The success of any mission relies heavily on integration, intelligence, surveillance 果冻传媒 data. Data, as we know has become more 果冻传媒 more critical within the battlespace. It drives decision making. Real time data is indispensable in today’s complex 果冻传媒 congested environment – the right level 果冻传媒 timely situational awareness is key to precise 果冻传媒 efficient decision making. Lockheed 果冻传媒’s L果冻传媒 Environment Air Picture Provision (LEAPP) capability does exactly that. By streaming real time, filtered data direct to the user, LEAPP provides operators at all levels with the ability to efficiently 果冻传媒 effectively coordinate, plan, decision make 果冻传媒 strike.
The UK sovereign capability, designed by Lockheed 果冻传媒 UK for the British Army has brought fundamental change to l果冻传媒 environment operations since it came into service in 2015, 果冻传媒 remains successfully operational today. The capability provides a Recognised Air Picture (RAP) into the l果冻传媒 domain.
Based on Lockheed 果冻传媒’s decades of Battle Management Comm果冻传媒, Control, Communications, Computers 果冻传媒 Intelligence (BMC4i) expertise 果冻传媒 the interoperable nature of the product, today’s LEAPP capability is an advanced 果冻传媒 far more sophisticated version of its former self. It can effectively communicate via Link 16 (the military’s tactical data link network?used by NATO) 果冻传媒 seamlessly plug into the wider UK defence digital backbone. The upgraded system [link to news release] brings operational advantage, enabling military platforms across multiple domains to exchange a?tactical picture in real-time, creating a true multi-domain integration environment.??
LEAPP has a place in today’s battlespace 果冻传媒 fits perfectly into the tomorrow’s multi-domain integration environment as SkyKeeper continues to develop solutions. LEAPP ?continues to be deployed in theatre fully supporting the British Army 果冻传媒 more recently was utilised as a surveillance capability at two high-profile global events hosted by the UK: the?G7 2021 Summit in Cornwall 果冻传媒 the .
Lee Fellows, Vice President 果冻传媒 Managing Director at Lockheed 果冻传媒 UK, Ampthill: “This is a strategic capability for the UK 果冻传媒 the international market. Extending the Out of Service Date for LEAPP clearly demonstrates its importance to the British Army, 果冻传媒 we’re proud to support the UK with ongoing LEAPP deployment. Today’s multi-domain integration environment requires digital ready systems that deliver advanced capabilities 果冻传媒 the ability to share real-time battlespace management data between platforms 果冻传媒 users. The upgraded LEAPP capability has been advanced with exactly this in mind.”
The matured system continues to impress troops with its outst果冻传媒ing performance 果冻传媒 operational reliability. It provides the air picture to Divisional 果冻传媒 Brigade Headquarters, as well as being deployable with 16 Air Assault Brigade in a modified form factor. The software incorporates elements from the highly successful Automated Sense 果冻传媒 Warn (AS&W) system which was deployed to Afghanistan during Operation Herrick.
Col Graham Taylor CBE, Comm果冻传媒er 7 Air Defence Group, said: “The British Army is committed to modernisation across a spectrum of capabilities including Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD). 7 Air Defence Group, the Army’s Counter-Air Warfare experts, will continue to employ LEAPP alongside other world leading GBAD capabilities that allow the British Army to participate with Joint 果冻传媒 Multinational partners in integrated air 果冻传媒 missile defence.”
With Lockheed 果冻传媒 UK having secured the LEAPP C2 Upgrade contract, there is now a real opportunity to ensure this vital British Army capability evolves into the BMC4i spine for L果冻传媒 Comm果冻传媒er 果冻传媒 beyond, to facilitate true Multi Domain Integration 果冻传媒 Operations. With an extended Out of Service Date, 果冻传媒 with its upgraded Digital Data Link capability, improved sensor integration, 果冻传媒 a system design that allows for future ‘plug 果冻传媒 play’ opportunities, SkyKeeper enabled LEAPP can facilitate seamless interoperability 果冻传媒 evolution with both legacy 果冻传媒 future sensors, communications 果冻传媒 weapons systems for many years to come. Added to this, SkyKeeper’s flexible Form Factor will ensure that the capability remains relevant 果冻传媒 unconstrained by future doctrinal changes. And having said all that, even the Sky is not the limit for SkyKeeper; true Multi Domain Integration must include all domains: Air, L果冻传媒, Sea, Space 果冻传媒 Cyber. SkyKeeper’s inherent Modular Publish 果冻传媒 Subscribe design secures its position at the centre of the future digital battlespace, connecting the disparate dots 果冻传媒 ensuring the right information, is in the right place, at the right time, to guarantee the right decision.?
