Modular Expeditionary Mission Command System
EDGE is a purpose built modular expeditionary mission command system that provides On-The-Move (OTM)/At-the-Halt (ATH) vehicle agnostic network capability. EDGE supports comprehensive network connectivity delivering expeditionary Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) to the tactical edge. EDGE delivers resilient Line and Beyond Line of Sight (LOS/BLOS) voice and data communication sharing by bridging Upper and Lower Tactical Internet through MANET, multi-orbit SATCOM and IP networks. It provides automated Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) for both permissive and non-permissive operational environments. This system is suited for a wide-range of operational environments from Tactical Operations Centers (TOC) to ad hoc demand for quick reaction teams operating OTM.
Operational Advantages
- Reliable end-to-end communication with six organic LOS & BLOS transport layers Low Earth Orbit (LEO, 5G/LTE, UHF/VHF/L/S/C).
- Three agnostic universal tactical radio adapters provide full interoperability with legacy and future communications.
- Vehicle platform agnostic, designed for full mobility across all tactical and non-tactical platforms.
- Integration hub for UAS, UGV, and EW assets.
- Multiply ease of connectivity with the ability to plug-n-play 10 additional transport nodes.
- Self-reliant, providing an automated network architecture.
- Access an extendable network with the auto PACE between tactical and mid-tier MANET with ATH and OTM satellite networks.
