US Joint Forces Command has undertake a new Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration to help it break down problems with battlespace communications. One goal, says JFCOM officials, is to give tactical commanders “the ability to access and control intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) sensors that directly benefit their operations.” The technology they plan to use is called Adaptive Joint Command, Control, Communications, Computer Systems and ISR Node—or AJCN, for short.
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. has flown a second YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft, stepping up the pace of testing for the new uncrewed fighter escort. The company also announced “Gambit 6,” a fresh variant in its CCA family meant for air-to-ground missions.
