capabilities.
“IAI’s OPAL system is an open architecture platform and a significant force multiplier for the challenges on the modern battlefield. OPAL has been in operation for many years, participating in every operational activity, and boasts a major contribution to success in that it enables completely adaptable communication and operational capabilities across aerial, naval and ground forces,” Yosef Melamed, IAI’s Executive Vice President and General Manager of Aviation Group, added.
“The current cooperation with ESG will take this unique solution to a higher level of performance and flexibility that will benefit the customer and both companies.”
