Leonardo DRS to Build Air Combat Training Systems for Draken Europe
Leonardo DRS recently announced that it will provide advanced air combat training systems to Draken Europe. This will be to support operational readiness training for the UK Royal Air Force and Royal Navy.
The Leonardo DRS Airborne & Intelligence Systems business is partnered with Collins Aerospace to deliver the air combat training systems for use by Draken in support of the UK Ministry of Defense (MoD). The system is a Joint Secure Air Combat Training System (JSAS) for use with Draken’s Falcon 20 fleet.
JSAS enables the warfighter to train and improve joint tactics, techniques, and procedures in a secure environment against a peer adversary threat. The solution is comprised of aircraft mounted JSAS pods and a ground station, offering advanced, high capacity, low latency, and multi-hop mesh networking.
This type of system is already in use by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy for training and analysis and is expected to be cleared for use on the Falcon 20 fleet sometime this year.. As part of Draken’s current operational readiness training contract with the MoD, JSAS will make near real time combat training information available to be viewed on the ground and be ready for debrief immediately after landing.
Work will be performed at the Airborne & Intelligence Systems facility located in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
