The digital battle network will be powered by Northrop’s advanced mission systems and AT&T 5G and will bring together high speeds, low latency and cybersecurity protections of private 5G networks to support DoD’s JADC2 vision.
The experiment is expected to eventually lead to the wholesale replacement of the Air Force’s slow, cumbersome and ineffectual network with a modern, commercially procured one with improved speed, security and functionality.
With potential adversaries no longer predictable, training must move beyond just live exercises and flight simulators.
Launching drones/blimps as communication relays after disaster would do more harm than good, say AT&T, Sprint, & APCO: http://politi.co/MiSVqJ SydneyFreedberg
