Battle Management Software Suite BMSS Ô

BMSS™ Battle Management Software is a tactical command and control system developed by General Dynamics C4 Systems (GDC4S).

Field-proven, with over 50,000 systems sold worldwide, it provides a homogeneous command and control system that extends across organizational boundaries from division to the individual soldier and combat platform.

BMSS™ Battle Management Software is a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solution that provides military organizations around the world with situational awareness, messaging, and operational planning capability. BMSS™ Battle Management Software creates a dynamic, self-forming network over existing communication networks to provide automated command and control capability down to the individual soldier. Using natural name addressing, BMSS™ Battle Management Software is easy to learn and is platform and operating system agnostic.

BMSS™ Battle Management Software increases situational awareness by creating a Common Operational Picture (COP) using GPS. The common operating picture allows the entire organization to have the same view of the battlefield. The software maximizes the commander's appreciation of the current battlefield situation, enabling the rapid development and implementation of battle plans.

The messaging functionality in BMSS™ Battle Management Software allows the quick dissemination of plans and orders, which saves time and reduces the potential for errors. The software also provides an extensive collection of message management tools providing the commander the capability to organize and communicate based upon their individual requirements. Messages are sent utilizing the existing communication infrastructure (combat net radios, LAN, WLAN, SATCOM) and are formatted to minimize the use of bandwidth.
