Adaptive Airborne Enterprise (A2E)

Abstract

Adaptative Airborne Enterprise (A2E) architecture and systems are being developed to ensure interoperability of air platforms to space, sea vessels and ground units. Supports the use of collaboration environments to facilitate a more efficient and expeditious intel integration and close long-range kill chains in highly congested and contested operating environments defined by the 2022 NDS. The USSOCOM will advance crewed and uncrewed systems from a single operational domain and hierarchical command and control system to a multi-domain, agile, small footprint, mesh-network command and control ecosystem. Some foundational capabilities will leverage evolved MQ-9 platforms and infrastructure. Multiple program offices collaborative domain efforts will enhance long range strike, take advantage of diverse Joint Command, Control, Communications (C4) ISR networks/architectures, increase survivability and improve decision making speed to critical decision makers at all echelons of command. Key capabilities will include preparation of the environment, illuminating threats, and link targets with desired effects for SOF and Joint Forces.
