The era of an all-digital battlefield has begun – several weapon systems and zone monitoring will be connected into a single network.
Militaryaerospace writes that areas with intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) will soon be controlled by the IRON system. This is the next step in protecting the environment three times over with ICBMs scattered across three US states.
The US Air Force has already signed a $75.5 million contract with Persistent Systems to implement this program. Experts are installing an Infrastructure-Based Regional Operational Network (IRON) around remote ICBM bases in North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming, as it is so difficult for human resources to monitor and control the 25,000-mile area where the bases are located.
Instead of humans, the IRON network based on the ad hoc mobile network MANET will do it. The IRON network includes the installation of base stations to create a permanent coverage, and security personnel at the operations center will monitor the area of the bases. Thanks to IRON, all combat units, audio, video, chats, etc. It will be able to seamlessly exchange critical tactical data, including
Besides tracking and communications, DEMİR will also be used to protect the base in terms of radar warfare, which is crucial in the era of full digitization and the threat of drone attacks.
Previously, Focus wrote that the Teal 2 drone will be taught to recognize soldiers on the battlefield: who is a “friend” and who is a “stranger”. In addition, the drone will determine whether a person is armed, even from his posture and whether he is holding a gun. The United States will also use satellites to track hypersonic missiles.
