Lockheed Martin has been selected by the US Army to develop and analyse concepts that will enhance the unmanned systems component of its Air Maneuver Battle Laboratory in
Lockheed Martin will help the army explore advanced concepts of teaming manned and unmanned aerial platform system capabilities on the digitised battlefield. This contract is valued at approximately $1m.
A key component of Lockheed Martin’s contribution is the technology associated with the company’s generic unmanned supervisory segment (GUSS).
GUSS automates many unmanned mission management functions, enhancing the mission and decreasing the operator workload.
In particular, the focus will be on validating capability gaps in a distributed, simulation-supported, battle lab collaborative simulation environment-enabled, human-in-the-loop series of experiments.
These virtual simulation exercises will help create a foundation of understanding on the use and the synergistic effect of manned and unmanned system teaming on air and ground manoeuvre in support of joint and combined-arms operations.
The Air Maneuver Battle Lab’s mission is to examine advanced concepts and technology through warfighting experimentation and technology demonstrations to assess if they enhance the commander's ability to fight and win on the 21st-century battlefield.
Lockheed Martin will support this mission through the development, analysis and virtual simulation of potential army aviation modernisation concepts.
