L3 Technologies (NYSE:LLL) will offer a media briefing and
demonstration on Tuesday, July 17, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
local time for Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUMT), including a suite of
integrated products and capabilities from each of the company’s
four business segments, at the 2018 Farnborough International
Airshow in the L3 Pavilion, Row A.
MUMT is the synchronization of various combat weapon systems to
decrease the sensor-to-shooter time line and significantly enhances
warfighter situational awareness. At its core, the capability
enables sharing of high-bandwidth data, video and intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) information between manned
airborne platforms, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), supported ground
forces, and distant command and control centers.
In general, UASs perform the job of detecting and locating enemy
forces. They transmit all the information they gather to the manned
airborne platforms, which are safely outside of threat weapon
systems engagement ranges. The data obtained between the UAS and
manned platform is shared with ground forces and command and
control centers, giving warfighters increased and likely advance
knowledge of enemy locations and activity.
“By enabling robust communications and data teaming between
manned and unmanned aircraft, MUMT provides transformational
warfighting capability that exponentially improves the mission
effectiveness of the UAS, manned platforms and ground forces,” said
Andrew C. Ivers, L3’s Senior Vice President and President of its
Communication Systems business segment. “We look forward to
demonstrating how this capability, which is currently in use on
AH-64 Apache helicopters and UAS platforms, including MQ-8 Gray
Eagles, Shadows and Ravens, can be optimized for other airborne
assets used by NATO and international partners.”
As a part of the company’s media briefing, L3 Technologies will
demonstrate how MUMT seamlessly integrates with fielded
technologies from numerous industry providers or from products and
capabilities from each of the company’s four business segments.
For example, the Fixed-Wing Vertical Takeoff and Landing Rotator
(FVR) UAS provided by L3’s Electronic Systems segment is easily
integrated with the Widow® cockpit and UAS sensors, such as the
MX™-25 multispectral imaging system, which are provided by the
company’s Sensor Systems segment.
The AT-802L Longsword™ missionized aircraft, built by the
Aerospace Systems segment, is also equipped with L3’s Widow
cockpit. L3 Aerospace Systems can also integrate all of the
broadband communications systems on board the UAS and the manned
airborne platforms. Additional systems from the Communication
Systems segment include the ground ISR receivers and the remote
command and control center communications systems.
“The MUMT demonstration showcases the company’s ‘one L3’
approach to providing customers innovative solutions at an
accelerated pace of change,” added Mr. Ivers. “Whether our product
offerings are bundled together or provided individually, we provide
affordable, reliable solutions that fulfill the warfighters’
demanding mission requirements.”
