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.
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has introduced ADA-O, a variant of the ADA line of systems which addresses GPS jammers to ensure GPS availability for land platforms, the company announced on 4 March.
The system can be readily integrated in a range of platforms including armoured vehicles, artillery, C2
centres and communication carriers.
Boaz Levy, general manager and executive VP of IAI Systems, Missiles and Space Group, said: ‘ADA and its new derivative ADA-O for land platforms is an important complement for every platform that uses GNSS receivers in general and GPS in particular and [is] a vital tool for every modern army.‘Understanding the unique operational needs of land systems allowed us to perform the required modifications on IAI's airborne anti-jam system so as to provide an advanced technological solution to the operational challenges facing the forces in the different platforms.’
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.
