Managing the communication flow

Backbone for structured, military messaging

Timely, consistent and coherent flows of information are essential if organisations are to do their jobs successfully. In the military world, it’s vital to be able to generate, collate and use information about what all the forces involved are doing. This improves your situational awareness and boosts combat effectiveness.

Talking the same language

To get any task done correctly, everyone concerned has to be able to rely on messages being delivered to the right parts of the organisation – quickly. It’s also important to use data structures that make sure the contents are clearly understood, so the right action can be taken.

This requires an agreed framework of semantics, protocols and standards – which is exactly what the IRIS Suite provides.

The interoperability imperative

Communication based on the Message Text Format (MTF) is the most widely used path to military interoperability.

The IRIS suite of software products ensures full, consistent compliance with the constantly evolving NATO and US MTF standards. These are the solution of choice for communicating and sharing electronic information between different nations, systems and equipment. This ensures best possible interoperability and glitch-free communication.

Tried and tested

With more than 100,000 users in over 30 countries worldwide, IRIS products are de facto standard for passing orders, reports and other information back and forth. IRIS is combat-proven, and has 15+ years of practical, problem-busting experience built in.

Each of these tried-and-tested off-the-shelf IRIS products serves a particular purpose within the overall scheme of things.

Nothing stands still

The MTF standards for information exchange are under continual development, and are constantly being changed, expanded and improved to deal with new equipment and technologies, as well as new operating contexts.

Managing this maelstrom is the challenge tackled by IRIS products from Systematic.
