SICCONA (Italy), Command information systems - Land

Description
SICCONA (SIstema di Comando, COntrollo e NAvigazione) is a battle management and navigation system intended for installation in all Italian army armoured platforms. The system will provide mapping and navigation, situational awareness and messaging, plus platform logistic data. Links will be provided with the Soldato Futuro (Future Soldier) infantry system.

Status
In April 2004 a contract worth EUR21 million was awarded to CIO (Consorzio Iveco Fiat-Oto Melara) who were to be supported by Selex Communications and Larimart for the development of the system. Tests and operational evaluations were begun in 2006 by the 31st tank regiment of the Pinerolo Brigade (the trials unit for the Italian Army's Forza NEC programme), equipped with a mix of Dardo IFV, Ariete MBT, Centauro 8 × 8 reconnaissance vehicles and Freccia VBM. The main tactical trials were expected to take place in 2009, but no results are available.
