Modern operations demand a flow of accurate information in the right place, in the
right way, and at the right time. The consequences of information gaps or misinformation
could be catastrophic to people and platforms, including the risk of fratricide.

Proven command and control systems deliver information advantage in near-real-time,
allowing quick and informed decisions based on an accurate picture of the situation
on the ground.

In October last year, Ultra received a $11 million order to upgrade Tunisian Command
and Control System. The order was placed through the U.S. Navy International Program
Office.

Per the contract, Tunisia’s Joint Operations Command Centre (JOCC) will be integrated
with a Common Operational Picture (COP) system that “provides integrated data from
multiple sources to enhance the ability to securely share information across the
Tunisian military, including Type 1 encryption.”

The C2I system financing will be carried out by the US Building Partner Capacity
Case funds.

The system chosen by the Tunisian Air Force (TAF) is Ultra’s Air Defense System 
Integrator (ADSI), it will allow the Tunisian army to have a real-time view of the
activities of its forces and radar coverage and centralized communications. The 
ADSI is “currently the only C2 [command-and-control] system that meets the requirements
for this effort, including interfacing with Tunisian infrastructure”.

It aligns the Tunisian systems with the equipment of the US Africa Command Theater
Campaign Plan line of effort. It will allow interoperability with US forces and 
guarantee their security.

According to Ultra, it’s Air Defense Systems Integrator (ADSI®) and Situational 
Awareness Management System (SAMS) will be integrated into the Tunisian Armed Forces
at various locations including the Joint Operations Command Center (JOCC) and will
deliver full-spectrum C2I that serves as a real-time bridge between tactical data
links, sensors, and intelligence data.

ADSI’s family of advanced multi-domain products provides a fused, correlated, real-
time picture of the battlespace required to execute increasingly complex missions.

Multi-domain surveillance with efficient mission planning, rehearsal, execution 
and verification of mission objectives will enhance TAF’s ability to train and react
to these mission objectives.

ADSI had been deployed in over 30 countries, 2500 installations and is one of the
world’s most trusted C2I solutions.

“We are extremely pleased to continue our trusted partner relationship with the 
Navy International Program Office being selected to provide the C2I solution for
the Tunisian Armed Forces. The ADSI’s flexibility and best of class performance 
in providing both the Common Tactical and Common Operational Picture through the
fusion of sensors, intelligence and tactical data links will provide the TAF reliable
and interoperable multi-domain operations across Tunisia,” said Jill Daiber, President
of Ultra, Command, Control and Intelligence. “This effort is yet another example
of Ultra’s dedication to those on the front lines and our international customers
as we ‘Innovate Today for a Safer Tomorrow’.”
