ACC, industry to convene on airborne networking

Air Force Air Combat Command will host an industry day April 12 to discuss joint aspects of airborne networking, according to a Federal Business Opportunities notice posted last week.

“The meeting will include briefings and panels by high-level ACC and Air Force Life Cycle Management Center leadership as well as representatives from governmental scientific organizations and Defense Innovation Unit Experimental,” the March 14 notice stated.

Participants will cover distributed computing, net management, information transport and cybersecurity as they relate to airborne networking, as well as industry's role in efforts including Navy Tactical Edge integration, air-to-ground integration, improved battle management command-and-control, multidomain fusion and agile communications, according to the notice.

ACC aims to improve and foster relationships with non-traditional companies, discuss its technological and materiel needs and improve military-industry communication.

ACC did not provide more details by press time (March 23).
