Command-and-control management at strategic, upper-level echelonsocused and efficient channeling
of all aid efforts

The Challenge
Joint staff commanders require a complete and
accurate integrated situation picture as well as
decision-support tools for effective campaign
management. With responsibility over the whole
campaign, high-level officers receive inputs from
numerous, independent command-and-control
systems - from air force, navy, and ground forces to
intelligence and logistics. But this diversity and lack
of integration make it difficult to create a single
integrated situation picture (ISP) of the campaign
particularly when needed most - in real time.
In order to see the "big picture," joint staff
commanders require a comprehensive, real-time,
and reliable ISP based on inputs from all theaters
and branches in which friendly and enemy forces
operate. By enabling the joint staff to observe the
overall campaign and upgrade military decision
making throughout the ranks, a uniform ISP
significantly improves campaign management.

ICCS creates a comprehensive, real-time, and

uniform integrated situation picture, presented to
diverse users such as intelligence and operations
officers in their required resolution, while offering
drill-down capabilities.

As the supplier of Integrated Command-andControl System (ICCS) for the Israel Defense
Forces' headquarters, Ness TSG meets this
challenge

ICCS provides two-way connectivity between the

ISP and the commands. The commands feed ICCS
with their current situation pictures, which
continuously update the ISP. ICCS then enables the
transfer of information back to the commands based
on the updated ISP.

The Solution
Leveraging advanced technologies, state-of-the-art
solutions, and a deep understanding of defense
organizations, Ness TSG offers Integrated
Command and Control System (ICCS).

By linking the ISP to all commands, ICCS helps

commanders throughout the ranks conduct highquality situation assessments, make intelligent
decisions, and take action rapidly, thereby
enhancing operational effectiveness at all echelons.

Unique Architecture
ICCS is built with unique, state-of-the-art architecture that ensures a high level of Reliability and security
under all conditions without compromising performance. A robust, scalable system, ICCS features open
architecture, a modular design, cutting-edge connectivity technology, and an advanced human-machine
interface.
ICCS is designed for full redundancy, including intra-site redundancy - whereby a backup for each critical
component is provided - and inter-site redundancy - whereby each site is backed up by other sites. In
addition, each command linked to ICCS can operate independently in a degraded mode when
communication lines are down. Once communication is restored, the system maintains hot backups as well
as disaster recovery planning to automatically synchronize the command.

Key Features
Seamless legacy system interface: seamlessly and
automatically interfaces with legacy C2 systems
High scalability: supports simultaneous operation by
hundreds of users
Independent operation: enables each command to
operate independently in a degraded mode when
communication lines are down
Automatic synchronization: maintains hot backups
as well as disaster recovery planning to automatically
synchronize commands upon restoration of
communication
Comprehensive tools and displays: comes
equipped with reporting, planning, control and
supervision tools as well as displays such as maps,
tables and graphics
