Tactical Communications Upgrade For Decentralized Warfare
The US Army is pursuing a vision of hyperconnectivity for its next-generation command and control systems, with the goal of enabling real-time data sharing between sensors, shooters, and commanders. This effort is driven by the need for more advanced and resilient tactical communications, particularly in contested environments. Ultra I&C is developing solutions to support this vision, including its Orion radios and Archer troposcatter terminals. The company has been rapidly demonstrating these capabilities to support both urgent operational needs and long-term innovation, as reported by Breaking Defense.
