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.
Luciad, the market leader in high performance visualization for Situational Awareness applications is pleased to announce the official release of its new, innovative product: LuciadMobile.
LuciadMobile enables rapid development of Geospatial Situational Awareness applications on mobile devices running Android.
LuciadMobile has been specifically designed for the development of applications in the Defense and Security domains. Luciad has been in close contact with users and experts in these domains and together defined the requirements that satisfy the needs of the Soldier in the Field. As a result special attention has been given so as to integrate the individual soldier in the full command and control mission, and as a result improve the command execution, and security.
LuciadMobile offers the Integrated Soldier the ability to access, update, and send back information and intelligence in both online and offline environments. The following capabilities are examples, which demonstrate LuciadMobile's value for optimal usage in the field:
· Full integration with Android to offer use of camera, compass and GPS.
· Support for Defense and Security relevant symbologies such as MS2525C and APP6B.
· Smooth transition from online to offline environments and vice versa. Capabilities remain available in disconnected mode.
· Fuse, visualize and share any Geospatial information to create optimal Situational Understanding.
As with all Luciad products, design standards are meticulously applied. The clean design of this product allows customers to quickly integrate Geospatial Situational Awareness into their applications. LuciadMobile is designed to be easily extendable by developers so as to provide the capabilities to match current and future requirements.
"The LuciadMobile product is a clear winner for our mobile application developments" commented Alain Gauthier, Director of the JC2ISR Delivery Center at Thales Canada, Defence and Security Division. "LuciadMobile brings us rapid development, easy customization and reliable use in disconnected environments. This allows us to quickly meet our needs and those of our end users".

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.
