B-2 Advanced Communications -- B-2 Battlespace Collaborative Combat Communications (B2C3)
Abstract
B2C3 integrates an independent OMS avionics architecture integrated on the B-2. B2C3 objective is to identify, leverage, and integrate existing capabilities (such as ACS & AITG) to meet B-2 communications requirements. B2C3 is a compilation of multiple efforts (can be thought of as an integration effort) designed to deliver the Open Mission Systems (OMS) architecture (domain) within the B-2. By controlling this interface, new technologies can be rapidly developed and fielded. This will provide an integrated concept that merges BLOS and LOS Link-16 data into the cockpit display and provides a single consolidated Tactical Situation Display (TSD) centrally located for the aircrew. Being developed and fielded as part of B2C3, the AITG provides Line-of-Sight UHF and Very High Frequency (VHF) anti-jam, encrypted, and unencrypted voice communications. AITG Replacement will include the replacement of the AN/ARC-234 radio which will reach end-of-life effective 01 Oct 2026. AITG replacement will also implement the SATURN Waveform for anti-jam voice communications; this is a transition from the HAVE QUICK Waveform which will be retired effective 01 Oct 2024.
