ATLAS

Joint Fire Control System (FCS) for Collaborative Artillery

  • Defence
  • Land

ATLAS is an unrivalled Joint Fire Control System mastering the full spectrum of Joint Fire Support chain, federating and coordinating all artillery assets and interfaces, from Gun level up to Division level.

Key Benefits

  1. Full Artillery Chain Digitization

    End-to-end digitization of the artillery kill chain, from target acquisition to fire coordination, neutralization and damage assessment, ensuring accelerated decision cycles and precision engagement.

  2. Modular & scalable FCS

    Modular architecture enabling scalable deployments (from battery to division) and easy integration of any 3rd party (sensors, effectors, …) to meet operational requirements.

  3. Any Sensors and Any Effectors

    Already integrating 20+ sensors (optronics, target acquisition and counter-battery radars, observation vehicles, UAVs, acoustics, …) and 20+ effectors (mortars, howitzers, rocket-launchers, …and soon loitering munitions) augmented by AI : automatic target DRI and assisted weapon assignment (“best effector” recommendation)

  4. Fully Interoperable

    Compliance with most of NATO and Military standards and protocols (e.g., ASCA, ADatP-3, VMF, COT, NVG, and more…), enabling seamless joint and coalition operations.

  5. Joint capabilities

    Provides DACAS for air-to-ground strikes (Close Air Support) and ensuring full 3D deconfliction of the battlespace (aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, etc.) to avoid fratricide and enable safe, effective weapons employment.

  6. Combat Proven

    Combat proven for more than 20 years, having been deployed in several operational theatres and with unparalleled satisfaction from end-users. (French and several foreign armies).

ATLAS at the Core of Modern Artillery Operations

In today’s era of intensified conflicts, field artillery operations require far more than a simple Weapon Management system. Joint Fire Support has become decisive to ensure mission success. Modern forces rely on advanced Fire Control systems to coordinate artillery operations (including in coalition operations), deliver accurate long-range fire, and support troops in contact. That’s where ATLAS comes in, ensuring precision, coordination and superiority on the battlefield.

Artillery is definitively a key enabler of operational superiority and therefore requires a robust Fire Control System (FCS) to synchronize and coordinate sensors, decision-makers and effectors.

Developed to support these operational needs, ATLAS is the digital backbone of artillery fire support operations. It enhances tactical agility by providing commanders and operators with the tools to plan, coordinate, and execute fire missions with unparalleled accuracy and responsiveness.

Any Sensors, Right Deciders, Best Effectors
