Elbit Systems introduces Cpnet (Common Picture Network), a new portable and light weight Common Operational Picture solution, fully integrated as a stand-alone C4I system.

Cpnet provides its users with intuitive shared Situational Awareness due to the fact that all of the network members, airborne, naval and ground, are shown on a digital map in a user-friendly manner. Additional information, such as mission plan and target information is shown transparently.

The system enables its users to share their video sources, providing all mission participants with an immediate and common understanding of the situation.

In its basic configuration, Cpnet requires no permanent installations or modifications of the platform as it is portable and ready-to-go from the moment it is carried on board.

A more robust configuration is available, providing long distance communication cover and an integrated cabin display approach. Cpnet is compatible with a variety of data link protocols and interoperable with a wide spectrum of radios.

The system is suitable for a wide range of networking applications such as Search and Rescue, Firefighting, Border Control, Close Air Support and more.

It enables heterogeneous teams that usually have cumbersome and difficult communications to act as a single close-knit unit, avoiding unnecessary operational errors and improving the forces' affordability and successful mission completion.

Cpnet draws on Elbit Systems vast experience in military and non-military command and control systems as well as its world wide leadership position as a supplier of C4I helicopter systems and multifunctional displays.
