Bronco Combat Systems (BCS) USA has launched the Bronco II precision strike and tactical C4ISR aircraft, Paramount Group announced on 22 February.
The Bronco II is based on the Advanced High-Performance Reconnaissance Light Aircraft (AHRLAC). The two-crew aircraft is capable of carrying a wide range of weapons, sensors and systems for extended airborne mission operations. It uses an open system architecture allowing for the rapid incorporation of current and emerging systems to provide better mission flexibility and adaptability.
The aircraft’s internal interchangeable multi-mission system bay allows a single airframe to be easily and rapidly re-configured to perform multiple roles, incorporating high-performance targeting sensors, network communication systems, precision weapons, an electronic self-protection suite, and mission planning systems.
The aircraft is able to operate for extended periods in remote theatres with minimal infrastructure and a small logistics and maintenance footprint.
Bronco Combat Systems consists of Paramount Group USA, Fulcrum Concepts and Aerospace Development Corporation.
Clavister CyberArmour, an integrated defence cybersecurity system, will be used on BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 platform in deployments with a Scandinavian country, as well as in an eastern European nation.
The tactical satellite (TacSat) is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system and will participate in exercises in 2025.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
