Use Case | Visual Superiority in the Battlespace

blackned GmbH is a German defense technology company founded in 2009 that specializes in software-based defense solutions and mission-critical communications systems. As a key player in the digitalization of armed forces within NATO countries, blackned's solutions are designed to provide secure, reliable communications in the most demanding environments. blackned plays a key role in the “Digitalization of land-based operations” (D-LBO) project recently awarded by the German Bundeswehr. D-LBO is a key-project in modernizing the land forces of the Bundeswehr and one of the most significant procurement schemes of the German Army.

blackned's TACTICAL CORE provides a future-proof and open framework for implementing digitalization projects within NATO armed forces. The TACTICAL CORE Backpack solution extends this capability to the tactical edge, delivering persistent and reliable connectivity anywhere the mission leads.

With integrated Eyeson's Virtual Situation Rooms, the TACTICAL CORE Backpack enables resilient, interactive, multiparty, and real-time communication between the squad, UxVs, remote C2, or other stakeholders. The OODA loop is simplified, and decisions are made faster at the edge.

Interactive Visual Information Sharing accelerates decision-making, but for this level of collaboration to be truly efficient and resilient in the battlespace, one critical requirement must be met: real-time adaptation to both available spectrum and rapidly evolving operational conditions. Eyeson’s edge-deployed technology enables real-time fusion of visual intelligence, seamless AI integration, and efficient media encoding—all designed for bandwidth-constrained environments. Delivered through programmable interfaces, these capabilities make Eyeson an ideal complement to the Tactical Core

HUMAN-MACHINE TEAMING

Human Collaborative Oversight for Effective UxVs Operations

UxVs, Operators, Squads and C2 can be synchronously connected to the Eyeson's Virtual Situation Rooms (VSRs) hosted in a blackned's TACTICAL CORE Backpack. This capacity provides dynamic awareness and collaborative oversight capability to the teams. Various AI Models can be injected to assist the selection and prioritization of the feeds. Operating a larger number of UxVs is easier and provide powerfull situation awareness.

VIDEO INTEGRATION SIMPLIFIED

VIDEO FEEDS FUSION: Fusion several UXVs feeds into a single Stream managed dynamically.
TRANSCODING: Resolve Codecs compatibility challenges.
DYNAMIC LAYOUT: Add dynamic layers of critical information (Metadata, Maps)

REAL-TIME INTERACTIVE COLLABORATION

Secured Real-time multiparty collaboration between UxVs operators, C2 and squads
