"NOWA TECHNIKA WOJSKOWA" - 2/2012
(translation)
The proposed solutions (common services that fulfill NATO standards described in NNEC and
various end applications) allow the command support systems integration and are used in Polish Army
and NATO countries. Numerous tests conducted during national and international exercises as well as
high C3IS JASMINE system capabilities appraisal made by its operators and S/G6 communications and
informatics specialists responsible for its preparation, starting, functioning and data archive confirm that.
The main variants of C3IS JASMINE system are:
1. DSS CLIENT (Dismounted Soldier System) – it’s T4 terminal application dedicated to soldier level;
2. BMS CLIENT (Battlefield Management System) – dedicated client application adapted to be used
in mobile command systems on a tactical level, taking into account radio communications; the
user’s interface was adjusted to operate combat vehicles software;
3. HMS CLIENT (Headquarters Management System) – dedicated client application in HMS system
destined for tactical and operational levels to be used mainly on stationary command points;
4. HMS Web Portal – dedicated Web application adapted to be used in WWW browsers.
IS THE INTEGRATION OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES
TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE
Basing on the solutions described here above and according to the author there is a good chance
of integrating, if need be different kinds of uniformed services, both the national ones as well as the allies.
The HMS Portal can constitute a sort of family gate allowing access to information coming from various
sources: military systems, the Police, the State Fire Service, the Border Guard and others necessary to
carry out tasks arising from crisis management at its particular stages. Thanks to its structure the HMS
System allows to operate the command support systems and their integration with the systems of combat
centers management. The SharePoint Platform, on the other hand allows their access to the users, who are
outside the system (other uniformed services) in a flexible and adjustable way, depending on the situation
– (it is possible to form task groups composed of different uniformed services representatives to carry out
particular tasks in case there is an attempt of preventing it or, once it has happened).
The SharePoint functionality is enriched by C3IS JASMINE System offer and can constitute its
‘entry’ for the outside users. It can operate the same way as it currently does in case of C3IS JASMINE
Command Support System (in its DSS, BMS and HMS variants) during NATO and national military
exercises. C3IS JASMINE can be a successful integrator of various other systems and allow their data
exchange. In this way it becomes a decisive element when it comes to cooperation of other systems (in the
area of possible data exchange of different data standards, for instance: MIP Baseline 2 and 1, that didn’t
even cross the designers’ minds; primarily those standards were not to exchange data and in case of
JASMINE it is possible and often used in practice). As far as NATO exercises are concerned these are the
most often command support systems of particular allied countries. In the country, apart from integration
