According to L3Harris, the infrastructure will serve as the backbone of the Air Force’s command and control network. The system is intended to combine information from multiple sources and provide military operators with a real-time view of the battlefield.
The company said the project will support the integration of sensors and weapons systems across operational domains. L3Harris plans to use modern data processing and networking technologies in the programme.
“This new digital infrastructure will provide the warfighter with more secure, timely and usable information, allowing them to connect sensors and shooters across domains – in complex operational environments,” said Kathy Crandall, president of Mission Networks, Space & Mission Systems at L3Harris.
“We will build off L3Harris’ rich legacy of developing and operating large-scale communications networks to meet the demands of modern military operations,” she added. The company said the work builds on its existing experience in military communications and networking systems.
The Advanced Battle Management System is a central element of the Department of War’s Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control strategy. The initiative is intended to unify military operations and improve coordination between different branches of the armed forces.
L3Harris said the programme is designed to support faster and more effective battlefield decision-making. The company added that resilient and secure digital networks are becoming increasingly important for modern military operations.
