Network-Centric Rotorcraft Demonstrations
ST. LOUIS, May 05, 2008
ξ Boeing,
ξ the U.S. Army's Aviation Applied Technology Directorate,
ξ AMRDEC Aviation Systems Integration Facility,
ξ Harris Corp.
ξ Rockwell Collins

ξ received the American Helicopter Society's (AHS) 2008 Howard Hughes Award during the AHS International Annual Forum in Montreal on April 30

The Network Centric Operations (NCO) Technology Development Team
ξ won the award for successfully demonstrating how the integration of network-enabling capabilities on rotorcraft platforms
ξ leads to improved battlefield situational awareness and mission effectiveness

A prototype of Boeing's Block III AH-64D Apache Longbow
ξ will provide network-centric warfare capabilities for the U.S. Army's current and future force
ξ In laboratory tests (!)
ξ the team demonstrated interoperability between the Apache Block III and
ξ an open systems architecture based on commercial standards (busted)

The Apache Block III
ξ became the first network-enabled combat helicopter
ξ to conduct operations in a field environment at the Future Combat Systems (FCS) Experiment 1.1 at White Sands Missile Range, N.M.

Experiments throughout 2007 demonstrated rotorcraft interoperability with key NCO technologies, including:

Network radios
ξ capable of hosting Internet Protocol waveforms

Middleware software
ξ to provide network connection,
ξ discovery,
ξ authentication and
ξ data-distribution services

Advanced software applications for
ξ situational awareness,
ξ mission planning and
ξ collaboration services

Gateway applications
ξ to integrate new network information with
ξ the platform's legacy Operational Flight Program applications

Presentation systems
ξ for effective interface to the aircrew,
ξ such as the FCS Warfighter Machine Interface System

"As U.S. and joint ground forces increasingly operate in a network-centric environment,
ξ the tests that this team successfully conducted prove that
ξ net-enabled rotorcraft platforms
ξ such as the Apache Longbow multi-role combat helicopter
ξ can provide information superiority on the battlefield
ξ while maintaining their primary roles," said Al Winn, Boeing Apache Programs vice president.

Other Boeing platforms and programs that participated in the tests included
ξ FCS,
ξ the V-22 Osprey,
ξ the CH-47 Chinook,
ξ the F/A-18 Hornet and
ξ Joint Effects Based Command and Control (JEBC2).
