Abstract
Project C553 - Manned-Unmanned Distributed Lethality Airborne Network (MUDLAN) provides prototype development, testing, fleet experimentation, and concept refinement for next generation high speed ISR data link to connect and distribute multi-users / multi domains with 5G like speeds. The modern protected communications capabilities allow manned and unmanned aircraft to share and disseminate large amounts of data using improved emergent communications technologies for multi-platform/ multi-service interoperability through Line-of-Sight (LOS) tactical data networks. These high-speed tactical data links are required at the forward edge where satellite services are not optimal and where existing airborne tactical data links do not support 4G and 5G wireless speeds. Additionally, the funding supports USMC Fused Integrated Naval Network (FINN), which is leveraging the new MUDLAN technology for Navy-USMC tactical data link interoperability. MUDLAN also supports Navy's Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) objectives as a key enabler for communications and dissemination. Project C554 - Unmanned Logistics Support - Air (ULS-A) provides for experimentation for unmanned cargo operations and includes complementary Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), payloads, advanced sensors, autonomy; efforts refined requirements and concept of operations (CONOPS). This includes continued development of autonomous obstacle avoidance and landing system, and the continued development and integration of unique satellite communication systems designed for over-the-horizon use and operation in line-of-sight constrained environments.
