Rockwell Collins Develops Wearable Combat Targeting System
6/15/2018
By Vivienne Machi
PARIS — A new combat targeting system that fits in a user's pocket could help joint terminal attack controllers and other warfighters more simply and readily send and receive critical information, according to its developer.
Rockwell Collins’ FasTAK tactical combat targeting and communications gateway system is a new version of the company’s JTAC platforms. It is expected to provide the U.S. military and its allies more reliable and secure connectivity for mapping, targeting and communications in a smaller package. The technology could be used by commanders and front line troops, said Graham Davenport, director of marketing and business development for Rockwell Collins in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
