NITEworks

NITEworks (Network Integration Test and Experimentation Works) is an experimental environment that allows the UK Ministry of Defence to assess the benefits of Network Enabled Capability (NEC) and the options for its effective and timely delivery.

Ultra Electronics Command and Control Systems, as an associate member of NITEworks, supported the Indirect Fire Integration theme, carried out in September 2004, by fully integrating the Olympus Planning System into the experiment.

This Theme seeks to identify pragmatic improvements to Equipment, Concepts & Doctrine and Structures could be made in order to maximise performance of the Indirect Fire System with the introduction of extended range precision attack capability within the Land Component Commander's Volume of Operations in the 2006-12 timeframe.
The Olympus Planning System enabled users to manage the airspace by developing and publishing ACOs, as well as viewing real-time entity movement both on the ground and in the air, and pull together all overlays drawn on the other systems within the experiment, to enable briefings to be held around the Electronic Birdtable.
