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.
Systematic’s SitaWare Frontline C2 solution has been selected for integration across the Lithuanian land forces’ fleet of future armoured vehicles, the company announced on 9 August.
Sitaware Frontline will be installed on the 88 Boxer infantry fighting vehicles - designated Vilkas - being procured from the German-Dutch ARTEC industrial group. The IFVs will be delivered in four different configurations: squad, platoon, company commander and command post, through to 2021.
SitaWare Frontline provides force tracking information and an automatically updated situational awareness picture that shows the position of forces, danger areas, points of interest and intelligence on an enemy. The system also provides tactical chat, support for high performance mapping and the ability to make and display plans directly on a touchscreen interface. SitaWare Frontline can be integrated on both vehicles and at forward-deployed infrastructure.

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.
