TacNet – Tactical Battle Management System
Modern command and control system for the armed forces
TacNet, the Rheinmetall Battle Management System, is developed to meet the needs of the soldiers at the tactical level. TacNet was designed together with the German Armed Forces and is optimally adapted to the requirements of infantery, dismounted soldiers and Special Forces. Based on Rheinmetall’s knowledge of several years of experience in the development of Battle Management Systems in different applications, we have created a powerful tool for information exchange and situational awareness.
TacNet is the command and control application and the direct software interface for the soldier. In conjunction with the Tactical Core, TacNet networks the units on the battlefield and ensures digital sovereignty through standardised IT security.
As part of the system Panzergrenadier, TacNet is integrated in the German soldier system and IFV Puma for seamless connectivity of the dismounts with their vehicle. Furthermore, TacNet is deployed in allied European countries.
In addition to a Windows-based version, TacNet is available for Android operating systems.
