Shift5’s Post

Congratulations Shift5! The ability to collect OT data in an understandable way is crucial for cybersecurity, enhanced maintenance, and advanced troubleshooting. Well done!

The deployment of LPD technologies marks a transformative phase in the defence industry. Beyond the immediate tactical advantages, it heralds a shift towards more resilient and adaptive military operations. LPD communication systems enable forces to navigate the complexities of modern warfare environments, where electronic signatures are as critical as physical presence. By reducing the risk of detection, these systems allow for greater mobility, flexibility, and confidence in executing operations. https://bit.ly/4aow2hj #LPD #mmWave #Militarycomms

The Moog Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP) is a fully operational, proven capability that has already been deployed in support of the U.S. Army’s Maneuver Short Range Air Defense Increment 1 (SGT Stout) programme. Not only is the turret itself proven, but so are the individual technology elements within. With a technology readiness level (TRL) of 9 – the highest possible rating – RIwP is a low-risk, reconfigurable system, which has been brought to the market equipped with advanced motion control and turret stabilisation that are based on Moog technologies widely used on other fielded turrets and remote weapon stations. #RIwPUK #RIwP #SHORAD #CUAS #GBAD #UKDefence 📷U.S. DoD.

In April, the DOD released DODI 3110.05, introducing new sustainment health metrics to enhance performance measurement throughout the lifecycle of military equipment. In the article below, HON Lowman discusses how these metrics shift focus from traditional, reactive readiness assessments to a proactive, data-driven approach, aiming to improve fleet management and sustainment decision-making. https://lnkd.in/eTPJv2zV

Really loving how our #Military messaging and insightful videos are coming together! This 1 minute video explains a solution we developed called Tesseract RT to understand and instantly visualize where AGE equipment and other assets are in real time. Tesseract’s asset tracking technology presents a significant opportunity to extend its application to various aspects of United States Air Force (USAF) operations. By leveraging PRISM (hardware) and RT (software), the USAF can reduce search time, prevent loss or theft, and improve efficiency in areas such as aircraft maintenance, readiness, asset management, supply chain visibility, personnel tracking and safety.

A very interesting article from the Norwegian Defence Research Institute on the topic of future soldier systems. I remember being part of the NORMANS testing myself, back in 2009. Good times! https://lnkd.in/dhNWsrUg One quote from the project manager in NDMA caught my attention: “It doesn’t help to buy the best here and the best there if the equipment doesn’t fit together. Our goal is to reduce incorrect acquisitions. There have been enough of those” This quote is "center-center". Given the current international security situation, and the urgent need to re-arm and equip our armed forces in a timely manner, we need to step away from national, specialized and time consuming development programs when we can. We should look to the market and our friends & allies, to see how we can draw from each other`s experiences. Rheinmetall together with the German Bundeswehr has since 2006 continuously developed a soldier system for the combined arms combat unit. This effort has generated a substantial amount of institutional experience, derived from years of field testing and operational use together with the German Armed forces. This knowledge and expertise has resulted in the newest generation of the soldier system: Gladius 2.0. Fielded and in operational use today. https://lnkd.in/dzuAkaJd Through close cooperation and open dialogue, I am confident we will identify mutual ground and common interest going forward, to ensure we equip our soldiers for the future.

The Air Reserve Component is turning its veteran tanker fleet into cutting-edge communication platforms. With the Tanker Intelligent Gateway (TIG), AATC is working to modernize communication in combat operations. This technology transforms the KC-135, a long-serving air refueling tanker into a vital link for data exchange across joint and coalition forces. Key Benefits of the TIG include: ▪️Enhanced situational awareness for commanders ▪️Seamless integration of legacy and advanced tactical data link systems ▪️Improved real-time decision making capabilities ▪️TIG can be deployed across various aircraft With this technology boost, the KC-135 will continue to play a crucial role in military operations, not just for refueling but as an essential node in the communication network. This combat modernization effort demonstrates how existing platforms can be adapted to meet the evolving needs of our warfighters in an increasingly data-driven battlefield.

Capability + Supportability = Superiority.
