Addressing Evolving Threats with Advanced Command and Control
In the face of increasingly complex security challenges, military commanders are tasked with addressing evolving threats and synchronizing assets for optimized effects. This is where Lockheed Martin's DIAMONDShield™ steps in as a multi-domain battle management system that revolutionizes how the battlespace is managed. By connecting, commanding, and controlling assets across air, land, sea, and space, DIAMONDShield™ acts as the 'brains' of operations, recommending assets in response to threats and integrating intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance data for actionable intelligence.
Real-Time Decision-Making with Artificial Intelligence Integration
One of the key features of DIAMONDShield™ is its integration of artificial intelligence, which significantly increases the speed of decision-making in the battlespace. The system allows operators to contingency plan, assess enemy intentions, and expedite tactical decisions with shorter timeframes. For example, in air operations planning, the system's AI optimizes air tasking orders, minimizing the time needed to hours, or even minutes for critical missions. This reduction in decision-to-action time is crucial in facing threats that are growing in sophistication and speed.
Maximizing Capability through Open Systems Architecture
At the core of DIAMONDShield™ lies its modular open systems architecture (OSA), designed for interoperability and integration with a wide range of capabilities, sensors, weapons, and legacy systems. The system's use of standard protocols like Link 16 allows for seamless data incorporation from various military and civilian sources, enhancing situational awareness and mission effectiveness. By leveraging U.S. and NATO standards, DIAMONDShield™ ensures rapid and efficient networking with coalition forces, offering a native advanced command and control system for joint operations.
