AFLCMC/XA established this ID/IQ contract to fulfill their goal of bringing multi-domain system capabilities and characterization of new technologies and systems through studies, recurrent demonstration, and rapid development that address Warfighter needs while launching high-confidence programs. Through this ID/IQ Pacific Defense is eligible to compete for Task Orders (TOs) in all categories of the ID/IQ contract.

Pacific Defense, a leading open systems integrator delivering Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) products and solutions, announced today it has signed a contract with the Space Control Technology Branch of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop and demonstrate a low size, weight, and power (SWaP) sensor built on MOSA principles to address the rapidly expanding challenge of space situational awareness (SSA) in the cislunar regime. The “Moonraker” system builds upon Pacific Defense’s expertise in MOSA system development, leveraging 3U software-defined radio (SDR) and graphics processing unit (GPU) technology, as well as an open software framework comprised of company and industry-provided SSA applications.

Pacific Defense, a leading open systems integrator delivering Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) products and mission solutions, announced today that it is has signed a contract with the Defense Innovation Unit to deliver assured positioning, navigation, and timing (APNT) 3U cards developed in alignment with the Sensor Open System Architecture™, SOSA™ Technical Standard and C5ISR Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS). The prototype Other Transaction (OT) award builds upon the Pacific Defense SX-124 APNT 3U card developed on internal R&D funds. The SX-124 can receive, intelligently filter, and fuse multiple PNT sources to provide accurate and reliable PNT data to the weapon system platform, its subsystems, and operators.

Pacific Defense, a leading open systems integrator delivering products and solutions based on Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), announced that it has signed a contract with the U.S. Marines to deliver multiple SX-3000 systems in support of The MAGTF Electronic Warfare Ground Family of Systems (MEGFoS) static site system evaluation effort.

Pacific Defense, a leading open systems integrator delivering Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) products and mission solutions, announced today that it has signed a definitive contract with Raytheon Australia to deliver force-level Electronic Warfare (EW) systems for Australia’s LAND 555 Phase 6 program. The chassis-based EW systems will include an array of plug-in cards and mission software, including wideband Software Defined Radios (SDR) and EW application software, enabling electronic support (ES) for signal detection and electronic attack (EA) jamming techniques. The new EW systems will be fitted to Bushmaster vehicles and will be interoperable with EW systems acquired by the RAAF, Royal Australian Navy, and other members of the Five Eyes community including the US Army.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) announced today that it is one of two companies awarded a prime contract by the Army to build a prototype for the Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN), the first Intelligence ground station enabled by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML). The $36 million contract award is for the competitive prototyping phase that will span 14 months.

U.S. Navy researchers needed an experimental command-and-control computer system that not only complies with open-systems standards, but also provides a secure and rapidly reconfigurable architecture. They found their solution from Spectranetix Inc. in Sunnyvale, Calif. Officials of the Office of Naval Research in Arlington, Va., announced a $9.2 million contract to Spectranetix last week for the Modular Open Suite of Standards/Sensor Open Systems Architecture Node Based Resilient Networking and Electronics Warfare Orchestration at the Edge project. Company experts will develop and demonstrate a command, control, communications, computers intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) implementation of the Navy’s Enabling Dynamic Operational Radio Frequency (ENDOR) architecture.

Spectranetix, Inc., a Pacific Defense company, is proud to announce our participation in the Tri-Services Open Architecture Interoperability Demonstration (TSOA-ID) Expo in Solomons, MD. Tuesday March 15, 2022. Spectranetix will be demonstrating a CMOSS multi-mission prototype aligned to the US Army CMOSS Mounted Form Factor (CMFF) efforts. The demo will showcase the innovative CMOSS/SOSA™ work driven by Pacific Defense and their select industry partners such as REDCOM Laboratories, Forcepoint, and CISCO, to truly integrate the missions in one chassis for Network Enabled Mission Command. The demonstration will highlight the operational benefits of robust, converged communication, situational awareness, Electronic Warfare / Signals Intelligence (EW/SIGINT) as well as Assured Positioning Navigation and Timing (APNT) capabilities integrated into a single CMOSS mounted form factor.

Spectranetix, Inc., a Pacific Defense company, is proud to announce the SX-124, ruggedized 3U OpenVPX™ high-performance position, navigation and timing (PNT) solution.
