The Air Force Research Laboratory, Thursday announced that it has chosen BAE Systems to enhance and deploy its electronic trauma-recording tool, BATDOK, under the new FORGE-IT, Force Optimization through Rapid-prototyping, Gear Enhancements & Innovative Technology initiative.
BATDOK digitizes battlefield medical records—from injury to recovery—replacing paper logs and ensuring seamless patient data transfer to follow-on care providers. Under FORGE-IT, BAE will integrate remote patient monitoring and AI-driven clinical decision support to further improve field medicine.
Collected data will feed into the Department of Defense's Joint Operational Medicine Information System, unifying care documentation across deployed and home-station facilities. "Projects like FORGE-IT augment warfighters' ability to deliver critical medical care in high-threat scenarios," said Nathaniel Wiesner, BAE Systems' Ground Systems & Services VP.
FORGE-IT underscores BAE's commitment to safeguarding service members on and off the battlefield.
BA. L is currently trading at 1,873.00 GBP, up 23.50 GBP or 1.27 percent on the London Stock Exchange.
