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.
A Polish signals battalion will become the first NATO unit to receive the NATO Rapid Reaction Force Deployable Communication Information Systems (NRF DCIS), Cassidian has revealed.
Described as the latest technology available in NATO deployable communications, DCIS is expected to conduct its first operational trial in March with Polish forces, based out of the Joint Force Training Centre in Bydgoszcz, Poland.
The DCIS has been in development with Cassidian since 2009 and provides NATO signals battalions with an upgraded deployable communications capability in areas of operation.

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.
