Final input regarding the 𝗦𝗜𝗞 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 comes from our valuable consultant, Ioannis Giannopoulos:  “I started getting involved in the testing process of the MIMS C2 product during its implementation into the SIK Program. Having already a remarkable “hands-on” experience on other national and NATO C2 systems, such as the ERIEYE AEW&C, and the NATO ACCS Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) systems my input was valuable. MIMS C2 is a modern system capable of generating a Common Tactical Picture (CTP) by incorporating data from organic sensors and exchanging information over data links with external units and systems. Its open system architecture enables it to interface with current and future systems such as the AIS and the future AIS, known as the VHF Data Exchange System (VDES), as well as the ADS-B, and the next generation ATC system known as the Wide Area Multilateration (WAM). End-users can rely on MIMS C2 for enhancing their Battlespace Situation Awareness (BSA) and cope with current and emerging threats securing their national airspace, by digitally controlling several effectors such as fighter aircraft and surface-to-air missiles”. We are excited to have shared the perspectives of some key contributors, highlighting this transformative initiative's ongoing success and impact. #SCYTALYS #Interoperability #SIKProject #NationalDataLinks

The Wideband Global SATCOM system (WGS) a United States Space Force and Defence Australia partnership is getting close to launch so we hear. The constellation of WGS satellites increases the communications capabilities of the militaries of the United States, Canada, and Australia by providing additional bandwidth and communications capabilities for tactical command and control, communications, and computers; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR); battle management; and combat support information, WGS also augments the current Ka-band Global Broadcast Service (on UHF F/O satellites) by providing additional information broadcast capabilities as well as providing new two-way capability on that band. The IWS System supports continuous 24-hour-per-day wideband satellite services to tactical users and some fixed infrastructure users. Limited protected services will be provided under conditions of stress to selected users employing terrestrial modems capable of providing protection against jamming. #defenceaustralia #wgssatelite #unitedstatesspaceforce #space #launch #unitedlaunchalliance #pacificjointspacefacility #johnmoody #torybruno #iws #C41SR #capabilities #other #canada

Coaxial Dual Receiving Photodiode Expanding applications of two-way communications networks (ROF) Radio over fiber, including remote antenna, Electronic Warfare, radar, military and satcom communications, and radio telescope #CoaxialDualReceivingPhotodiode

Electronic warfare has been around for a long time, but the spectrum war in Ukraine is clearly different. Why is that? Over the last two decades we've seen some pretty big changes in RF technology. Smaller, more efficient radio components, software defined RF systems, and increasingly more powerful compute platforms have combined to create a world of devices in the military and civilian domains that rely on the spectrum to connect to the world and understand where they are in the world. Just think about the evolution in cell phones over the last two decades. Civilians and militaries do more with the spectrum than ever before. Of course the flip side of those technology developments is that it's easier than ever to build or repurpose equipment to monitor what's going on in the spectrum and deny everyone else's ability to use the spectrum. Electronic warfare used to be a "big" capability accessible only to the most advanced nation states. It's now a "medium" or "small" capability accessible to anyone who can afford a software defined radio and knows what they're doing. For these reasons, we're seeing a new kind of protracted, evolving spectrum fight for the first time, but not the last. As always, don't take my word for things like this; listen to spectrum warfare professionals like the Space Force colonel quoted in the article below. #electronicwarfare #ew #ukraine #spaceforce https://lnkd.in/eQRuREc4

In an era of unprecedented advancements in missile technology, nations are enhancing their arsenals with sophisticated weapons like hypersonic glide vehicles, MIRVs, and anti-satellite systems. These advancements, demonstrated by Russia's Kinzhal and China's DZ-ZF, present significant challenges to existing defence systems. Our Aerospace & Defence experts' recent article explores some of the key themes characterising this landscape, including: 1. Technological Challenges: Hypersonic weapons face hurdles such as thermal management, aerodynamic transitions, and material supply chain issues 🔥🚀🔧 2. Advanced Tracking Systems: The U.S. DoD is developing a multi-layered sensor architecture across land, sea, air, and space, including innovations like the Long-Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) 🛰️📡 3. Sensor Integration: Combining infrared, hyperspectral, and RF sensors improves detection and tracking capabilities: 📷🔍📡 4. Strategic Deployment: Multi-orbit satellites (LEO, MEO, GEO) and airborne sensors enhance surveillance and missile tracking, crucial for national security ✈️🔭 The authors of this insightful piece, Arjun Sreekumar and Pravin Pradeep, believe that defence strategies must evolve in line with growing missile threats, integrating advanced technologies and diversified sensor networks to safeguard our future.
