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 will supply its SitaWare solution to the US Army under a multi-million dollar contract announced on 3 February.
The commercial-off-the-shelf command and control system is designed to provide improved situational awareness at all levels of command, as well as easier cooperation with other forces.
In addition to an open architecture which allows for integration with legacy and third party systems, SitaWare has built-in support for international information exchange standards providing advanced interoperability with international allies and interoperability between US forces.
Rafael Torres, president, Systematic, said: 'SitaWare meets most of the army's C4I requirements straight out-of-the-box.
'With this award, SitaWare will become a key component of the army common operating environment, and Systematic will work with mission command and industry partners to develop a common framework to enhance interoperability between US and coalition partners.'

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.
