Collins used multiple technologies to
securely integrate non-traditional sensor data into III Marine
Expeditionary Force classified fires network
OKINAWA,
Japan, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Collins
Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, successfully demonstrated a
new cross-domain networking capability to improve situational
awareness for forces in the initial stages of a conflict. Collins
enabled the relay of unclassified data from non-traditional sensors
into a fires network in support of Marine Corps Command and Control
objectives during exercise Keen Sword hosted by III Marine
Expeditionary Force.
Non-traditional sensors including commercial nodes run on
different networks than government systems, requiring data movement
across machines to provide users an integrated view of key data.
Collins automated the routing of data across different security
classification levels and used satellite networks to provide a
secure transport layer between the non-traditional sensors in a
configuration that took less than an hour to set up and run.
"We must provide decision makers with the best information from
any data source and rapidly reconfigure systems to support changing
mission needs," said Elaine Bitonti,
vice president and general manager for the Connected Battlespace
& Emerging Capabilities portfolio at Collins. "During the
exercise, Collins enabled expeditionary machine to machine
transfers of data to close decision chains quickly."
