Teams from across Lockheed Martin showcased advanced technologies across multiple domains. 

• Command and Control - Lockheed Martin successfully integrated digital command and control (C2) capabilities with the first version of the Pentagon’s Joint Fires Network during the exercise. The exercise showcased the seamless integration of Lockheed Martin’s advanced command and control functions, employing Operational Planning to coordinate real-time decision-making across the theater of operations, with all the Services and operational domains. This approach enhanced the agility and responsiveness of joint operations, using live real-time data, and producing joint tasking orders in an operationally relevant environment. Valiant Shield marks the first test of the initial Joint Fires Network prototype, which will provide crucial insights for the Pentagon’s ongoing CJADC2 efforts.
  
  
• Space Based ISR-Collection Orchestration – As part of its Global Overwatch Experiment, Lockheed Martin used its Space Kit, which is an interface that connects tactical warfighting systems to space Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) services. In this experiment, the Kit autonomously looked at available Commercial and National overhead remote-sensing systems to determine the “best” collection strategy (e.g. platform, modality and parameters) to observe specified entities of interest, and then plan and schedule collection windows to monitor them. Once these ISR collections occurred, the Kit’s Sensor Processing Pipeline quickly ingested and enhanced the associated imagery, performed Automated Target Detection, and classified potential foes and friends within minutes. Along the way, the Kit automatically translated the imagery using the appropriate data fabric to allow for delivery across platforms.
