The USAF 805th Combat Training Squadron’s Shadow Operations Center-Nellis (ShOC-N) has demonstrated advanced space and cyber technologies for personnel across multiple domains as part of exercise Red Flag 22-3.
ShOC-N is a USAF Battle Lab that supports experimentation, prototyping, integration and testing of key technologies and capabilities designed to compress the kill chain for joint and coalition operations, the USAF said in a 15 August statement.
Solutions showcased included space domain awareness, a complex airspace management tool that uses a multi-source correlator and a tracker for the cyber C2 programme.

The exercise aims to offer realistic multi-domain advanced combat training to warfighters and allied partners in a degraded and operationally contested environment.
The USAF said the exercise provided the ideal environment for the demonstration of emerging capabilities.
