Soldiers burdened by 15-plus pounds of batteries — of multiple, incompatible types — could benefit from more efficient, standardized power sources like the Small Tactical Universal Battery.
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.A new “innovation exchange” is being stood up at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., for industry vendors to test solutions for the Army’s yet-to-be-released Unified Data Reference Architecture.
By Jaspreet GillArmy Undersecretary Gabe Camarillo said he was particularly impressed by the service’s adoption of the C5ISR Modular Suite of Standards program, a platform that will allow soldiers to plug in cards embedded with networking and EW capabilities
By Jaspreet GillFrom “tactical microgrids” to an electrified vehicle fleet, C5ISR is gathering data and working out ways old tech and new can be interoperable.
By Jaspreet GillIn this Game Changer, HII cyber experts discuss the importance of optimizing the use of cyber capabilities and electromagnetic spectrum operations to help DoD shut down threats before they can escalate to open conflict.
By Breaking DefenseUnlike a weapon that can be tested, validated, and put on a shelf knowing that it will work when needed, deployed information warfare and cyber capabilities have to be continually tuned and optimized in order to be relevant to the warfighter.
By Breaking DefensePlasan North America says it can help the Army with its ever-increasing struggle to get electricity to the battlefield.
By Plasan North America“NetModX is a great testbed for us to kind of understand how our investments are working out as they graduate from a lab setting and make adjustments as needed to be able to get the most value out of those investment areas that we have,” Joseph Welch, director of the C5ISR Center, said.
By Jaspreet Gill“The electromagnetic spectrum is not officially a domain, but operations on the electromagnetic spectrum are critical in order to realize the different phases of the multi-domain operations,” said one Army researcher.
By Andrew Eversden“There’s capabilities out on the bench, on the floor, sitting out back in the parking lot,” said Army senior executive Michael Monteleone, who founded the Joint Systems Integration Laboratory.
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.The Pentagon’s grand plans for Joint All Domain Command & Control require translating masses of data across incompatible systems. “Unless you get the underpinnings of a foundational data fabric,” Maj. Gen. Peter Gallagher told me, “it will never happen.”
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.The Army will soon hold live-fire tests of an AI that can algorithmically spot targets and aim at them — but a human still has to pull the trigger. Will ATLAS let future tanks fight better with smaller crews?
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.The Army plans to deploy more of the thermal sensors, originally developed to spot targets at night.
