One of the questions the Army's ISR Task Force is grappling with regard to sensing is how best to "leverage the vast proliferation of commercial satellite providers," said task force director Andrew Evans.
Why edge and endpoint security can’t be an afterthought.
Typhon, also called the Mid-Range Capability, is designed to hit targets between the ranges of two other high-profile Army weapons.
The experimental tech would directly alert soldiers on the ground when GPS signals have been disrupted.
"So we're confident we get past 499 and probably further if we hadn't lost telemetry," Gen. Mike Murray said at Project Convergence.
The European Theater Fires Command was deactivated in 1991 after the signing of the INF. Now the Army views is as critical to long-range fires in multi-domain operations.

The nominee for Army Secretary also aims to end “friction” between civilian acquisition officials and Army Futures Command, she told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon can fly over 2,775 km, an Army official told Breaking Defense. That figure probably applies to the Navy’s CPS version as well.
The Army will create new field artillery battalions in its heavy divisions, armed with the new Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) armored howitzer. It's part of a plan to add new Long-Range Precision Fire weapons at every level of command.
