Dominion-X. (Elbit Systems)
The next-generation management operating system enhances autonomy and operational efficiency with open architecture for unmanned systems across multiple domains
Elbit Systems Ltd. announced on February 18 the launch of Dominion-X, its next-generation state-of-the-art autonomous management operating system for unmanned platforms. Dominion-X offers advanced capabilities for planning, operating, and managing diverse robotic platforms and payloads across multiple domains. Built on a robust, proven software stack, Dominion-X maximizes the operational potential of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs). It ensures full terrain dominance, including the above-ground domain, thus enabling a complete C4I system with CUAS infrastructure.
Based on lessons learned from the battlefield and years of accumulative knowledge, the new open architecture operating system can be integrated with a wide variety of platforms and payloads, enabling adaptive, complex, and collective behaviors. This enables unmanned systems to move with immunity and make smarter decisions. Dominion-X fosters human-swarm teaming, facilitating seamless interaction, influence, and behavioral inference. It delivers large-scale, distributed sensing capabilities with advanced information fusion and distillation for superior situational awareness and terrain dominance. Additionally, Dominion-X ensures adaptive, resilient, and efficient sharing and storage of distributed information, even in fragmented operational environments. It simplifies the deployment, support, and maintenance of large-scale unmanned systems, enhancing operational efficiency and system longevity.
