In the age of Great Power Competition, armed forces require secure and resilient communication pathways to ensure maximum levels in connectivity even when operating in the most contested of environments.
Seeking to satisfy these demand signals, industry is offering various aggregated communications solutions capable of integrating a variety of networks, ranging from SATCOM and Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) communications to 4G and 5G networks.
Examples include the Transport Aggregation Gateway (TAG) solution, which L3Harris Technologies designed to ensure critical communications in denied and degraded C2 environments.
Speaking to Shephard, L3Harris product director Shane Sims explained how TAG relies

Adding a space layer to missile defence is not an optional extra – it is crucial.
Add-on kit turns UHF/VHF radio into a BLoS solution to support voice and data communications.
Digital engineering is transforming the defence industry, from design to manufacturing.
The digital engineering concept creates an environment where a single, digital source of truth empowers defence manufacturing.
The MOESS programme intends to deploy a sovereign Australian tactical electromagnetic sensor capability, installed on a constellation of CubeSats. DEWC is developing a sensor that can conduct radar electronic support in defence-relevant radio frequency bands used by assets such as ships and aircraft.
