World Defense Show 2026: Northrop Grumman to present improved C2 management system
The Northrop Grumman Integrated Battle Command System is in service with Poland and the US Army with another 20 countries believed to have expressed an interest.
Lockheed Martin’s Cyber Solutions division has developed Henosis, a joint integrated cyber mission system prototype, to compete for the US Air Force’s Unified Platform contract, the company announced on 6 March.
The Henosis prototype is designed to incorporate and integrate cyber effects into multi-domain air, land, maritime and space operations. Comprising a system of systems, it functions as a command and control battle management visualisation tool that coordinates defensive and offensive cyber operations, and cyber ISR.
Henosis allows operators to gain access, develop their operational mission requirements and build a customisable application package to execute their specific mission.
Deon Viergutz, vice president of Cyber Solutions, Lockheed Martin, said: ‘We completed an in-depth engineering analysis with our prototype and over the next year, we will combine our framework with the mission modules to demonstrate a capability to execute both defensive and offensive cyber missions.
‘With the right weapon system in place via the Unified Platform, the cyber mission force can rapidly and effectively exploit the convergence of cyber and electronic warfare – such as radio frequency, infrared and radar – to truly change the 21st century battlefield.’

The Thales DigitalCrew package, first unveiled at last year’s Defence IQ International Armoured Vehicles conference, is designed to merge imaging and apply a layer of decision-making and observation algorithms to support crew and other personnel.
Nomad can provide militaries with real-time intelligence, saving critical time on the battlefield.
Taurus operates alongside the Israel Defense Forces’ Orion system which supports mission management across tens of thousands of manoeuvring forces, from squad leaders to battalion commanders.
The plan for the new displays follows fresh investment in Kopin’s European facilities by Theon and an order for head-up displays in fielded aircraft, with funding from the US Department of Defense.
Persistent Systems received its largest ever single order for its MPU5 devices and other systems earlier this month and has already delivered the 50 units to the US Army’s 4th Infantry Division.
