CESMO
Cooperative Electromagnetic Support Measure OperationsSupporting EW and electromagnetic operations
CESMO is an innovative, IP-based NATO protocol developed to support electronic warfare and electromagnetic operations. As a system of systems (SoS), CESMO enables precise, nearly real-time detection and localisation of threats as well as friendly forces. This significantly enhances the tactical situational awareness (SA) of forces, reduces response times and increases survivability in the field. We play a central role in the development and advancement of CESMO.
Leading the way in CESMO development
Through our active participation in the CESMO working group SEWWG (Spectrum Electronic Warfare Working Group), we have been deeply involved in the development of the protocol and have gained a significant knowledge advantage. This advantage allows us to not only influence the future design of CESMO but also to be at the forefront of CESMO activities. With CESMO, we contribute to enabling electromagnetic spectrum sensors to collaborate across multiple domains within a joint operational environment. This both improves tactical situational awareness and allows SIGINT and ESM sensors to work together tactically to create a comprehensive and accurate situational picture.
Cooperation with the JISR Institute
Through our exclusive partnership with the JISR Institute, we provide CESMOS (the CESMO Network Management System) specifically for the German market.
CESMOS is the only software developed for CESMO that provides situational awareness capabilities. This complex solution facilitates the sharing, fusion and dissemination of electronic support measure (ESM) information.
Our collaboration with the JISR Institute highlights our capabilities as a prime contractor and system integrator, allowing us to offer a comprehensive range of products and to deliver tailored solutions from a single source, meeting the intricate demands of modern operations.
