USAF's push to integrate advanced data-linking capabilities into its fleet marks a pivotal shift in ensuring operational readiness & strategic superiority. As connectivity becomes increasingly critical in modern warfare, equipping cargo & tanker aircraft with robust networking solutions is essential. CRG Client Opportunities & SME Advice: 1. Comprehensive Connectivity Solutions: Implement modular, roll-on/roll-off connectivity kits that provide secure line-of-sight (LOS) & beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) comms. These kits should incorporate advanced antennas, radios & servers to ensure seamless integration & minimal latency. - Differentiator: Utilizing modular solutions allows for rapid deployment & flexibility across various aircraft types, enhancing situational awareness & operational efficiency. 2. Enhanced Data Management Systems: Develop & deploy data management systems that can handle large volumes of information in real-time. These systems should be capable of integrating with existing aircraft systems to provide comprehensive data analysis & situational awareness. - Differentiator: Advanced data management systems ensure real-time data processing & dissemination, providing critical information to C2 centers. 3. Secure Communication Networks: Establish secure communication networks that leverage both military & commercial satellite systems. These networks should be designed to operate in contested environments, ensuring reliable connectivity under all conditions. - Differentiator: Secure networks enhance mission C2, providing resilient communication pathways even in degraded environments. 4. Interoperability with JADC2 Initiatives: Ensure that data-linking solutions are fully interoperable with the Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) architecture. This includes compatibility with tactical data links and C2 echelons across the joint force. - Differentiator: Interoperability with JADC2 initiatives ensures cohesive operations & streamlined command structures. 5. Advanced Training Programs for Crews: Develop comprehensive training programs that prepare aircrew & support personnel to operate & maintain new connectivity systems.

With the advent and growing potential of digital tools, access to information today is, more than ever before, a decisive resource for effective orientation within all everyday contexts. The so-called “infobesity” highlights the pervasive nature of #data within a continuous and uncontrolled flow of information and also impacts the applications used for #Defence. The achievement of #InformationSuperiority thus becomes a strategic matter, leading to a need to use ever-more sophisticated and innovative systems for data collection, analysis and dissemination that can aggregate not just military but also context-related information. To achieve these objectives, Leonardo has developed the Joint Operation Centre (#JOC) to support the Italian Command for Joint Operations (Comando Operativo di Vertice Interforze - #COVI) in its functions of planning, coordinating and conducting both national and extranational operations that impact all operational domains. The JOC-COVI programme aims to strengthen the Joint Operations Headquarters’ operational capabilities in terms of flexibility, speed, effectiveness, and efficiency by creating an info-ecosystem powered, or primed for future integration, by advanced and highly innovative technologies such as #ArtificialIntelligence, and #DeepLearning that enable multi-domain and multi-class connections.

At long last Canada has released its Defence Policy Update (DPU). On #DigitalTechnologies: "We will make full use of our digital technologies by overhauling outdated and analog processes to improve our ability to hire people, conduct security screening, and share information in a timely way. This includes expanding the use of artificial intelligence-driven data management tools, initiatives to advance big data management, acquire analytical tools, and expand cloud-based computing on open and secure networks." On #UAS "To provide the Canadian Armed Foces with the speed and airlift capacity to assert Canada's sovereignty and respond to natural disasters and emergencies throughout the country, we will acquire a more modern, mobile and effective tactical helicopter capability. This capability may include a mix of crewed and uncrewed aircraft that will ensure Canada has modern aircraft to contribute to international operations with allies, including against threats from militaries with advanced capabilities."

Will you be attending #DPRTE 2024? Don’t miss your chance to hear from some of our defence experts, including DE&S CEO Andy Start, discussing the latest topics in defence procurement and how we’re harnessing the expertise of SMEs to deliver more for defence. We’ll be discussing: 👉 Emerging disruptive technology. 👉 How we’re forming strategic partnerships with industry. 👉 AI enabled predictive maintenance. 👉 Using spiral development for remotely piloted air systems.

In 2024, we expect to see the five defence domains (land, air, sea, cyber and space) move towards an integrated force based on data sharing and edge processing, similar to an enterprise data services model. Moving each of the domains away from being platform orientated and towards a service orientated architecture approach with timely, actionable and mission-critical data and intelligence as the driving force. However, such progress is only possible with cross industry, government and international collaboration, to build collaborative cultures, establish resilient standards and implement technology to bring Multi-Domain Integration to life. As revealed in our recent research that found defence decision makers acknowledge both government (58%) and industry (57%) should play a role in providing resources to develop and implement MDI strategies. #MavenScouts #Land #Air #Sea #Space #Industry
