Collins Aerospace boosts Marine Corps situational awareness

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Collins Aerospace, a business unit of RTX (NYSE: RTX), a $171 billion market cap aerospace and defense giant currently trading at its Fair Value according to InvestingPro analysis, has successfully showcased a new technology at Project Convergence Capstone 5 (PCC5), a large-scale military exercise, that integrates military and commercial sensor data to provide the U.S. Marine Corps with enhanced real-time situational awareness. This technology aims to facilitate faster decision-making and improve operational effectiveness for military commanders.

During the exercise, Collins Aerospace worked in collaboration with the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab (MCWL) as part of a multi-year development and testing plan. The technology consolidated data from various sources, including both military and commercial sensors, and delivered it to the Landing Force Operations Center, which is responsible for coordinating amphibious landings.

Elaine Bitonti, vice president and general manager for the Connected Battlespace & Emerging Capabilities at Collins Aerospace, emphasized the dynamic nature of battlefield operations and the necessity for rapid adaptation. Bitonti stated, "At PCC5, Collins integrated ship and airborne platforms to provide Marine Corps commanders with the clear, secure data needed to make decisions quickly."

The integration of diverse data sources not only accelerates decision-making processes but also complicates the ability of adversaries to track and target U.S. forces, thereby enhancing the safety and effectiveness of military operations. Collins Aerospace is engaged in technology demonstrations to further readiness in deploying new solutions for collecting, aggregating, processing, and sharing data. These solutions are designed to support joint force commanders in acting swiftly and decisively with weapons or force maneuvers.
