Collins Demos Networked Multi-Domain Joint Fires

December Demo Supports US Army’s CJADC2 Efforts

Collins Aerospace has demonstrated a series of potential applications for resilient networking, intelligent sensing and secure autonomous processing during two days of events at the University of Iowa’s Operator Performance Laboratory.

The demonstrations took place in December, and “showcased how integrated technologies and joint connectivity can provide … actionable data and increased situational awareness,” the company stated. Over a dozen technologies were integrated into an “operationally relevant joint force use case” during the demonstrations, which included three representative types of aircraft on a DILR (detect, identify, locate and report) mission.

In the demonstration, a representative example of the US Army’s forthcoming FARA (Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft – a programme to develop a successor to the OH-58 Kiowa scout helicopter) was equipped with Collins’ Rosetta message processing software, Infami sensor management framework, and SecureOne multiple level security system, and these combined to process and separate target information to multiple security levels. Appropriate data were then seamlessly provided to both real and simulated ground and air platforms, and exchanged over four live networks. Simulated ground and air shooters then engaged accordingly.

This is the bedrock of success for CJADC2,” Collins Aerospace’s VP of CJADC2 (combined joint all domain command and control) demonstration and experimentation, Elaine Bitoni, said. “Being able to do this instantly and securely at the tactical edge, over multiple networks, were the highlighted differentiators brought to light in our demonstration.”
