L3Harris demonstrates new electronic warfare capability with DiSCO technology in UK

By Defence Industry Europe

L3Harris Technologies has successfully demonstrated a new electronic warfare (EW) capability in the United Kingdom at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) event. The test highlighted how the technology can support U.K. and NATO forces in joint, all-domain, collaborative operations.

L3Harris Technologies has successfully demonstrated a new electronic warfare (EW) capability in the United Kingdom at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) event. The test highlighted how the technology can support U.K. and NATO forces in joint, all-domain, collaborative operations.

 

The company employed its cloud-based Distributed Spectrum Collaboration and Operations (DiSCO™) architecture to merge communication radio frequency sensor data from a U.K.-produced Mobile Electronic Warfare Sensor with its Spectrum Server. This integration created a common operating picture of the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS).

“The DiSCO technology enables the warfighter to operationalize and weaponize EMS in ways previously unavailable,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “The battlefield in Ukraine has clearly demonstrated the need for next generation EMS capabilities to enhance operational effectiveness and rapidly address evolving threats.”

According to the company, the milestone marks the first time DiSCO has incorporated communication and radar data into a near real-time common operating picture. It also represents the first aggregation of geographically separated data from a fielded sensor not built in the United States.
