Odin Fire support system
Digital Fire Support for the Modern Warfighter
KONGSBERG presents a fielded and proven Odin FSS configuration which significantly improves the operational capabilities of any artillery or mortar unit. Odin FSS supports multiple fire missions on different weapons platforms simultaneously. The system has an intuitive user interface that addresses all roles from sensor to shooter in a single system.
Odin FSS is a fire support / fire control system fielded in Norway, and includes functionality for all levels of fire support chain of command, from sensor to shooter. It is built upon NATO standards and symbology such as AArty-P artillery procedures, STANAG 4082 (METCM), STANAG 6022 (METGM) and STANAG 4537 (NATO Armament Ballistic Kernel). Odin FSS can utilize any IP based communication solution, which is designed especially for use of tactical low-band radios with a communication solution tailor made for very challenging terrain.
