Network centric warfare (NCW) is critical in modern-day high temp combat scenarios.
NCW is a military doctrine that uses advanced information technology to connect dispersed forces, enabling real-time information sharing and coordination. This approach is vital for joint all-domain operations, integrating air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains to enhance decision-making and operational effectiveness. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a key platform in this paradigm, designed not just for stealth and combat but also for serving as a central node in a vast military network.
A very powerful example of the aircraft’s Network-centric warfare capabilities has been demonstrated recently.
The US defense contractor Lockheed Martin said one of its F-35 stealth fighters sent classified data from Texas to a command center around 5,000 miles or about 8050 km away in Denmark, calling this a milestone and a successful demonstration of how systems work together.
Danish military F-35s flying out of Fort Worth exported the data via DAGGR-2, made by Lockheed’s Advanced Development Programs, also known as Skunk Works. The command-and-control system then passed the classified information through commercial satellite communications to Denmark’s Skrydstrup Air Base.
