    n a battlespace that has changed
I   completely over the last decade,
    Combat Identification (CID) has beco-
me critical to network-centric
operations.
Full CID capabilities help to build
a Common Operational Picture that
is available to all the vehicles and
systems deployed on the battlefield.
Target identification is a key element
of CID, multiplying combat effectiveness
and preventing friendly fire.

               ATO STANAG 4579-compliant
      N        systems provide protection
               from friendly fire for troops and
      vehicle crews on the battlefield during

      Thales has developed the Battlefield
      Identification Systems (BIS) product line
      including the BIFF, Battlefield Identification
      Friend or Foe, and under MOD funding
      the UK BTID, Battlefield Target
      Identification Device, in full compliance
      with the requirements of STANAG 4579
      to provide reliable, timely and secure
      combat identification.
