COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATICS
The article is the voice in the discussion on possibilities of data communication solutions
integration used in Polish uniformed services subordinate to the Ministry of National Defense and the
Ministry of the Interior into one common platform, that will allow their cooperation while carrying out the
tasks connected with crisis management (based on the TELDAT’s company from Bydgoszcz original
solution – HMS Web Portal, as part of network centric data communication platform JASMINE). These are
the author’s own interpretations and conclusions based on the symposium on: ’Data communication
systems in crisis management’ organized three weeks ago by the Institute of Data Communication
Systems of the Army Institute of Management and Command Faculty at the National Defense University of
Warsaw.

THE INTEGRATION OF DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES
The development of IT technology, communications and data communication allows nowadays
the realization of undertakings that not long ago would seem to have been a pure fantasy. The new, rare
ways of using most up-to-date data communication solutions are to be found almost in every sphere of our
lives. One can mention countless examples of ‘intelligent’ devices, such as: three-dimensional printers, 3D
TV with access to Internet, refrigerators ordering missing products for themselves, ‘intelligent houses’
systems, systems supporting taking decisions, etc. It certainly translates into a completely new quality in
the area of communication.
The common purpose of majority of the newest solutions is free information exchange, which are
the greatest value and the reason of creating such a great number of solutions. Ensuring current
information (presented in an adequate and required at a particular time way) at a right time and place
without interruptions seems to be easy only in theory. Practice proves difficulty of such a task and only
few solutions currently offered on the market are able to fulfill all or most of the demanded requirements.
On January 11 th , 2012 at the National Defense University of Warsaw the symposium on: ‘Data
communication systems in crisis management’ was held. It was organized by the Institute of Data
Communication Systems of the Army Institute. During the seminar many interesting subjects were raised.
The main subject matter was the integration of data communication solutions of individual uniformed
services into one common, coherent platform allowing cooperation of the Police, State Fire Service, Life-
Saving Service, Border Guard and Polish Army in order to fulfill crisis management requirements. It is of
great importance as the international mass event – Euro 2012, organized for the first time on such a large
scale in Poland is approaching fast. Among the issues discussed at the symposium there is one worth
mentioning, namely, a very promising tool called HMS (Headquarters Management System) made last year
as a WebPortal version based on Microsoft SharePoint Platform.
