5th to 4th Generation Gateway
Abstract
5th-to-4th Generation Gateway facilitates track sharing and sensor data between 5th Generation and 4th Generation aircraft as well as Command and Control (C2) nodes. The capabilities developed under this effort enable interoperability between data formats, protocols, and communication mediums. Additionally, these capabilities extend the connectivity range, consolidate data from multiple networks, domains and sensors into high capacity links for transmission to key C2ISR nodes, route information between disadvantaged users, and correlate data from multiple sources to facilitate early detection and tracking while enabling collaborative targeting. The addition of multi-domain capabilities as a future requirement of 5th-to-4th Generation communications capabilities enable track sharing at the tactical edge for the timely destruction of ground and airborne target sets. These additional capabilities are a combat force multiplier that enhance total force synergy for target prosecution and weapons employment. The initial increment will provide the baseline 5th-to-4th communication capability upon which future requirements will build capability.
