Core Insights - Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works and XTEND have integrated the XTEND Operating System (XOS) into the MDCX autonomy platform, enhancing Command and Control (C2) capabilities for multi-class drones, which improves situational awareness in joint all-domain C2 (JADC2) scenarios [1][5]. Group 1: Technology Integration - The collaboration resulted in a demonstration of a Multi-Class MDCX (MC-MDCX) workstation, showcasing a larger UAS delivering a smaller class 1 drone for close-in missions [2]. - The integration allows a single operator to manage both larger and smaller UAS missions simultaneously, eliminating the need for mission handoffs to lower-tiered operators [3]. Group 2: Operational Efficiency - The demonstration highlighted a reduction in total manpower required for complex mission executions, thereby enhancing situational awareness across the mission space [4]. - XTEND's solutions enable operations even in GPS-denied environments or when radio frequency datalinks are jammed, improving operational effectiveness and reducing training time for new operators [5]. Group 3: Strategic Focus - Lockheed Martin Skunk Works is committed to optimizing operational flexibility and improving pilot safety through the integration of piloted and drone teaming technologies [6]. - Both companies are focused on applying these advancements to JADC2 missions and decision-making processes for autonomous systems [5].
