Research abstract

DCGS has been transforming itself to become a network of sensors, platforms, people, devices, content, and services that deliver outcomes in the operational environment in support of air components and tactical warfighters across the globe. This transformation, along with the continued maturation of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) tools, postures DCGS Next Gen to be the primary sense makers in the JADC2 construct. Shipcom will assist DCGS in the development and fielding of 5G networks to enable the timely processing and dissemination of data from any sensor to users at the tactical edge and/or strategic levels.  Assets in any domain may be platforms-of-opportunity to serve as communications nodes enabled by omnidirectional and directional line-of-sight (LOS), and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) capabilities.  Attributes of interest include: increased data rates, reduced latency, improved anti-jam, Low Probability of Intercept/Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD) characteristics, scalability of nodes/connections, improved integration of dissimilar users, etc. To meet DCGS 5G Initiative –Team Shipcom proposes an exciting new end-to-end AI based 5G solution from Celona, Inc. for network infrastructure for both base and expeditionary testing.   Our technology working with both existing 4G and guiding them to 5G Solutions. Key Differentiators:  •    End to end turnkey, converged 4G/5G solution, designed exclusively for the enterprise.  •    Deterministic performance for critical apps – Micro Slicing •    Enterprise friendly management and operations  •    Integrates with all existing Enterprise network services & security protocols
