Israeli Programmers Are Developing A Digital Battle Command System That Will Simplify The Battlefield For Commanders To Make Decisions



Israel Defense: "Noked": the IDF Startup that Could Change the Battlefield Forever

An enterprising team of IDF programmers and engineers are developing a digital battle command system that will take us into the future

In the past, the army used maps, stickers, and markings to tell commanders where to go and what to do. Now, an enterprising team of IDF programmers and engineers are developing a digital battle command system that will take us into the future. “Noked,” a hi-tech, interactive, mapping system will change the rules of the game.

“Noked,” is an acronym for the Hebrew words “digital battle procedure.” With it, commanders will always have a crystal-clear picture of the frontlines. They will be able to see exactly where each unit is located in real time and interact with other commanders to coordinate changes seamlessly.

WNU Editor: In all wars and conflicts information, intelligence, positions .... these are all important factors that assist in winning battles. But it appears that this Israeli start-up has gone one step further .... being able to digitize this intel that it makes it easy for commanders to have access to it.

Hat Tip to Fred from Good Shit for this link.
