EMPIRE (Enterprise Mission Planning and Integrated Real-time Execution): EMPIRE is a collaborative mission planning and execution monitoring tool suite developed by Progeny Systems, a General Dynamics Mission Systems business. With EMPIRE, users at all levels of command can plan, collaborate, coordinate, rehearse, monitor, replan, and debrief all aspects of the mission. It enables joint force multi-domain mission management, long-range fires & contested logistics coordination, tactical & operational package integration, open (GraphQL) external API for collaboration with legacy systems, tailored 4D command and control (C2), and automated slide-based briefing generation.
Modular Instrumented MDO Integrated Capability (MIMIC™): First demonstrated at Vanguard 23 at Ft. Huachuca, MIMIC is a family of unattended passive or active nodes designed to “mimic” different adversarial battlefield capabilities enabling U.S. and coalition forces to train more realistically in a Multi-Domain Operations environment. Designed around a core of common components and utilizing affordable COTS software-defined radios and operating software, each node can be configured to represent a different “personality” – e.g., RF Surveillance, HF Emitter, VHF/UHF Emitter, EO/IO Sensor, or Radar Signal Simulator. Powered by solar panels, long-lasting batteries, generators or shore power, each node can be quickly deployed and controlled remotely and represents an affordable path to creating more realistic training (and test & evaluation) environments.
ProtecD@R® high assurance encryption solutions are NSA certified to protect our Nation’s most sensitive Data at Rest. Designed for manned and unmanned operations in a variety of environments, the ProtecD@R solutions are Inline Media Encryptors (IME) that operate between your system’s core processor and storage media. Completely transparent to the end user, our products are high performance and standards compliant. ProtecD@R enables ease of handling and commercial transportation of encrypted storage media and can be tailored for unique mission needs.
Secure Multi-Function Processing: General Dynamics Mission Systems will be exhibiting a variety of mission processing, stores processors, and multi-level security capabilities designed to accelerate capability insertion and deployment, and enable joint all-domain operations with a secure, multi-level computing infrastructure. Our Multi-Function Processors are integrated with multi-level security and cross-domain solutions and feature both an air-cooled and liquid cooled option. We are also featuring Network Attached Storage system that feature Integrated Type 1 Encryption or Integrated MLS storage. Our Stores Management Systems are open mission system-based and support both Universal Armament Interface and Mil-Std-1760E.
Sentinel: General Dynamics has more than 65 years of experience supporting the strategic deterrence triad, both for U.S. Air Force Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) programs and U.S. Navy Strategic Weapons System programs. We are continuing this important work as a member of Northrop Grumman’s Nationwide Team for the U.S. Air Force’s Sentinel Program, supporting critical elements of the Sentinel program’s command and launch capabilities. Our team is executing the design and production of critical elements of the Command and Launch Segment for Higher Authority Communications and Codes and Cryptography, and producing strategic-grade components for the program’s Aerospace Vehicle Equipment segment.
Smart Munitions: General Dynamics Mission Systems has developed a range of new capabilities to address the challenges faced by Smart Munitions through a series of investments in Secure Communications, Assured APNT, and Collaborative Capabilities. These investments have resulted in products that are at TRL 5 or higher and incorporate feedback from government test events. From the HALO Assured PNT systems and the Guidance Electronics Unit for Long-Range Precision Fires on the ground to the space-based Multi-Orbit Navigation Module (Mo-Nav) to the aviation-based IMPACT system, General Dynamics has the solution to providing enhanced guidance capabilities for today’s contested environments.
Space: This portfolio enables secure and resilient space networks across all orbital regimes and includes secure mesh networking, an integrated cyber-secure space computing and network processing platform, and multi-level switches and network interface cards.
TACDS® is General Dynamics' tactical cross domain solution (CDS) that enables information and communications to be shared across different security domains in austere tactical environments. TACDS is a low Size, Weight, Power and Cost (SWaP-C), rugged, tamper-resistant CDS that comes in two form factors, TACDS-Vehicle Mount and TACDS-Low Profile. The demo will showcase TACDS’ ability to support over a dozen RTB compliant filters and protocols in support of various message formats.
truMLS is an open-platform solution that eliminates the need for multiple networks, applications and endpoints at varying security and access levels. By streamlining multilevel information access into a single access point, customers can increase assured information sharing, improve IT system efficiencies and lower costs using the tools designed for easy application and enhanced management.
Ultra-Wideband Radome: General Dynamics Mission Systems’ ultra-wideband (UWB) radome is designed for next-generation air dominance platforms and collaborative combat aircraft, and supports next-generation integrated sensors and multi-function arrays. The UWB radome features increased functionality over wide frequency spectrums as well as increased Maturing Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL). It can be tailored to integrated forebody (IFB) and different conformal geometries and is suited for incorporation of survivability requirements.
URC-300® Transceiver: The URC-300 is a versatile platform that supports multiple waveforms and provides exceptional radio frequency (RF) performance to support ground-to-air, line-of-sight and other mission critical applications. It provides interference-free communications in highly congested environments and improves immunity to outside interference such as other airfield channels, Wi-Fi transmitters, and commercial FM broadcast towers. Users can operate multiple URC-300s as close as 6.5 feet apart without interference, an unprecedented capability compared to currently available tactical man-pack radios that require at least 50 to as much as 115 feet of separation. This close proximity capability enables rapid grab-and-go, multi-channel operations during emergency situations.
