Nordic Radar Solutions<\/a> outlines the ABISS<\/a> \u2013 a radar system that delivers high quality, near real-time weapons scoring data to military customers when operating in extremely demanding environments.<\/h2>\n

Regardless of platform, there is always limited time and budget to train and refine the delivery of weapons. The time spent should therefore be as informative and automated as possible. Having information readily available and delivered in real time allows the pilot to orient their attention towards decision making and acting faster. Currently, however, weapon scoring is very costly and time consuming. Nevertheless, new technology developed by Nordic Radar Solutions looks to provide an answer for these problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, weapon scoring is being performed with excessive human interaction on the ground. Visual identification of impact area, estimation of impact effect, calculating angle of approach, counting fragmentation and analysing probability of kill \u2013 these are just a few of the time-consuming tasks which could be automated,\u201d Per Schmock, CEO of Nordic Radar Solutions, explained.<\/p>\n

As a former military pilot himself, he knows only too well that the pilot is subject to long waiting times either in the air, using valuable time, or forced to land and wait for results in order to receive feedback and try again.<\/p>\n

That was why he and Nordic Radar Solutions set out to develop an advanced radar solution that would enable the fast and objective analysis of the weapon delivery and enable the pilot and on-ground personnel to enhance their training patterns. The Advanced Battlefield Integrated Scoring System (ABISS) has been developed for the specific task of improving weapons scoring in close collaboration with the Royal Danish Airforce. It is a cost-effective multipurpose detection system which assures live and extremely accurate scoring data.<\/p>\n

Current radar systems are often outdated<\/h3>\n

System complexity and requirements to mission operations are the two main reasons why weapon scoring systems have been used insufficiently and with limited effect. The desire to run complex missions with accurate scoring data has historically required very complex systems, resulting in great cost in terms of both operators and equipment. The legacy systems currently installed at weapon scoring ranges throughout the world are often outdated and do not match the weapons or weapon delivery platform.<\/p>\n

Delivery systems and weapons are constantly improved and advanced, however the data collecting equipment supporting their development, and which enable this development to be speeded up and which, in the end, result in more accurate systems in the end, are often neglected.<\/p>\n

The complexity of the system required to run advanced missions involves people stationed at several positions, all of whom are educated on different systems in order to collect sufficient data. Furthermore, several ranges still operate on a manual basis, with visual spotters and manual documentation. In the process of collecting the data, the pilots are often required to enter holding positions in the air, or land and wait for results, resulting in added cost.<\/p>\n

Learning from these things, Nordic Radar Solutions has derived two mission statements:<\/p>\n
