ISW (Interactive Software), a Romanian-owned software technology company and a market leader in the Land Forces segment, announces it has surpassed the threshold of 50 command posts equipped with command and control software platforms delivered to the Romanian Army and over 4,000 operational command and control workstations on tactical platforms, in command posts, and for the individual soldier. In addition to these, ISW has five major programs underway in partnership with global integrators such as GDELS, L3Harris, Otokar, and Leonardo DRS, alongside two research and development programs funded by the European Defence Fund (EDF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All these systems run on the BC2A\u00ae suite, ISW's flagship product, developed entirely in Romania, with source code and intellectual property rights owned by the company. BC2A\u00ae is operational at the Ministry of National Defense level, from the dismounted soldier to the joint commands, and is continuously aligned with NATO standards and the Federated Mission Networking (FMN) concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A portfolio built with the Romanian Army<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201eToday, we have over 50 command units equipped with command-control software platforms delivered to the Romanian Army and over 4,000 command-control workstations in operational use within the Ministry of National Defence, from the soldier to the joint command. This is not a final destination. It is the starting point from which we are building the next stage: positioning ISW as a reference European provider for C2 solutions, in the context of SAFE and EDF programs,\u201d said Marian Iv\u0103nescu, General Manager and co-founder of ISW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Continued NATO presence since 2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n ISW has participated uninterruptedly in the CWIX (Coalition Warrior Interoperability eXercise) interoperability exercise since 2007. This year marks the 17th consecutive participation. At CWIX 2025, the Romanian capability equipped with BC2A\u00ae operated as a Multinational Corps in the Land Force Focus Area operational evaluation exercises, and the BC2A\u00ae suite was validated for FMN Spiral 3 and 4 for Land C2 information exchange, for MIP 4 and Friendly Force Tracking services. BC2A\u00ae is listed in NATO records as Romania's national command and control solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n C2 software platforms were first operationally deployed at operational command levels during the NATO MNC-SE certification exercise (Defender 2021). Currently, the BC2A\u00ae Suite is ubiquitous in exercises such as Cetatea, Dacica, Getica (2020), Histria (2022), EuropeDefender 2023, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two steps towards Europe: industrial partnerships and EDF<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond the national market, ISW is active in two major research and development programs funded by the European Commission, through the European Defence Fund. Both programs bring together entities from over 12 countries and focus on developing the next generation of European armored fighting vehicles. ISW contributes to the development of the BMS (Battle Management System) solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the industrial level, ISW collaborates with leading integrators: GDELS-Romania (Piranha 5), L3Harris (JLTV, ABRAMS), Leonardo DRS (ABRAMS), and Otokar (4\u00d74 Cobra II).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Competitive advantage: NATO rigor, local specificity, in-country language support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n BC2A is designed based on the specifications of existing weapon systems and sensors within the MOD's C4ISR architecture. The company owns the source code and intellectual property rights to the product, which means a secure supply chain for the entire lifecycle, continuous development capability for new sensors, weapon systems, and AI-based solutions, plus specialized training, technical support, and maintenance services in Romanian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BC2A Application Suite<\/strong> it is present in essential programs for the digitalization of the Land Forces and for the integration of NATO capabilities. Among the completed or ongoing projects are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n PIRANHA 5 (2020\u20132028): over 200 complete command-control C2 systems integrated onto armored vehicles, delivered by GDELS Mowag to the Romanian Ministry of National Defence.
