Israel sets up new department to boost development of AI and autonomy
Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
Chemring Technology Solutions (CTS) recently participated in CyberQuest 2018, a sequence of advanced technology experiments led by the US Army Cyber Center of Excellence, the company announced on 31 July.
CyberQuest delivers EW war gaming and the month long event saw operational units participate in a series of experiments to operate and evaluate multiple-vendors systems, under supervision of the US Army Training and Doctrine Command capability managers.
The aim of the exercise was to assist vendors in understanding the future needs of the US Army, the results of which are also briefed to coalition partners.
CTS attended CyberQuest in 2017 trialling the direction finding intercept and baseline position fixing capabilities of the Resolve manpack system. In 2018, CTS demonstrated the increased performance and capability of VIPER, the new tactical mission information system. VIPER delivers the EW manpack geo-fencing capability.
CyberQuest also experimented with LOCATE-T, the CTS wideband high frequency (HF) direction finding tactical system. LOCATE-T is fully-transportable and the system provides an essential compliment to existing static HF sites. Both LOCATE-T and Resolve are interfacing into the Chesapeake Technology International Thunderstorm architecture to help define the common operational picture shown using the CTI Caper plug-in for RaptorX.

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.
