It covers the full range of missions in which safety, security, and defense tasks are performed.

TACTICOS has been designed to fully support the command team in each stage of a naval operation. This includes assessing and monitoring the tactical situation, planning and coordinating actions, as well as controlling integrated sensors and weapons.

TACTICOS features capabilities for data collection and tactical picture compilation to present information in a Tactical Display Area (TDA). The TDA displays real-time situation awareness, which enables an operator to respond stringently when actions are needed.
