**The Danish software company Systematic has completed the development phase of SitaWare Battlefield Health and delivered the software to Germany's armed forces, the Bundeswehr, on schedule. This is stated in a [press release from the company](https://systematic.com/int/industries/defence/news-knowledge/news/german-armed-forces-receive-digital-medical-command-control-system-from-systematic/). The software will form the basis of SAFES (Sanitätsdienstliches Führungs- und Einsatzsystem), the Bundeswehr's command system for medical services.**

"In national and collective defence, the evacuation chain determines whether a force can sustain itself. Coordinating it within the same system as tactical command is the result of a partnership in which we have worked on the solution together from the very beginning," says Sven Trusch, managing director of Systematic's German subsidiary.

The system was presented to the Bundeswehr's medical service command, Kommando Gesundheitsversorgung der Bundeswehr (Bundeswehr Medical Service Command), on 27 October. According to the company's [Danish press release](https://via.ritzau.dk/pressemeddelelse/15248450), Germany is the first country to receive the system. The contract value has not been disclosed.

SitaWare Battlefield Health is an add-on to Systematic's command and control (C2) system SitaWare Suite, which the company states is used by NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and more than 50 countries. The German armed forces plan to roll out SitaWare across all domains, and Battlefield Health adds a medical component to the software environment *Mission Enabling Service Bundeswehr* (MESBw). Systematic [announced in October 2025](https://systematic.com/int/industries/defence/news-knowledge/news/german-armed-forces-introduce-digital-medical-system-for-casualty-and-patient-management) that the Bundeswehr had purchased a comprehensive licence for the system.

The system covers the entire tactical evacuation chain. At the tactical level, patients are documented, transport requests are managed, and medical evacuations (MEDEVAC) are coordinated. At the command level, emergency medical data, patient management, and patient tracking are brought together in a medical common operating picture, the *Recognized Medical Picture* (RMedP), which is integrated into the joint common operating picture. The software is designed to make use of the Bundeswehr's existing infrastructure and command systems.
