TACTICOS: Combat Management System

TACTICOS is our flagship naval combat management system, providing a comprehensive operational picture that integrates sensors, fire control, communication networks, and more. Designed to support complex maritime operations and support operations during critical moments, TACTICOS enables real-time decision-making and streamlines command efficiency tailored to the needs of modern navies worldwide.

TACTICOS visualises all primary operations on a single screen, translating data from all the integrated naval systems into actionable information. It offers an automated, state-of-the-art rule-based identification and classification capability, thus reducing the load on the operator. The Tacticos artificial intelligence (AI) core works in automatic, semi-automatic or manual modes for engagement planning and execution.
