In collaboration with the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, Collins Aerospace has been dedicated to a long-term initiative, aiming to refine and evaluate these capabilities through exercises involving active military personnel.
The recent demonstration involved amalgamating data from both military and commercial sensors, offering marines an enriched and comprehensive perspective of the combat environment.
The processed information was relayed to the Landing Force Operations Center, a hub for orchestrating amphibious operations.
The integration of data from government and commercial sensors by Collins Aerospace is said to help expedite decision-making for military leaders.
