Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) Obsolescence
Program: The Land Systems team will be available to discuss LAV
upgrades to the power pack, transmission, driveline system,
driver's instrument panel and turret slip ring. These enhancements
are designed to extend the service life of the LAV into the
2030s.
Multi-Utility Tactical Transport (MUTT): The robotic 8x8
MUTT will be on display. The expanding robotic product line from
Land Systems includes 8x8 and 6x6 wheeled versions of the MUTT, as
well as the Weaponized MUTT. The MUTT has proved to be a rugged,
reliable, V-22 transportable, small-unit force multiplier that
provides increased persistence and protection and projection of
combat power for land forces.
In addition, Land Systems will have representatives available to
discuss the M1A1 Abrams Main Battle
Tank program, Cougar Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected (MRAP)
vehicles and its other line of products and services from around
the globe.

Common Aviation Command and Control System
(CAC2S): The CAC2S demonstration will feature a real-time
fused air picture with aviation tracks from radar sensors. The
advanced Multi-Source Correlator Tracker display provides shared
situational awareness across the air space. This demonstration
will be networked on a tactical LTE network so that the air picture
from the notional command center can be shared with a tablet and
will feature two firsts for CAC2S, which recently received a
$105 million full-rate production
decision from the U.S. Marine Corps:
- Real-time air/ground common operating picture
- Air/ground common operating picture distributed to a tablet
from the control agency.
CrossingGuard™ XD is a low Size, Weight and
Power (SwaP), trusted cross-domain access and transfer solution
that is ideal for tactical platforms and sensors with which SWaP
constraints are prevalent. Built on COTS open standards,
CrossingGuard XD is a software-based virtual guard designed for
tactical mission environments that require cross-domain processing
at the mobile edge.
Sectéra® vIPer™ Universal Secure
Phone is the only NSA-certified Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) phone that protects information classified Top Secret/SCI
and below over commercial wired networks and is the ideal
replacement for outdated Secure Terminal Equipment (STE). This
modern phone allows users to easily switch between making
end-to-end secure and non-secure calls on VoIP and analog networks,
eliminating the need for multiple desktop phones. The recently
released vIPer phone now includes an embedded fiber interface that
allows customers to take advantage of the benefits of modern fiber
infrastructures, such as greater speed, distance, reliability,
security and cost savings.
TACDS™ is a ruggedized, tactical
cross-domain solution (CDS) certified by the NSA that provides
much-needed capability and can be found on a variety of armored and
ISR platforms operating at the tactical edge. And to meet the
demanding SWaP needs of dismounted military personnel, it is
available in a smaller form factor that weighs just 8 ounces.
TACLANE®, the world's most widely deployed
Type 1 encryptor, continues to provide high-speed interoperable
solutions to protect networks and information against evolving
cyber threats.
The ability to share information across multiple security
domains while in the battlefield gives dismounted warfighters
access to more information than ever before. With Trusted
Embedded Environment (TEE), warfighters in tactical situations
can access and transfer information from multiple security levels,
enhancing their situational awareness, safety and mission
success.
Trusted Network Environment (TNE) is a cyber edge
solution in use by the U.S. Department of Defense and federal
agencies. It enables multiple coalitions of interest (COI) to share
sensitive information across security boundaries. Built on an
enhanced Linux Operating System (OS) provided by the PitBull
product, TNE enables this 360-degree collaboration with a suite of
trusted software applications, utilities and tools that are fully
accredited for cross-domain information sharing.

4G Tactical Backbone: This demonstration
features base stations supported by a virtualized core network and
a 30-foot deployable mast. These radios will provide two separate
LTE wireless networks – one for high-capacity network traffic and
one for smartphones, tablets and command post support. The LTE
networks will link to the indoor booth in Tent B (#2025), allowing
attendees to see the Tactical Toolkit Multi-Domain Dominance common
operating picture and data.
General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems -- Booth 278
-- Outside
Ordnance and Tactical Systems will showcase a
diverse line of munitions, including a full family of 120mm tank
ammunition and 120mm EFSS mortar munitions; medium-caliber
ammunition for all 20mm, 25mm and 30mm land, air and sea platforms;
and an array of crew-served weapon platforms.
The Flyer Family of Lightweight, Tactical Vehicles:
Highly mobile, fully modular, Internal and External Air Transport
(IAT) compliant, military-grade, mission-ready vehicles. The
Flyer 72 is shown in the Army LRV configuration, capable of
carrying a crew of six with a 30mm lightweight machine gun with a
payload capacity of more than 5,000 pounds and internally
transportable in a CH-47. The Flyer 60 is shown in a
five-man configuration. It has a payload capacity of 4,500 pounds
and can be internally transported in V-22 and CH-47 or underslung
on a UH-60 helicopter.
