Why manufacturing critical defense technologies in the US is the linchpin to national security

Breaking Defense visits production lines for made-in-America circuit boards, displays, and missile components.

The network transport layer is the backbone of next-generation command and control

Hybrid communications requirements will shape the Army’s data infrastructure of the future.

Real-time testing and iteration help the Army keep pace with threats

Ability to reconfigure avionics on the fly allows for faster, better development of crucial capabilities.

Next-generation C2 won’t be next-gen without the network transport

The network transport architecture for NGC2 could be a hybrid approach that combines high assurance communications with 5G, WiFi, and multi-orbit satellites.

Changing the game in flight testing; a helicopter that reconfigures avionics in-flight

The future of Army aviation will be avionics flight testing where new code is written and uploaded before the helicopter lands.

Reasons why anti-submarine warfare in the Pacific should be distributed and autonomous

With new-but-proven technologies, the Navy can maintain its undersea dominance even as the strategic landscape grows more complex.

What’s the future outlook for anti-submarine warfare in the Pacific?

Distributed anti-submarine warfare leverages autonomy and advanced comms and networked sensors that already exist.

Accurate sensors are critical for armor units under fire

Maneuver formations face multifaceted threats that include kinetic force-on-force and non-kinetic effects such as electronic warfare.

Crew safety for units under armor: Accurate sensors are the key

Ground platform situational awareness is critical as vehicle crew survivability depends upon it.

Mobile and expeditionary command posts move with Army maneuver forces

Command posts that aren’t mobile are vulnerable to attack from electronic warfare and long-range drones.

Filling the gap: Mobile connectivity for Army maneuver forces

Expeditionary forces jumping from island to island in the Indo-Pacific need a mobile way to command and control from vehicles, hotels, and homes.
