It also test tech that connects an AC-130 gunship with SpaceX’s Starlink constellation, and used a high-velocity projectile shot from a howitzer to shoot down a surrogate cruise missile.Īll of those demonstrations were enabled by 5G connectivity, cloud computing and competing battle management systems that fused together data and applied machine-learning algorithms. So far, the service has tested out technology that allows the F-35 and F-22 jets to send data to each other despite their use of different waveforms. Indo-Pacific Command’s Exercise Valiant Shield. Over the past year, the Air Force held three ABMS demonstrations, with the most recent taking place Sept. The services want to be able to take data from any of the services' sensors - whether that’s the radar of an E-3 early airborne warning aircraft or the video collected by an MQ-1C Gray Eagle drone - and detect a threat, fuse it with other information coming in from other platforms, use artificial intelligence to provide a list of options to commanders and ultimately send accurate target data to the weapon systems that will shoot it, all in a drastically shortened timeline. The Army’s and the Air Force’s goals are roughly the same. So that whether it’s an F-35 or an artillery battery, they communicate with each other to prosecute enemy targets.” And it really starts with cloud architecture, common data standards, and command-and-control systems that you can wire together so that they can share information at the speed of relevance. “We’re laying down the path to get there. “I’m very encouraged that we have the Air Staff and the Army Staff investing countless hours,” he said. Ultimately, such close coordination between Army and Air Force leaders only happens once in a generation, said Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, who pointed to the formation of the AirLand Battle doctrine in the 1980s as the last time they worked together so intimately on a new war-fighting concept. Nicholas Tensing, a multi-domain battle management team, monitors a computer in support of the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) Onramp 2, Sat Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. Your ideas can help save lives,” said Johnson in the July 31 release.U.S. “There are no bad ideas, so we ask those involved to voice them. 30, intends to determine the best location to launch this satellite type. 31, seeks to devise ways for quadrotor aircraft to navigate with little human interaction and “Launch a GPS IIF,” from Oct. 30, aiming to use rapid prototyping to develop new technologies for search and rescue operations in collapsed structures “Mind of a Quadrotor,” from Sept. The three projects are: “Search and Rescue 2.0,” which runs from Aug. Marcus Johnson, chief of the service’s strategic marketing division. The goal of this project, known as the Air Force Collaboratory, is “to inspire -inclined students and educators to engage, collaborate, and solve real-world challenges faced by our airmen today,” said Col. The Air Force is reaching out to the American public through a new online initiative for “creative and inventive” input on three unclassified projects, according to a service release.
