Great article written by Michael Molinari. In December 2020, the Secretary of Defense published the @Department of Defense 5G Strategy Implementation Plan.” Within it, the United States Department of Defense (DoD) describes the importance of integrating 5G and edge computing into military operations, primarily for its higher performance, data-driven applications, and machine-to-machine communication. The strategy provides a baseline roadmap for development, experimentation, and prototyping 5G capabilities while ensuring the DoD will facilitate the advancement and adoption of 5G technology.[1] This plan stresses the importance and emerging capabilities of the technology as well as on-going efforts with endless possibilities for implementation. However, 5G and edge computing can achieve much more. It is key to the military’s concept of Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) by greatly improving areas of command and control (C2), logistics, future weapon capabilities, and implementation into large scale combat operations. As the National Defense Strategy guides the joint force towards an environment of great power competition and defending the nation against near-peer adversaries, the concept of JADC2 has become the cornerstone to unifying networks, sensors, and weapon systems to distribute information across services, commands, decision makers and warfighters. JADC2 facilitates the unification of efforts across all domains to exploit the advantages of joint and partner nation capabilities, providing mission commanders an ability to rapidly develop, execute, or transition between kill chains to overwhelm adversary defenses and present the enemy with multiple dilemmas. #EdgeComputing #Connection #NationalSecurity #EndUsers #DualUse

Exciting insights from our own Jeff Harman in a recent interview with ExecutiveBiz 👏 Jeff shared how Oceus is aligning with critical defense initiatives like the Pacific and European Deterrence Initiatives while advancing cutting-edge 5G technology for the Department of Defense. 🌐 He also discussed how AI-powered tools, like the Oceus Intelligence Controller, are revolutionizing capabilities and streamlining proposal processes. Curious to learn more about how Oceus is shaping the future of defense and technology? Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gaMGBTHq #Innovation #5G #DefenseTechnology #AIIntegration

Great news coming from someone far down the chain! I have summarized the article for anyone that's interested! Hughes Network Systems has secured a $6.5 million contract from the Department of Defense to develop an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) prototype at Fort Bliss, Texas. This project aims to test and evaluate advanced 5G capabilities for military applications. The initiative is a collaboration between the Army, the Pentagon's Chief Information Officer, and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. Initially, the prototype will operate a temporary 5G network for assessments, with plans to transition to Hughes' commercial network to support both military and civilian users in the area. A key focus is the development of a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), a software component designed to optimize the radio access network. This effort is expected to lay the groundwork for future O-RAN installations at other military locations and establish a training site for personnel.

Technology for the Next Generation of Special Forces

As we stand on the brink of a revolutionary leap in military communications technology, I am honoured to introduce the latest milestone achieved by our defence technology partners: the Ericsson 6G Communications System. This advanced system heralds a new era in tactical operations and strategic deployments, offering unprecedented capabilities that will redefine modern warfare. The Ericsson 6G system is engineered with precision and foresight designed to meet the intricate demands of contemporary and future battlegrounds. One of the system’s standout features is its ability to generate tightly focused beams of radio energy. This technological advancement is not merely a step forward; it is a leap towards greater efficiency and precision in military communications. Enhanced Precision in Communication With the Ericsson 6G system, we are now equipped to direct communication beams with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring that our messages reach only the intended recipients. This capability significantly reduces the risk of interception and eavesdropping, safeguarding our operational secrecy against adversarial threats. In the shadowy realm of tactical engagements, where silence and stealth are as potent as firepower, this system ensures our communications are invisible cloaks, shielding our moves from prying eyes. Revolutionary Tracking Abilities Beyond secure communications, the Ericsson 6G system introduces an extraordinary enhancement in tracking capabilities. The precision of its radio beams enables us to monitor the movement of both assets and personnel with an accuracy previously deemed unattainable. Whether it is overseeing the deployment of ground troops in dense terrains or coordinating aerial units in cluttered airspaces, this system provides a clarity that will dominate the fog of war. Strategic Advantages in Operations The strategic implications of deploying the Ericsson 6G system are profound. By enhancing our communication and tracking precision, we can execute operations with a level of coordination and efficiency that will outpace and outmanoeuvre our adversaries. The system’s robustness in signal strength and resistance to traditional jamming efforts means that our operational integrity remains intact even under the most adverse conditions.

Facts and not only words to achieve am actual European interoperability.

Perfect solution

Love this C4ISRNET article as it articulates the need for #ARTAK's capabilities perfectly. "The rapid development of #edgecomputing and network solutions continually forces the evolution of technology driven #C2 and #ISR systems that warfighters rely on in #multidomainoperations. These ongoing multi-domain operations currently allow the U.S. and our partner nations to establish integrated deterrence, while supporting interoperability within a mission partner environment. It also allows joint and service planners to realize scalable decision-making advantages for agile basing and contested logistics missions while assuring communications in denied/degraded environments and enhancing intelligence collection capabilities. So, What’s Next? Three things are needed to take advantage of the first island chain edge focus: 1) Develop and sustain a persistent decision-making advantage; 2) achieve an accelerated, more accurate, data, information and intelligence decision cycle; and 3) training and experience."

The World Radio Conference 2023 (WRC-23) concluded with a significant victory for the United States, ensuring the protection of the Defense Department’s radar spectrum from potential interference. This strategic move not only safeguards our national security but also paves the way for advancements in 5G and the future 6G mobile communications networks. At the summit in Dubai, the US delegation, led by Steve Lang from the State Department, successfully opposed proposals that could have compromised the radar systems used by the Navy’s Aegis Combat System. The US also managed to harmonize spectrum for 5G across the Americas, freeing up an impressive 500 megahertz of spectrum for wireless use while protecting incumbent systems. This outcome is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the US officials, DoD representatives, and industry experts who participated in the conference. It’s a clear success story of promoting connectivity, innovation, and national security. The US’s stance also reflects a strong commitment to maintaining a balance between technological growth and defense readiness. As we celebrate this achievement, let’s look forward to a future where technology and security go hand in hand. #WRC23 #Telecommunications #NationalSecurity #5G #Innovation #Pentagon
