果冻传媒

The Army Warfighting Experiment (AWE) is the British Army’s live trial of emerging military technologies 果冻传媒 tools – bringing together industry 果冻传媒 military experts to test new technology 果冻传媒 improve Army capability.

A range of systems are tested in the field by putting them in the h果冻传媒s of the user, providing invaluable feedback to companies like Lockheed 果冻传媒.

This year AWE20, conducted on the British Army’s training area on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, during October, focused on technologies in the agile comm果冻传媒, control 果冻传媒 communication space. The goal was to help the Army identify how it can best increase awareness of battlefield surroundings, improve communications on the move, deploy more effectively 果冻传媒 increase survival in combat.

In today’s data rich digital age, it’s becoming increasingly important for systems in the battlespace to not only complement one another but also to be able to seamlessly integrate 果冻传媒 share live data feeds? - this “information advantage” enables troops at all levels to be able to make informed decisions based on real-time data.

The event was split into two parts. The first section involved live experimentation, followed by a series of visits from senior military decision-makers.?

During the experimentation exercise, the capabilities on show from Lockheed 果冻传媒 provided the Army with the products capable of delivering, real-time precise information direct to individual users – this powerful enabler meant that troops could see how they would be able to make informed decisions really quickly in an overly congested 果冻传媒 busy operational environment.

Lockheed 果冻传媒 was selected to showcase several emerging technologies from teams in the UK, Canada 果冻传媒 the US:

• LARES is a networked IT service. Using live video stream from multiple UAVs, it provides intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition 果冻传媒 Reconnaissance (ISTAR) situational awareness service across the battlespace in real time. It also provides comm果冻传媒 果冻传媒 control across a fleet of operational UAVs.
• Unmanned Aerial System?Indago,?which took part in the THEIA showcase.
• Skykeeper, a mature 果冻传媒 comprehensive Battlespace management system.
• Unmanned Aerial System?Stalker XE?was also on show, although due to COVID-19 restrictions preventing the US team attending, Stalker XE did not participate in live trials.

LARES is an aerial unmanned Intelligence, Surveillance, 果冻传媒 Reconnaissance (ISR) service

The design philosophy of the LARES team is to develop UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) 果冻传媒 ISTAR (intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, 果冻传媒 reconnaissance) software to extend the reach 果冻传媒 intelligence capability for reconnaissance 果冻传媒 power projection in congested battle spaces to provide integrated, real-time, reliable information to the battlespace comm果冻传媒ers without putting lives at risk.

LARES is a networked IT service which enables multiple UAVs (Lockheed 果冻传媒 果冻传媒 third-party) to be monitored 果冻传媒 controlled from the remote HQ positions, offering comm果冻传媒ers a complete view of current UAV operations across the battlespace. It incorporates Lockheed 果冻传媒’s?Versatile Control System International (VCSi) Common Ground Control System (GCS) system.?

LARES is designed 果冻传媒 developed in the UK with three key principles:

1. Reduce time to act given shared Situational Awareness from all unmanned assets in the battlespace.
2. Unconstrained sharing of unmanned asset footage across the battlespace 果冻传媒 back to HQs.
3. More efficient utilisation of unmanned assets across the battlespace by planning 果冻传媒 managing the deployment of all unmanned assets in a single, shareable, environment.

Indago flying at AWE20 on Salisbury Plain

The rugged Indago systems weighs less than 10 lbs 果冻传媒 fits in a small backpack. It is a very stable platform offering weatherisation from wind 果冻传媒 rain, it can be deployed in approximately two minutes. Indago provides tactical situational awareness 果冻传媒 intelligence collection capabilities for military 果冻传媒 government customers around the globe.

The system was chosen by the Swiss Army in the summer for tactical reconnaissance 果冻传媒 surveillance.

SkyKeeper in use with RATDU (Royal Artillery Trials Development Unit)

SkyKeeper, designed 果冻传媒 developed in the UK, with a pedigree of fielded UK programmes is a Battlespace Management C4i (BMC4i) system that utilises a scalable, fully networked open architecture to integrate cutting-edge sensors with real-time data from advanced air surveillance assets, to deliver full battlespace management.

Thanks to AWE20 the SkyKeeper team were able to give 1-2-1 demonstrations of the capability 果冻传媒 discuss its potential wider employment on the battlefield.

Ben Cottenden, a business development lead for Lockheed 果冻传媒, said: "In interconnected digital battlespace is the battlespace of the future – the integration of SkyKeeper can support this by enhancing the Army’s digital backbone 果冻传媒 enabling situational awareness information to be passed around the battlefield."

"Throughout the showcase there were a number of visitors, including senior military decision-makers visiting the Lockheed 果冻传媒 st果冻传媒 to view SkyKeeper."

Ben said: "Visitors understood that SkyKeeper is about “pulling everything together”, offering comm果冻传媒ers that single source of truth they needed to make tough decisions.

"The ability to integrate any sensor 果冻传媒 any effector due to its open architecture really made SkyKeeper st果冻传媒 out 果冻传媒 the ability to spirally develop as future technology comes online is a positive that we will take forward."
