The Future of Situational Awareness Solutions for Tactical Forces

Israel, September 29, 2025 -- In today’s complex battlefield environment, tactical commanders must be able to make rapid decisions and manage missions independently. Reliance on higher headquarters often means depending on scarce resources. It takes time to request allocations, receive approval, and get prioritized. In fast-moving operations, that delay can make the difference between success and failure.

By contrast, when commanders in the field are equipped with the tools for self-sufficiency, they can act immediately. Local activation by the commander on the ground is always more effective. Today, that is finally becoming possible.

This shift highlights a critical need: to achieve tactical mission effectiveness, commanders in the field require more than traditional command-and-control structures. Local intelligence, real-time coordination, and direct access to operational capabilities are essential for mission success, all brought together in a tactical mission enhancement platform, such as ASIO’s Orion (OLAR in the IDF), which has been consistently proven in battlefield conditions over recent years.

Independent Command and Unified Intelligence

Modern conflicts demand that tactical commanders maintain the ability to act decisively without waiting for instructions from HQ. A mission enhancement platform provides the tools to build a full picture of the operational environment, turning dispersed data into actionable insight. With this independence, forces on the ground can maneuver faster and safer, strike with precision, and sustain momentum.

Fragmented intelligence often slows missions and increases risk. A robust situational awareness solution consolidates multiple inputs - from tactical sensors, aerial reconnaissance, and ground forces, into one shared picture, commanders eliminate blind spots. The result is a unified view of the battlefield that strengthens coordination and reduces uncertainty.

Firepower and Mission Continuity

One of the most critical advantages of this kind of platform is the option to manage fire support precisely when the situation demands it. Commanders can choose to coordinate supporting assets themselves, rather than waiting for approval from higher authority. This flexibility allows autonomy when speed matters, while still leaving room for integration with HQ when broader coordination is required.

Adversaries increasingly use electronic warfare, cyberattacks, and GPS denial to cut tactical units off from their chain of command. In these moments, mission continuity depends on a commander’s ability to operate independently. Orion enables this independence by providing a self-sufficient solution that maintains situational awareness and control, even when external communications are disrupted. These capabilities also support GPS denied solutions for drone navigation, ensuring continuous control in contested environments.

Flexible Self-Sufficiency and Decision-Making

Self-sufficiency is not always absolute. Some missions require full independence, while others benefit from shared intelligence and coordination across multiple echelons. A tactical mission enhancement platform allows commanders to adapt, choosing complete autonomy when necessary, or synchronizing with allies and higher HQ when cooperation strengthens the mission outcome.

Ultimately, success on the battlefield comes down to speed and accuracy. With situational awareness tools, tactical commanders can make better, faster decisions that are aligned with their forces in the field. This isn’t only about generating a 3D model of the battlefield, it’s about ensuring efficiency, survivability, and shared understanding between commanders and their units, which directly enhances tactical missions.

Orion (OLAR): Combat-Proven Mission Enhancement

ASIO’s Orion solution, known within the IDF as OLAR, is a combat-proven system deployed across more than 20,000 endpoints, supporting hundreds of companies and dozens of combat battalions over several years. Fully integrated into IDF operations, Orion provides tactical commanders with a real-time situational awareness platform that fuses intelligence, firepower, and unit coordination into a unified operational tool. When independence and mission continuity matter most, commanders rely on Orion to deliver.

Advanced situational awareness solutions equip commanders with the independence to control intelligence, firepower, and mission flow directly from the field. By leveraging a tactical mission enhancement system like ORION, tactical forces can achieve higher levels of resilience, adaptability, and effectiveness.

In an environment where the pace of combat is accelerating and the risks of disconnection are real, one thing is clear: efficient combat solutions for tactical forces begins with giving commanders the tools to act decisively - anywhere, anytime, without compromise.
