US Space Force increases efforts to plug training capabilities gaps
The service has been seeking simulation and emulation solutions capable of reproducing multiple in-orbit threats.
Getac on 3 June unveiled its newest 5G-compatible B360 fully rugged laptop which runs on a 10th-generation Intel Core Processor.
Defence applications include situational awareness, C2, tactical communications and maintenance.
An enhanced version (B360 Pro) includes additional specialised options for military personnel.
The B360 is the thinnest and lightest fully rugged Getac laptop, weighing 2.23kg and is 34.9mm thick. Its 13.3-inch LumiBond 2.0 display is designed to ensure maximum usability in all weather conditions and operational environments.
The device also includes a 1,400 nits Full HD display, making it one of the brightest screens in the Getac portfolio.
Chris Bye, president of Getac, said: ‘For the first time, customers across a wide range of industries can enjoy best-in-class speed, brightness and rugged reliability in a single device, without compromise.’
The service has been seeking simulation and emulation solutions capable of reproducing multiple in-orbit threats.
The service has been conducting several acquisition and upgrading efforts involving artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve communication, data analysis and ISR systems.
The Syracuse 4B communications satellite, developed by Airbus and Thales Alenia Space, was launched last year, bolstering secure military satellite communications for the French Armed Forces. Thales has now been selected to provide terminals for vehicles.
The growing importance of space in modern warfare, advancements in satellite technology, and increasing threats from rivals like China and Russia were among the topics of a Eurosatory 2024 panel on military space operations.
AN/ARC-232A is a Starfire radio that provides VHF/UHF communications to airborne platforms and the transceiver is software-programmable, allowing for multiple waveform support as well as optional national electronic counter counter-measure (ECCM) capability.
During the 18-month period of the contract, Lockheed Martin will apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to create surrogate models of aircraft, sensors, electronic warfare and weapons within dynamic and operationally representative environments.
