Lockheed Martin’s Cyber Solutions division has developed Henosis, a joint integrated cyber mission system prototype, to compete for the US Air Force’s Unified Platform contract, the company announced on 6 March.
The Henosis prototype is designed to incorporate and integrate cyber effects into multi-domain air, land, maritime and space operations. Comprising a system of systems, it functions as a command and control battle management visualisation tool that coordinates defensive and offensive cyber operations, and cyber ISR.
Henosis allows operators to gain access, develop their operational mission requirements and build a customisable application package to execute their specific mission.
Deon Viergutz, vice president of Cyber Solutions, Lockheed Martin, said: ‘We completed an in-depth engineering analysis with our prototype and over the next year, we will combine our framework with the mission modules to demonstrate a capability to execute both defensive and offensive cyber missions.
‘With the right weapon system in place via the Unified Platform, the cyber mission force can rapidly and effectively exploit the convergence of cyber and electronic warfare – such as radio frequency, infrared and radar – to truly change the 21st century battlefield.’
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.
