Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently performed a series of flight tests demonstrating how a system of systems (SoS) approach enables seamless - and rapid - integration across air, space, land, sea and cyber in contested environments. The demonstrations held at the Naval Air Warfare Center in China Lake, California, were part of a five year DARPA program called System of Systems Integration Technology and Experimentation (SoSITE). The flight tests demonstrated interoperability between a ground station, flying test bed, a C-12 and flight test aircraft, and proved the ability to transmit data between those systems using STITCHES, a novel integration technology. The test used the Skunk Works developed Enterprise Open System Architecture Mission Computer version 2 (EMC2), known as the "Einstein Box," as the open computing environment, providing security protections between systems. The Einstein Box enables rapid and secure experimentation before deploying the capability to operational systems. The team successfully demonstrated four key capabilities:
Demonstrating rapid and affordable integration of mission systems into existing and new architectures, SoSITE will help U.S. forces maintain their advantage in today's dynamic world. "The successful demonstrations focused on advancing integration technologies to increase capabilities of systems in operation today, enabling our warfighters to use those systems in unexpected ways," said Justin Taylor, Lockheed Martin Skunk Works Mission Systems Roadmaps director. "The SoS approach is essential for allowing U.S. forces to rapidly reconfigure systems and prevail over any threat." The project was led by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in partnership with the U.S. Air Force and support from industry partners Apogee Research, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, BAE Systems, Phoenix Flight Test, General Dynamics and Rockwell Collins.
Intelsat General Delivers Programming For American Forces Network McLean, VA (SPX) Jul 12, 2018 From its remote beginning as a single Army radio station in Alaska in the early 1940s, the American Forces Network (AFN) has grown into a global operation delivering radio and television programs to more than 1 million military and civilian personnel and their families stationed in 177 countries and at sea. The audio and video feeds originate at a broadcast center in Southern California before going over the IntelsatOne Fiber Network to teleports and points of presence around the globe.
