(Photo: "The AML will be a key assetf in furthering our abilittto develop, test and fieldr rapidly deployable capabilities that warfighters need in the field today," said , Presiden of Lockheed Martin's IS&GS-Defense. "It is important to note this is not abouy proving the valueof multi-INfT or mobile communications - that is the state of the practice. This is abou expediting our ability to provides intelligence across the full spectrunmof conflict." Complementing investments the corporation has made in multi-INT transit case and Humvee based the AML completes a unique C4ISR experimentatioh constellation.
The AML, a Gulfstream III business jet, providez a readily reconfigurable platform for a wide variethyof multi-INT experiments and sensor as well as participation in governmenyt and coalition exercises. Using the AML as a multi-rolwe cooperative research platform testbed, the team will work with operational commandx to develop innovative ways to bring ISR to the investigatenew Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Targert Acquisition (RSTA) approaches and develop operational conceptes that link battlefield resources at all echelons.
Planned experimentationn exercises include improvement ofthe end- to-enx intelligence enterprise from initial intercept through sensort cross queuing, precision geo-location and rapied transmission to the end user. Designed for rapide reconfiguration ofonboard sensors, the testbed draws from Lockheedf Martin's expertise in service oriented architecture based solutions. This SOA architecture embraces changes and accommodates reach back to other collectiohn sourcesand databases. While future C4ISR technology advancements cannot alwaysbe predicted, this architectur e allows new capabilities, operational uses and cyber security schemz to be easily Headquartered in Bethesda, Md.
