BMS (Battlefield Management System) is to be created, among others, Asseco, Military University of Technology and specializes in cooperation with the military Teldat. In short we can say that it is a system that supports the process of proving, facilitates contact between commanders and all combat vehicles - information is provided on a regular basis. In addition, the most modern systems have the same prompt each battle chariots optimal way to perform a task. The problem is that so far in the world, no army comprehensive solution in this matter not lived to see. Operate systems, which in real time shows the location of their own troops and those of the enemy, but operationally the full program of command individual cars has yet to deploy to anyone.

- Establishment of a national "Consortium BMS" creates huge opportunities for equipping the Polish army in IT system support commanders and soldiers on the battlefield, which significantly increases their ability to command, destruction and survival on the battlefield - explains Professor. Andrew Najgebauer, Manager of Research Modelling, Simulation and Information Decision Support in situations of conflict and crisis in the Military Technical Academy. - Many years of experience scientific team in modeling, simulation and decision support in conflict situations with the Institute for Information Systems WAT, which I have the pleasure of guiding, can also contribute to the success of this project - adds the scientist.

- The tender for the BMS is the first such large tender for systems of this type in the history of the Polish army, as not only we, but also other companies have not had the opportunity before something similar for her to do. It can be said that Asseco comes a big step in the military sector - says Zdzislaw Wiater, Director Vertical public administration Asseco Poland. In 2014. 24 per cent. the group's revenues came precisely from the broadly defined public institutions and are not necessarily the Polish - more than 70 percent. the group's revenue comes from abroad. Although it is difficult to estimate how much value can have this contract, it is known that integrated command support and battlefield imaging Ministry of Defence until 2022. Wants to spend almost 6 billion zł.

Establishment of a consortium (Asseco is its leader) is an example of how a company from Podkarpacie, whose main customers so far are banks, increasingly becomes interested in military service. Currently, its representatives take part in several technical dialogue announced by the Inspectorate of Armaments (this is based on these conversations created after a detailed tender specifications). This should include the gate type B - a system ensuring exchange of information between networks classified, a system of electronic distribution of cryptographic keys or drone systems for vertical take-off and landing. In the latter case, it is a joint venture with the Military Institute of Armament Technology in Zielonka and the company Cedar. Engineers Asseco also talk about the system or image analysis system at the brigade command, code-named "Willow" (in this case they act together with T-Radwar and Signity).

- That, in what projects for Polish troops were involved, Asseco will depend on the specific invitations to tender related to the military sector. That's why we monitor it on a regular basis. But we also R & D projects and develop products that meet the needs of the army. An example is our ground control system for unmanned platforms (ie. GCS), which is also part of an innovative training simulator - explains Zdzislaw Wiater with Asseco. - While there are companies in the country that can boast a long history of building airframes, Asseco undoubtedly is a company with unique competencies that can take on the burden of maintaining and developing software, GCS, obtained in connection with the transfer of technology - he added.

Positively entry by Asseco in the area of ​​defense assesses Dominik Kimla with Avascent consulting firm that specializes in zbrojeniówce. - This decision is entirely rational from a business point of view and will broaden the company's operations. If we look at the global trend, it's traditional reinforcing take over the company in the areas of IT. So they do, among others, giants like BAE Systems and Raytheon. All through the growing role of IT and cybersecurity systems weaponry - expert explains and adds: - Revenue and Asseco capabilities are much greater than, for example. Polish Armaments Group. So although international competition as Cisco and Lockheed Martin does not sleep, the advantage in bidding on the Vistula is the fact that Asseco is the company's Polish. Therefore, the participation of this group in the security market can grow.
