C4I Systems
Atheniem’s founders have an operational C4I background and we continuously use this experience to help our customers find effective solutions.
Our experience extends across many disciplines in the Air, Surface and Land domains and includes: Ground based air defence systems, human factor integrations, network and communication systems, air traffic and detection systems, guidance and attack systems and secure platform identification and navigation systems.
