GENERAL DYNAMICS MISSION SYSTEMS WILL SHOWCASE: 

Shadowcat™ Radio: The new Shadowcat radio provides a modern, affordable, resilient radio for squad level communications in contested environments. The radio’s advanced RF technology makes it less detectable and susceptible to interference and jamming attempts of the radio’s transmission by adversaries. As additional Shadowcats are added to the network, they work together offering the resilience of distributed cooperative beamforming that increases the effective signal power, increases communication range, and provides directional diversity to overcome physical obstructions, e.g. foliage, buildings, and jamming.

GPS Source Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (APNT) and GPS Data Transmission: APNT and GPS signal retransmission solutions such as the Mounted Assured PNT (MAPS GEN-1) solution and the ECHO-II Smart Repeater provide critical timing and position data in GPS denied and degraded environments. MAPS GEN-1, based on the GPS Source SENTRySCOUT™ system, provides valid and APNT data, independent of the availability or integrity of GPS signals. The core of the MAPS GEN-1 system, the ED3 PNT Hub, is widely utilized in a variety of ground vehicle applications and is the lead platform for Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) making the ED3 your path to M-Code. MAPS GEN-1 is currently being fielded by the Army and the next generation of APNT system is currently in development. When GPS indoor transmission is the primary concern, the ECHO-II is a reliable signal repeater ideal for ground vehicles, aircraft, and buildings when time-to-first-fix is critical.

SATCOM-on-the-Move®: General Dynamics SATCOM-on-the-Move (SOTM) antennas provide secure, beyond-line-of-sight communications for troops operating in remote locations. Designed for rugged tactical environments, these antennas can be mounted on fast-moving vehicles, aircraft, and UAVs to provide reliable X, Ku, or Ka Mil and commercial band satellite communications anytime, anywhere.

Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS): General Dynamics Mission Systems has teamed with Dedrone, the market leader in airspace security, through a value-added reseller agreement to integrate its mission-critical solutions with Dedrone’s drone detection and defeat technologies. The Dedrone C-UAS technology portfolio combines machine-learning software with best-in-class hardware sensors, electronic attack methods such as smart jamming, and defeat weapons to provide early warning, classification of, and mitigation against drone threats.

TACDS® - Tactical Cross Domain Solution: Effective and accessible communications to and from deployed soldiers is essential during multi-domain operations. TACDS brings safe and secure information sharing to the tactical edge. As a small size, weight and power, tamper-resistant cross domain solution, TACDS is ideal for almost any vehicle, mobile shelter, ground sensor system, aircraft, UAV, or soldier-worn application. Meeting NSA Phase 1 Raise the Bar requirements, TACDS brings security to mission communication between commanders and the battlefield across multiple forces and domains.

TACLANE® Family of Encryptors: TACLANE - the most widely deployed family of High Assurance Type 1 certified encryptors in the world - has been protecting critical information and securing national security systems for over 20 years. Building on that legacy, the TACLANE portfolio continues to modernize and advance technology to protect against advanced threats of today and future proofing for tomorrow:

TACLANE-Nano (KG-175N) Encryptor: Now NSA certified, the TACLANE-Nano is the smallest, lightest and most power efficient HAIPE® (High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor) available today. Designed with the latest in crypto modernization technology, TACLANE-Nano provides high assurance protection for voice, video and data classified up to Top Secret at 200 Mb/s aggregate throughput. It is MIL-STD-810G ruggedized to withstand the rigors of any mobile environment from backpack to flyaway kit to deployable systems and platforms.

TACLANE-ES10 (KG-185A) E-Series Encryptor: The New TACLANE E-Series Ethernet Data Encryption (EDE) compliant encryptors provide high speed, high performance Layer 2 security. The TACLANE-ES10, the smallest, lightest, most power efficient 20 Gb EDE encryptor is designed to secure the enterprise backbone, data center and campus interconnectivity. Compliant with the latest EDE Specification, the TACLANE-ES10 is a cryptographic modernization replacement for legacy Ethernet (ESS), SONET and other link encryptors.

TACLANE-FLEX (KG-175F): Representing the next generation of network encryption, the TACLANE-FLEX is a customizable platform that provides the ability to scale from 100 Mb/s to 1 Gb/s throughput and is the same form and fit of the TACLANE-Micro (KG-175D).

TACLANE-1G (KG-175G) Network Encryptor is ruggedized for both tactical and strategic environments and is NSA certified to protect information classified Top Secret/SCI and below. The TACLANE-1G is the first High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) with cyber sensing capabilities available today.
