The technological leap represented by the "Fast Road" system is in the speed that it can transfer data and messages, within seconds or less. In each tank connected to the system, an array of data related to what is occurring on the battlefield appears on monitors.
New data appears on the screens within seconds of being received by the system. The device itself is small, taking up little space in the tank.
"There is no doubt that the device improves operational effectiveness and allows for immediate communication without delays," said Lt. Col. Avi Uriel.
The "Fast Road" system also allows for data to be entered in higher volumes and more frequently.
