- Speed, Accuracy, Interoperability, Cross-Domain
General Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace provides Warfighters a world class fire support system through ODIN FSS, ensuring both speed and accuracy on the complex, modern battlefield. The System ODIN FSS is a fire support / fire control system in use by Norway, and includes functionality for all levels of fire support chain of command, from the 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 basically any IP based communication solution, but is designed especially for use of tactical low-band radios with a communication solution tailor made for very challenging Norwegian terrain. Flexible Configuration ODIN FSS will automatically utilize of connected radios (or other means of communication) and build up an understanding of the network topology and connectivity status of other ODIN FSS nodes in the entire network, and ensure that data messages can be sent between all connected ODIN FSS users.

Odin FSS Architecture The functionality on Odin FSS is based on the philosophy that information is entered into the system at one place only and then distributed to other actors that require the information.
Odin FSS software is designed using open standards. Data Distribution Services (Intercom DDS) is used as middleware. Adapters are implemented for all external systems, ensuring mapping between the adapters and the physical device attached and the internal data model. This enables low-cost integration of new external systems. Odin FSS can be installed and run on one physical computer, as long as all systems to be integrated are either directly coupled to the computer or available on a local network (LAN).
