POSO - Common Operational Picture
The POSO system was designed and constructed to increase accessibility to and capabilities of presenting of the common information on the operational level. It collects data from the C2 systems of the PL Armed Forces services to enhance situational awareness in the decision making process. Data are displayed by the system as the Common Operational Picture (COP). The system is based on modern technologies ensuring possibilities to operate with Internet utilization.
