| Network Enabled Situational
Awareness – Army (NESA2) / L3 Com
Implementing these technologies into sensors controlled at the
brigade level and below, L3 Communications' Com-Cept Division
is offering the Network Enabled Situational Awareness –
Army (NESA2), networking existing sensors to accelerate and
improve target location.
NESA2 links to existing sensors such as artillery locating
radars, Sentinel air defense radar, JSTARS ground control segment,
Prophet SIGINT system and Shadow or Warrior UAVs and theater
assets such as the Guardrail / ACS. NESA2 will establish a self-forming,
software based sensor to sensor connectivity that will allow
sensors to cross-cue each other based on a set of rules that
reflect the tactical commanders ISR/Targeting priorities for
the area of operation. L3 is planning to implement in NESA2
technologies proven and fielded with current USAF ISR systems.
NESA2 will deliver a common, joint picture, leveraging all information
currently in place, such as MCS, ASAS, BFT
and MTS and incorporate info DCGS-A and
CPOF.
