Digital Systems
Smart and interoperable solutions from seabed to space
The battlefield is changing rapidly and defence and security are facing the challenge of how to deal with current and future threats. We sense, connect, automate and dominate the battlefield, to counter those threats earlier, faster, autonomously and precisely.
Interoperability, modularity, scalability & security are the central factors of SDD. That’s the mission of Rheinmetall’s Digital Systems division. With expertise in digitalization and a vast network of excellent partnerships we have the holistic view of the entire chain; from sensor to effector, including command and control, reconnaissance and combat in a networked environment. Our ecosystem Battlesuite provides access to a broad portfolio of mission-ready software products, applications (‘Apps’) and systems, taking military operations to the next level.
As experts in Simulation and Training we offer training solutions across all domains ranging from part-task and procedural trainers to tactical trainers and command & staff trainers. Rheinmetall’s Digital cluster also leverages latest advancements such as Digital Twins during development and provides turnkey live, virtual and constructive simulation solutions.
The division is grouped into the following business units: Digital Solutions, Product & Airborne Solutions, Global Business and Integrated Electronic Systems.
Digital Solutions
In modern warfare, success is not only reached by superior
firepower. Especially during complex operations across multiple domains information availability often wins. Traditional hierarchical communication and information systems have often led to critical situation information being inaccessible at various levels of action and during crucial times. As Rheinmetall Digital Solutions business unit we securely connect the battlefield and provide data-centric insights for modern military. Our digital ecosystem Battlesuite provides a future-proof framework for the implementation of information superiority within the NATO armed forces. Proven platforms, systems and software solutions form a holistic symbiosis ensuring digital superiority in the battlespace.
