Airborne Technologies announced on 12 June that it will take its Viking Air Twin Otter Guardian 400 platform with Linx system architecture on a demonstration tour around the world for the next 18 months.
The aircraft has been outfitted to target airborne special mission opportunities.
To showcase the Linx’s capabilities, the demonstrator aircraft has been fitted with two Self Contained Aerial Reconnaissance pods, one with a Hensoldt Argos EO/IR turret, and the other with a Leonardo Osprey radar system and Sentient vision camera system.
The tour will take in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, South East Asia, Oceania and North America.
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.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
