Mobile Unmanned Air Vehicle Distributed Lethality Airborne Network (MUDLAN)
Abstract
Previously funded JCTD. MUDLAN supports the National Defense Strategy's focus on command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) and the fully networked command, control and communications (FNC3) modernization priority. In FY 2020, MUDLAN performed flight testing on air, land, and sea platforms to demonstrate military utility of high data rate communications nodes, and demonstrated over-the-horizon, distributed communications capabilities at scale. MUDLAN also incorporated a spectrum agility capability to autonomously shift frequency bands to ensure continuous air, land, and sea connectivity in contested electronic warfare environments. MUDLAN will transition the technologies to a U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command program of record. Due to COVID19 impacts, this JCTD will complete in FY 2021.
