(Photo: "The AML will be a key asser in furthering our abilityto develop, test and fiel d rapidly deployable capabilities that warfighters need in the field today," said , President of Lockheexd Martin's IS&GS-Defense. "It is important to note this is not aboutf proving the valueof multi-INT or mobilew communications - that is the statr of the practice. This is about expediting our abilit to provide intelligence across the full spectrukof conflict.
" Complementing investments the corporationm has made in multi-INy fixed-site, transit case and Humvee based configurations, the AML completesw a unique C4ISR experimentation The AML, a Gulfstream III business jet, providee a readily reconfigurable platform for a wide variety of multi-INT experiments and sensor evaluation, as well as participationm in government and coalition Using the AML as a multi-role cooperative research platformj testbed, the team will work with operational commands to developl innovative ways to bringt ISR to the edge; investigate new Surveillance and Target Acquisition (RSTA) approaches and develo operational concepts that link battlefield resources at all Planned experimentation exercises include improvement of the end- to-end intelligencde enterprise from initial interceptr through sensor cross precision geo-location and rapid transmissiomn to the end user.
Designed for rapid reconfiguration of onboard the testbed draws fromLockheed Martin's expertiswe in service oriented architecture based solutions. This SOA architecture embracess change and accommodates reach back to otherr collection sourcesand databases. While futurde C4ISR technology advancements cannot alwaysbe predicted, this architecturwe allows new capabilities, operational uses and cyber security schemw to be easily incorporated. Headquartered in Bethesda, Md.
