$DFSC - XVIII Airborne Corps evaluating sensor manufacturers, command-and-control developers, communications providers.
Speculative, but The special invite defsec got for an August US army sensor evaluation could be this..
If BLISS becomes part of the stack:
Radar — detects aircraft
EO/IR — identifies it
Acoustic — adds another detection method
BLISS — detects laser illumination/threat
C2 — fuses the data
"No single sensor can address the full range of unmanned aircraft threats, Schmall said. Each technology brings different strengths and contributes different information to the broader picture."
"What we wanted to look for is their capability to perform individually, as well as with each other between all of the industry partners, to provide us this capability in the future, not only for the base, but also in tactical situations,"
Defsecs BLISS is built to be part and integrate with several sensors. To blanket the Battlefield, bases, outposts, vehicles, infantry. All of DEFSEC’s tactical edge technologies come pre-integrated with TAK software (such as ATAK for Android), the standard real-time situational awareness tool used across U.S., Canadian, and Western NATO forces.
Not financial advice, I have a position in n DFSC, dydd.
