- Description
- The Interim Airborne Gateway system is envsioned as a remotely controlled integrated communications package installed on an Unmanned Aerial System used to address voice and data system incompatibilities, including range limitations, to facilitate seamless exchange of real-time space, air, and surface situational awareness (SA) and Command and Control (C2) information for the coordination and execution of joint mission engagements by friendly forces. The IG program goal is the connectivity and interoperability of homogeneous and heterogeneous voice and data networks to allow the exchange of tactical battle-space information in support of tactical missions. The IG Airborne Gateway will also provide the ability to reach back to local and global command centers without a heavy reliance on satellite communications or an entrenched ground fiber network, neither of which may be in future battle-grounds due to a lack of existing infrastructure or satellite coverage due to t! errain or emerging threats to satellite systems. The IG system will interface with and handle data and voice from legacy tactical data links, advanced (IP-based) tactical data links, military and civilian voice radios, satellite communications, and terrestrial networks. Projected IG users include fighter and bomber aircraft, airborne and ground C2 nodes, mobile and dismounted forces, first responders, command centers, and other users in the Global Information Grid (GIG).
