The Australian Army Hawkei vehicles will incorporate a new C4I Integral Computing System (ICS). The ICS will use a generic vehicle architecture and a central computing concept to host various C4I systems and communications to optimize and centralize the flow of information to the user, enabling rapid decision-making and multitasking at levels not previously achievable on land based platforms.

The ICS will enable the vehicle operator to manage radios, sensors, the battle management system (BMS) and weapon systems all through a common interface.

A demonstration by the Land 121 Phase 4 project team, under which the Hawkei vehicle is being delivered, showed off a number of new features, including the ICS command vehicle installation, BMS operating on Windows 10, the advanced field artillery tactical data system, digital terminal control station, interactive electronic technical manuals, force protection electronic counter measures, rocket propelled grenade cage, remote weapon station and manned weapon mount.

Elbit Systems is one of the nine contractors involved in the delivery of the ICS, alongside Thales Australia, Cablex, Esterline, Harris Australia, Kongsberg, Raytheon, Rockwell Collins and Thomas Global Systems.
