• data collection and reporting contamination and poisoning;
• delivering maps and other topographical documents;
• keeping military action diary, including oral commands recording (apart from automatic entries,
the entries coming from other sources are possible);
• quick search of objects according to given criteria and performing the: ‘find on the map’ or
‘display detailed features’ function on a chosen object.
Within the operational module it is possible to have access to JCOP Client (Joint Common
Operational Picture) application. The application itself is the embedded element of HMS Web Portal,
allowing integration of the two products. Thanks to the HMS Web Portal it is possible to move directly to
chosen location and start JCOP Client within the portal or in the separate window. The JCOP Client allows
an insight into the Common Operational Picture of the situation. The JCOP additionally gives an image of
data coming from other sources (other systems) according to JASMINE Platform data exchange standards
(among others: ADatP-3 in different versions, NFFI, MIP MEM, MIP DEM B.2 and 3, and others).
The next is the G/S5 planning module. Its main functions are the support of the operation
planning process, tactical operations and crisis management. The planning module allows creating
documents resulting from the tasks carried out by the particular uniformed services (assigning realization
of its particular parts to selected units and operators). The drawing up of documents starts with choosing
the stencil and its edition. In case there is no appropriate stencil it is possible to draw it from the scratch.
In this way there is no need of specialists, such as system administrators, tool producers or computer
specialists to prepare the necessary documents.
Moreover, it should be emphasized that thanks to Web browser it is possible to have access to the
drawn up documents (for instance MS Word) without installing appropriate applications in the operator’s
computer (not until their edition).
SUMMARY
The HMS Web Portal is the first possible step to technically integrate different uniformed services.
It is strongly believed that thanks to the C3IS JASMINE System quick development and the entire JASMINE
Platform there are soon going to be developed client applications versions dedicated to particular
uniformed services (military symbols can be easily replaced by the Medical Corps, the Police, the Border
Guard symbols, etc). Additionally, the mechanisms allowing automatization of information collection on
current situation, action planning, tasks assignment and their control (position, resources and alarms) are
easy to be adapted by the uniformed services. Let us hope that by investing in a wide range of native
solutions and promoting our domestic technical ideas the government bodies and decision makers will
regard more favorably the proposed current army solutions and be able to vision them as a common
platform dedicated to uniformed services. The producer of C3IS JASMINE software needs to be supported
before he decides to reply to the foreign clients’ demands.
