Star – Pan
The STAR-PAN soldier-worn
multiport power and data hub
designed for joint terminal air
controller (JTAC) and special forces
operators is being shown by Glenair.
They are used for critical missions
such as digitally aided close air
support (DaCAS).
The ongoing evolution of DaCAS
missions requires corresponding
improvements in battery power
management for the broad
range of electronic equipment,
so that the mission time, weight
distribution and supply logistics of
the dismounted soldier ensemble
remain fully optimised. This is
never more essential than in border
protection missions, which can
last from 12 to 72 hours.
STAR-PAN enables soldiers to make the most of
C4ISR devices, improving situational
awareness, surveillance, intelligence
and reconnaissance. SA Artillery
