L3Harris, Inmarsat-led industry team demonstrates real-world JADC2 connectivity

Decision makers on the battlefield have increasing levels of multi-domain resources at their disposal as new capabilities come online, but they need real-time information from and the ability to communicate with these various assets in order to direct the required effect from the appropriate platform at the most opportune time for mission success.

This necessitates agile networks with open architectures to facilitate seamless voice, data and video information sharing from disparate technologies, including those already within inventories as well as new capabilities that come online over time.

SATCOM Support for JADC2 L3Harris Technologies, Inmarsat Government and industry partners demonstrated an unparalleled level of Satellite Communications (SATCOM) connectivity in support of representative Joint All-Domain Command-and-Control (JADC2) operations at this year's Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC) in Tampa, Florida.

Our JADC2 demonstration at SOFIC further demonstrated the enabling capabilities we can provide the Special Operation Forces community today, and the Inmarsat connectivity with our DarkWing terminal was a critical element of the network architecture, said Dana Mehnert, President, Communication Systems, L3Harris. We look forward to furthering this partnership and continuing to deliver solutions to SOF operators that enable cognitive overmatch.

Those in attendance, specifically the international community, expressed how impressive the demonstration was in showcasing the seamless integration of the various technologies to meet their needs in enabling critical operations, Mehnert added.

SA and ISR The industry team simulated a real-world remote network that delivered situational awareness information from a notional tactical-edge command-and-control node to a Joint Operations Center replicated at the L3Harris trade show booth.
