New defenses

Article Abstract:

The US Marine Corps is developing new warfare systems to extend a web of air defenses over its expeditionary forces ashore, at the center of which, will be a new command-and-control (C2) complex, the first phase of the Corps' effort to unify its various C2 systems. The unit would be taking a holistic look at existing future platforms, sensors and weapons deployed or development, looking for gaps that need to be filled, besides assessing the infrastructure including the computing network, data backbones and bandwidth to ensure the system's connective tissue will accommodate existing and future components.

Lockheed Martin explores JASSM vertical-launch potential

Article Abstract:

The full-rate production of the air-launched AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) has led its manufacturer, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control to study the potential of its being adapted to the vertical launching systems of Navy warships. The manufacturer is due to complete a study requested by the Navy on adapting the JASSM to the Mk41 vertical launching systems (VLS), standard on the Navy's Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers and most of its Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers.
