How will BAE Systems' 2-Color Advanced Warning Systems enhance helicopter survivability in combat zones? BAE Systems has completed the delivery of 400 2-Color Advanced Warning Systems (2CAWS) to the US Army as part of the Limited Interim Missile Warning System (LIMWS) program. This next-generation technology leverages multi-spectral sensors and machine learning to swiftly detect threats, cueing countermeasures that protect Army helicopters. These systems enhance the survivability of utility, heavy-lift, and attack helicopters in complex environments. Dave Harrold, VP and GM of Countermeasure & Electromagnetic Attack Solutions at BAE Systems, emphasized the importance of advanced threat detection capabilities for Army Aviation’s mission success. With proven performance in operational environments, 2CAWS builds on the reliability of the Common Missile Warning System (CMWS), fielded on thousands of aircraft globally. Could these new systems set a benchmark in rotary-wing aircraft defense?

Are you curious about the future of #militarytraining? The latest @NavalInstitute article by @SAICinc's Paul Mackley explores the potential of Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) training to prepare our forces for high-end combat.

Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) continued its record of 100% successful live-fire flight tests. Creating a single, connected battlespace by integrating with any sensor and any effector, even those still in development and testing, is what makes #IBCS the cornerstone of modernizing integrated air and missile defense. Today, on March 21, IBCS fused data from LTAMDS radar to acquire, track, engage and intercept a long-range cruise missile with PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement at White Sands Missile Range. http://ms.spr.ly/6047coxzB #DefiningPossible

IBCS demonstrates its value and revolutionary capabilities once again.

The plus-ups include several items from the unfunded priority lists submitted by the services and combatant commands, as well as ideas of their own, some of which counter the stated preferences of service leaders. #AirForce #USAF #Airman #SpaceForce #Guardian

"The United States Air Force cannot measure pilot readiness." (But it could...) So discusses Matthew Ross, a former F-15E instructor pilot, in highlighting that individual readiness determines the outcome of combat, in his excellent commentary in War on the Rocks. While USAF and other air forces may not currently measure pilot readiness - it is now achievable through data, analytics, and machine learning (Ocean Software). Identifying capability gaps at an individual level; being able to address training inefficiencies; forecasting readiness levels; improving training effectiveness through individual learning plans; and mitigating safety risks by anticipating events - these are some of the benefits that data-driven analytics and insights are able to offer. Fascinating times for military and civilian pilot training, and subsequently air power and operational capability. https://lnkd.in/gZtKdtuM #pilottraining #airpower #aviation #aerospace

OTD in 2013: A very low experience on type flight crew had been paired together. Surprisingly little comment is made of insufficient certification testing of the modified aircraft and the failure to act after 4 prior 'near catastrophic' stall events. https://lnkd.in/ewbnX4U #military #accident #aviationsafety #flightsafety #airmanship #training #certification #humanfactors
