Capabilities demonstrated support for the
U.S. Army's Mission Command On-The-Move concept and the Air Force
Research Lab
PHILIPPINES, July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Collins Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE:
RTX) business, successfully demonstrated mobile, distributed
command and control during a series of fires, networking and
mission command experiments at INDOPACOM's Valiant Shield
exercise.
Collins partnered with the U.S. Army's 1st
Multi-Domain Task Force to conduct the experiments—inside a ground
vehicle—to rapidly reconfigure and deploy capabilities based on
evolving mission needs. The mission command 'on-the-move' concept
uses commercial and military communications networks to provide
access to multiple intelligence sources. To 'make sense' of the
data from various sources, the company used an AI/ML battle
management software. This created fused situational awareness that
can be shared with bilateral and joint force partners.
"Mobile command and control capabilities give battle management
operators and commanders the ability to replicate fixed site
capabilities at the very edge of the fight," said Elaine Bitonti, vice president and general
manager, Connected Battlespace & Emerging Capabilities for
Collins Aerospace. "Our agile, distributed demonstration concept
provides the Army with the ability to maintain Mission Command
On-the-Move."
Valiant Shield is a biennial field training that builds
real-world proficiency in sustaining U.S. forces through detecting,
locating, tracking, and engaging units at sea, in the air, on land,
and in cyberspace in response to a range of mission areas.
