SystroLab: Opening up the field of possibilities
Future terrestrial operations will be based on the control of complex information and communication systems operating in close synergy. As of today, SystroLab is preparing for these undertakings, bringing together resources to serve innovation.
SystroLab is a recent creation that develops the systronics of the future, namely vetronics extended to mission systems on which future army operations will rely.
Collaborative combat, information networking: future battlefield revolutions
Thales is a champion of vetronics and an essential player in the Scorpion programme, which seeks to increase the combat capabilities of the French forces. The Group is developing technologies that will enable a new optimisation of strategies by means of collaborative combat and revolutionary information networking.
This is the heart of the SystroLab project and seeks to offer each combat system, in this case each vehicle, very precise knowledge of the tactical situation by means of the analytic processing of raw data provided by its sensors, allowing it to adapt to new situations in real time.
An open lab and a catalyst
Designed to develop these complex and innovative systems, SystroLab contributes to the development of an ecosystem whose aim is to accelerate the process of innovation while taking into account the specificities and constraints of the tactical terrestrial domain (stress, unpredictability, immediacy, etc.). More than a high-tech simulation, it is above all a catalyst of resources.
A catalyst of resources because SystroLab is an open lab, open to SMEs, small offices and university labs. It offers new technological opportunities, whether they originate from the defence industry or the civilian world. Hosting new services proposed by these partners and submitting them to batteries of tests, SystroLab is an ecosystem capable of quickly integrating the best useful technology on the market and of validating the relevance of these innovations by means of systematic recourse to the experience of soldiers. Soldiers, who deploy such systems in situations of stress, will be capable of immediately determining the adaptability of these new technologies to different battlefield conditions (deserts, urban combat, dry or humid climates, etc.) by means of a cabin that perfectly reconstructs the interior of a combat vehicle.
