What do you know about the term "Connected Operator"? "Connected Operator" refers to the integration of modern technology into the operations of unmanned systems in public safety, creating a highly informed, coordinated, and mission-ready force. Utilizing and being part of the Tactical Bubble, these operators access a network of tools that provide actionable data and ensure mission success. Equipping teams with advanced technology enhances operational efficiency and protects lives. This includes real-time communication, improved situational awareness, and seamless coordination between manned and unmanned systems. Real-time tracking, geofencing, and interoperability keep teams synchronized and prepared, transforming public safety and defense operations for superior outcomes and unmatched protection.

Anduril Industries has launched Pulsar, a first-of-its-kind family of modular, multi-mission-capable electromagnetic warfare (EW) systems. ⚡️ These EW systems utilize artificial intelligence at the tactical edge to rapidly identify and defeat current and future threats across the electromagnetic spectrum, including small and medium-size drones. The next generation of EW systems must enable real-time understanding of the spectrum, and provide rapid delivery of effective countermeasures against known and new threats, across domains and modalities. That is precisely what Pulsar does. 🤝 Pulsar integrates a software-defined radio, graphics processing unit, and additional diverse compute into a compact and powerful capability that enables radio frequency machine learning (RFML) to rapidly identify and adapt to emerging threats at the edge. The system supports a range of capabilities as a multi-mission EW solution, including electronic countermeasures, counter-unmanned systems, electronic support, electronic attack, direction finding, geolocation, and other advanced EW capabilities. Pulsar’s modular form factor can also be adapted and integrated onto ground vehicles (Pulsar-V) or aircraft (Pulsar-A) to support distributed EW operations across multiple domains. 🔗 Find out more >> https://hubs.la/Q02wF--50 “Built to survive and win in highly-congested and contested electromagnetic environments, Pulsar enables warfighters to counter state and non-state actors employing EW capabilities integrated with other advanced technological systems operating across the electromagnetic spectrum and cyberspace domain.” - Sam El-Akkad, General Manager of RF/EW Systems at Anduril. 👏 Read more on the Defense Advancement website. #defense #technology #electronicwarfare #countermeasures #cyberspace

"As modern warfare pushes further and further into the digital realm, the Pentagon needs the latest and greatest in wireless technology to support its increasingly complex network needs. But when that technology comes from a sector motivated by profit rather than national security requirements, the Defense Department needs to find a way to take advantage of both worlds. Military operations rely on secure wireless networks for piloting drones, connecting sensors and communicating, among other things. Today, a commercial market that has poured billions of dollars into research and development means standards-based 5G — or fifth generation — networks are ahead of Defense Department comms in both technical and performance criteria, said Mari Silbey, senior director of partnerships and outreach at technology nonprofit US Ignite."

https://lnkd.in/g7z6mQZE I am happy that SFPD has these new tools, but from the article's statements about the requirements, it sounds like what they need is persistent situational awareness that could be more efficiently provided by an aircraft with wide area motion imagery. Current electric multi-rotors do not have the endurance or ruggedness to have the stamina for this maritime environment for any logical sustainment. Maybe Logos Technologies could help? or BAE Systems? The challenge in the SFO AOR is the weather - then operationally you have the tall buildings which equate to longer focal lengths and better stability for imaging sensors.

After a decade of building the future, tech’s new guard is going back to the American past -- spurring a funding frenzy in defense technology. Between 2021 and 2023, investors funneled $108 billion into defense tech companies building a range of cutting-edge tools, including hypersonic missiles, performance-enhancing wearables and satellite surveillance systems, according to the data firm #PitchBook, which predicts the defense tech market will surge to $184.7 billion by 2027. https://lnkd.in/dFEZXkk9
