5th-to-4th Generation Gateway - E-3 AWACS
Abstract
5th-to-4th Generation Communications Capability facilitates sharing track and sensor data between 5th Generation and 4th Generation aircraft as well as Command and Control (C2) nodes. These capabilities 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 the 5th-to-4th Generation Communications Capability enables track sharing at the tactical edge for the timely execution 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.
