EQUIPMENT / CONTROL SOLUTIONS << lightweight


THE BURDEN for dismounted soldiers and Special Forces has just got lighter with the recent launch of Elbit Systems’ Dominator-LD (Light Dismounted) system, a compact, lightweight, all- in-one command and control (C2) solution. Combining the new individual soldier level Dominator-LD with the command level Dominator IICS (Integrated Infantry Combat System) provides fighting forces with a complete and comprehensive solution, well suited for modern battlefield requirements. The Dominator incorporates Elbit’s C41 solution, developed specifically for simple, swift operation in intense combat scenarios. It supports planning, situational awareness, target handling, device connectivity and video / map displays. It also provides command and control functionality for all levels of commands of light infantry forces, along with interface to armoured units, artillery and close air support.


The new solution is based on the vast operational experience accumulated by the Dominator IICS user community, which includes the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), the Australian Army, armies in Latin America and Europe and the Finnish Army. The IDF have used elements of Dominator in their Future Infantry Programme, as a solution for infantry forces in integrated combat. The Australian Army selected parts of the Dominator concept for its Land 75/125 programme, for which Elbit supply, integrate, install and support Battle Group and Below Command, Control and Communications (BGC3) systems for soldiers, vehicle mounted commanders and headquarters/ command Post Staff.


An undisclosed Latin American Army have selected Elbit’s Dominator as well additional Command, Control,

Live communications with base is vital for the dismounted soldier, but he now has to carry more equipment than ever. Lightening the load, however, is Elbit Systems’ small, light and versatile version of its proven IICS Dominator.


Computer and Communications (C4I) systems and Electronic Warfare (EW) systems. The project is a part of this Army’s extensive modernization programme and is designated for all echelons, from the manoeuvring forces up to the command headquarters. Elbit was also selected by the Finnish Army to supply advanced dismounted soldier systems, in the first phase of a comprehensive ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance) programme. Elbit recently launched a new member of the Dominator IICS solution: Dominator-Light Dismounted, which is geared specifically for the tactical dismounted infantry soldier and Special Forces. The new Dominator-LD is a soldier-centric solution, based on the vast experience accumulated by the Dominator IICS solution. While the Dominator IICS is well suited for the command level, the extremely lightweight Dominator- LD is the ultimate command and control (C2) solution for the individual soldier level.


Getting personal


Enabling full situational awareness via network- integrated information systems, Elbit’stechnology provides superb mobility due to its reduced size, weight and power (SWaP). Dominator-LD is comprised of the rugged, all-in-one wearable Raptor computing unit, the Torch –D command and control application and the innovative Tadiran PNR-1000A – a compact, lightweight, personal network radio.


An add-on capability for a comprehensive on- the-move situational awareness picture is the JS Eyepiece handheld display unit. This includes a load cartridge system, a design based on years of experience learned in fielding digital soldier
