Wow ! The South Africans have stopped talking about Nigerian Eagle C2 telephone and TV....

After we showed the their South African air force command post using similar telephone and TV.

Stop mixing different photos dude ! The many computers lined up in that first photo is NOT a vehicle mobile Chaka C2, that photo is a simulator room playing for war games . All we see in a real Chaka C2 MRAP is one single tiny computer !



LOL....we have seen your Chaka C2 data and specs, it is confirmed to be a low capacity C2 platform for commanding ONLY a maximum of 5,000 troops.....it's for brigade level and below on a small piece of land space, maybe just a city.

Nigerian Eagle C2 commands a whole army and a whole air force in a whole battle theater as big as a country, Eagle is 100 times superiror and more powerful than your toy Chaka C2 !!!

This man thinks we have only one single Chaka for a brigade and below. We have procured Chaka for many Brigades and below.


Do you mean this is what commands the whole army?

Show us proof you have 4 Chakas.

Conclusion, one Chaka C2 commands ONLY 5,000 troops. One Eagle commands A WHOLE army + air force combined !

Hey Dumb A** I didn't make anything up your own Source said
"Mobile C2 systems to support
battalion and company commanders, and
location sensors, called "Impi" to track own
forces. The Army wanted enough of these to
support three simultaneous peace support
operations elsewhere in Africa and one
training
exercise at home."

The last time I check a Battalion was larger than a brigade.

Actually it other way around wink, the Chaka C2 system is a brigade and below C2 system, with the mobile Chaka's used for Battalion and below.

A brigade consists out of 5000 troop, thus 4 Chaka systems = 20 000 troops all interlinked/Inter operable thanks to Link ZA.....Overkill considering we will not even deploy more than 5000 soldier even in a full blown war!!

2. Nothing in that article indicates sophistication of the level that the SANDF has achieved

The Nigerian military on Wednesday said the Military
Command and Control Centre (MCCC) in Maiduguri and
Yola will be operational within 21 days.
This was contained in a statement by Col. Sani Usman, the
Acting Director of Army Public Relations in Abuja, who
noted that the military had commenced the installation of
hi-tech equipment and infrastructure development of the
MCCC in Maiduguri and Yola.



Usman said the installations of the equipment and the
posting of the additional staff were to be completed within
21 days when the centre would be fully operational.

He said that with the establishment of the centre, all
strategic and operational decisions on the fight against
terrorism and insurgency would emanate from the MCCC.
“This will ensure faster response time; improve situational
awareness and better coordination of all stakeholders.

It is off course equal to sophistication. All the western Armies particularly NATO forces are using the same system. That means your so called C2 system is backward in every way.

1. No, your article makes no mention of that.

So lets deal with the facts:


Level of Sophistication:

"The level of sophistication used in these systems would ordinarily be expected in NATO or American military use, rather than an African military, yet the C2 training and operational software in use from Saab a "Proudly South African" suite and is one of the brightest beacons for the SANDFs future C2 capability"

So we can see that it is as sophisticated as NATO systems.


Now, lets talk about integration

Brigade/Battalion/Company:

The system architecture the Army sought had to consist of a static C2 system to support brigade headquarters, mobile C2 systems to support battalion and company commanders, and location sensors, called “Impi” to track own forces.


Division Level:
Joint Operations Division that exercises C2 over all deployed forces. "Planning time will be reduced drastically and orders can now be sent instantaneously in near real-time", said Bothma.

National Level:

Saab Systems SA previously also developed and built the heart of SA Air Force's Air Picture Display System (APDS), which is that service's air mission C2 system. "With this new contract SAAB Systems SA adds the landward command and control domain to the existing air command and control domain in one business entity," noted Bothma. "The advantage to the SANDF is that the expertise gained in the air environment is also available for the landward Command and Control domain. Furthermore, Saab Systems SA has already integrated elements of both systems to move towards the achievement of a more integrated joint command and control system for the SANDF."

So there you have it, specific deatils of intergration from the Company level - to battalion - to brigade and then straight to J-OPS with completed intergration of the GBADS systems as well as SAAF APDS

This is no longer a contest for us

A battalion is 400 to 1,000 men depending on the army or country.

Did the story say that Nigerian army general manufactured the equipment? Does he have a factory to manufacture the TV screen, telephone, computers, network routers, power supply batteries, communication antenna, data CPU, and he built the Toyota vehicle by himself too etc ?

He designed the set up, be constructed the arrangement, he decided what was needed and got manufacturers to supply the parts, he probable assembled them into the vehicle. He likely is a highly trained super engineer and a black genius....NO ZULU OR COLORED SANDF OFFICER HAS THAT TYPE OF BRAIN, the whole of South Africa has to be spoon fed their breakfast by Europe, reason why your tactical data link failed, Europe refused to help you as they usually do, to build data link , they refused to transfer the technology, Southie engineers struggled for over 10 years, yet they only managed to produce INTERCOM instead of TDL tactical data link that can work from Submarine to Ship to jet fighter to helicopter to artillery to tanks....

I have always warned you Southies that your so called advanced local defence industry is 80% European made, and the day those white masters pull the lug out, South African defence industry will be reduced to Burundi level
