HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MORE PROMINENT COMPANIES AT THE MSPO CONTINUOUSLY EXPANDING AND INCREASINGLY VISUALLY ATTRACTIVE PAVILION, LEAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THE SLOGAN "OUR REALITY IS YOUR FUTURE" Thanks to this platoon design, an FTF can provide autonomous recon- naissance out to 50 km and, on the basis of that situational aware- ness, engage enemy targets with the assets carried by the individual vehicles. The platoon's capabilities can be increased by using trailers attached to the vehicles. The Future Task Force can be used not only for recon- naissance and strikes, but also on patrol, logistics, or even casualty- -evacuation missions from the battlefield. Command Vehicle The platoon command vehicle is a strictly crewed, armoured vehic- le with high off-road capability. It is equipped with devices that allow operation of the other platforms and their systems at distances of several or a dozen kilometres (and, when using airborne or maritime signal retransmission, even several dozen kilometres). In addition to its two-person crew, the C2 vehicle also has seating for the drivers/operators of the manned–unmanned vehicles. During a mission they occupy seats inside its protected interior. The vehicle is, of course, also fitted with a ZMU-05 remote weapon module for self-defence, smoke-grenade launchers and a suite of communications equipment. Combat Platforms The manned–unmanned vehicles share the same chassis carrier but lack armour, and their cargo area is fitted with modular equipment. Outside the battlespace they operate like ordinary driver-piloted cars. They are homologated for public road use. Combat tasks are performed in unmanned mode. In that case the driver-operator mo- ves into the command vehicle and the vehicle's cab is folded down to reduce its silhouette. Integration with EYEQ The FTF platoon uses the EYEQ system, a C4ISR system that em- ploys artificial intelligence algorithms. It is used for reconnaissance, identification and threat assessment in real time, and supports tar- get-finding processes based on defined rules of engagement (ROE). EYEQ is also used for detection, identification and classification of military objects in real time. The system combines proprietary so- ftware and computational modules: EYEQ AIR — for UAS, and EYEQ LAND — for land vehicles. They can be integrated with battle mana- gement systems or fire-control systems over any communications system. EYEQ can simultaneously collect data from multiple video streams of different parameters, and the information obtained about detected objects, their positions, estimated distance and movement direction is sent to the user application in the form of metadata.
