Four companies from the CSG group actively participated in the 2024 "Konference spojovacího vojska", held in early June in Lipník nad Bečvou. Representatives from Tatra Defence Vehicle, Retie, UpVision, and Pocket Virtuality presented their products and solutions at the event.
Members of the signal corps and representatives of the defense industry gathered on June 5-6 at the Bečva training area in Lipník nad Bečvou to exchange experiences and discuss trends in the modern battlefield, where new technologies will be introduced more than ever before, leading to a comprehensive transformation in the conduct of combat operations including methods of command and control.
Tatra Defence Vehicle, through its subsidiary Tatra Defence Systems (TDS), showcased a complete portfolio of products at their booth, ranging from sensors through analytical and control stations to effectors. Specifically, company specialists presented drones and a robotic vehicle. The analytical and control station featured the TITUS 6x6 vehicle in a communications version, and the effector was the Viktor vehicle produced by Excalibur Army.
The integration of technologies with animal soldiers also caught attention. At the TDS booth, a sensor-dog was presented. The dog wears glasses, headphones, and a camera that gives the handler "eyes," allowing commands to be given remotely via a transmitter.
At the TDV booth, the company Pocket Virtuality also presented their innovative solution: augmented reality service manuals for the TITUS 6x6 vehicle. The service and maintenance manual for this vehicle has over 6,500 pages. By utilizing existing 3D production models, Pocket Virtuality's solution can display individual service actions directly on the vehicle, allowing operators to easily perform them step-by-step.
At the 8th Signal Corps Conference held at the Bečva training area in Lipník nad Bečvou, the company Retia from Pardubice also showcased its anti-drone system featuring the 3D radar ReGuard, as well as its own JREAP/Link 16 subsystem which allows for the transmission of tactical data messages over long-distance networks.
At the conference, the company UpVision, in collaboration with O2 and Cetin, presented the TES system, which is a tactical system with a private 5G network for controlling robotic autonomous vehicles. TES supports the integration of proprietary robots. Various carriers and sensors are connected to the system via 5G or federated networks. The connected robots provide a practical tool that aids in the acquisition of infrastructure. The mobile command center then facilitates the development of cooperation between humans and machines in a connected environment utilizing private 5G network technology.
The 2024 Signal Corps Conference showcased a variety of innovations that we previously only saw in science programs. Today, these are being practically applied throughout the entire communication process and clearly demonstrate that the signal corps is responding flexibly to the current situation and is prepared to become a highly modern and effective component of the armed forces, as well as of the state's critical infrastructure. It is great to see that our companies are also significantly contributing to this modernization.
