Elbit Systems Sweden Launches THMS Networking Platform at DALO

Elbit Systems Sweden AB, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., will introduce its new Tactical High Mobility Shelter (THMS) at the DALO Industry Days 2026, held from August 19–20 at the MCH Messecenter in Herning, Denmark. Designed to support digitally connected and distributed land forces, the THMS serves as a highly mobile battlefield networking platform that acts as a forward communication and sensing node. The system extends both line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) connectivity to support operational coordination across maneuvering forces. Recently presented to European and NATO customers during a large-scale field demonstration, the mature, ready-to-deploy system proved its ability to maintain resilient communications and operational continuity in complex and contested environments.

Self-Contained Mobility and Modular Payloads
Developed and manufactured in Sweden utilizing a European supply chain, the THMS is engineered to withstand extreme weather and Arctic climates. It operates as a fully self-contained unit featuring integrated power generation, which enables autonomous operation for up to 24 hours independent of its host vehicle. Compatible with both wheeled and tracked platforms, the system features an automated telescopic mast that deploys up to 25 meters—utilizing a unique automatic guying rope system—allowing setup in under five minutes.

This capability enables armed forces to rapidly establish elevated communication and sensor coverage without fixed infrastructure, supporting payloads of up to 100 kg. Thanks to its modular architecture, the multi-role platform can integrate a wide range of mission systems, including tactical communications, electronic warfare (EW), electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors, SATCOM, tactical 5G, and high-power laser (HPL) capabilities. Tobias Wennberg, CEO of Elbit Systems Sweden, emphasized that future land operations depend on connecting dispersed forces in real time, and the THMS is engineered to provide that critical next-generation connectivity.

Additional Context
This section provides technological and market background not explicitly detailed in the original release.

In modern multi-domain warfare, static command posts and fixed communications infrastructure are highly vulnerable to precision strikes, drone swarms, and advanced electronic warfare (EW) detection. To ensure survivability, NATO and allied land forces are increasingly transitioning toward highly dispersed, mobile command and control (C2) nodes that can rapidly relocate to evade targeting. Systems like the THMS address this tactical requirement by combining self-sustaining power generation with rapid deployment mechanisms, drastically reducing the physical footprint and setup time of forward operating bases. By elevating sensors and radio antennas up to 25 meters, these mobile shelters overcome terrain masking to maintain resilient BLOS mesh networks, ensuring uninterrupted situational awareness for maneuvering brigades operating in hostile or austere environments.
