Reaching New Heights for Communication Network Modernization

L3Harris, leveraging readily available equipment from a collaborative industry consortium and its own flexible, interoperable C5ISR network of situational awareness capabilities, integrates solutions into cohesive networks that enables interoperability between disparate user networks.

In a recent exercise in the Netherlands, dubbed “EVEREST NL,” the company alongside a team of industry partners demonstrated how technology available today, unified within a secure network leveraging open-system architectures, can complement legacy networks or provide entirely new systems toward a full Command, Control, Computers, Communication, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) solutions.

“Our network flexibility, enabled by state-of-the art radio technology at the core, is a prerequisite for effective ISR, electronic warfare and air-to-ground integration as well as a seamlessly integrated all-domain common operational picture,” said Greg Zoughbi, Director, Business Development, L3Harris. “Our comprehensive C5ISR solutions enable the manoeuvre forces in the field to enhance NATO and coalition collaboration effectiveness thereby increasing military forces’ survivability. We can seamlessly connect any user to any effector anywhere. Whatever a customer’s communication network problem is, we have a solution.”

During the EVEREST NL exercise, the team showcased how best-of-breed capabilities from across the market can deliver expedited threat identification-to-elimination effect with L3Harris technology serving as the foundational backbone for the ecosystem.

The represented network connected all echelons of a land force representation from a Brigade or Task Force headquarters element down to the dismounted soldier. The combined system provided ground and satellite communication connectivity through various frequency bands with high-capacity and resilient waveforms, on the ground and through the air, as well as low-Earth orbit SATCOM. The system provided a comprehensive common operational picture as well as electronic warfare measures to support sensing, monitoring and protecting the network as a whole.

Ensuring the safety of troops requires tested, integrated and battle-proven technology in addition to reliable and resilient connectivity in a PACE [Primary, Alternative, Contingency, Emergency] network for land forces.

L3Harris has built a legacy on delivering state-of-the-art technology that leads to iterative steps into new ways of performing tactical communications.

It is the balance between legacy experience and insight from solving customer problems for decades, commitment to software-defined and open architectures, intentional innovation and reaching out across industry to identify and team with partners with key specialities that helps L3Harris fill critical capability gaps for nations around the world – for today’s fight and into the future – that makes L3Harris the “go-to” solutions provider, according to Steubing.
