Auterion and blackned are entering into a strategic partnership
to develop an integrated technology for the integration and control
of UxV in the digital battlefield.
HEIMERTINGEN, Germany and ARLINGTON, Va., June 18,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Auterion, manufacturer of
an open operating system for the control of autonomous robotic
systems, and blackned GmbH, which provides a core element for the
digitalization of land forces with its TACTICAL CORE middleware,
are entering into a strategic partnership to develop an integrated
technology for the integration and control of UxV in the digital
battlefield.
The aim of this partnership is to integrate
Auterion's manufacturer-independent control software for autonomous
robotic systems into the information and communication network of
the digital battlefield.
The aim of this partnership is to integrate Auterion's
manufacturer-independent control software for autonomous robotic
systems into the information and communication network of the
digital battlefield. This enables the faster distribution of
reconnaissance data and the acceleration of the sensor-to-shooter
chain through the integration of UxV into the TACTICAL CORE system
network. This makes the intelligence networks denser and more
robust.
The monitoring and control of UxV is therefore no longer limited
to manufacturer-specific systems but can be taken over from
different starting and location points of the battlefield via a
common platform in accordance with the software-defined defense
(SDD) principle.
As part of this cooperation, the parties are specifically
planning:
1. Expansion of the TACTICAL CORE portfolio:
The addition includes porting the TACTICAL CORE runtime
environment and supported communication links to the Auterion
Skynode as well as integration with the Auterion Operating System
(AuterionOS) and Auterion Mission Control (AMC).
2. Efficient and secure integration of UxV:
The overall solution creates the necessary foundations to enable
the safe and efficient control of UxVs in the digital battlefield
and to establish a cross-sectional platform for the digitalization
of land forces for this purpose.
3. Innovation for the international market:
Auterion and blackned plan to jointly market the solution in
both the NATO and global defense and security markets. This
includes continuous further development to meet changing
requirements.
In the coming weeks, demonstrations of the solution will be held
for potential customers. These presentations will highlight the
added value of the solution and possible next steps for integration
into existing systems.
This cooperation strengthens the position of both companies as
leading players in the field of digital, software-defined
infrastructures for defense and security. The solution developed as
part of this partnership promises a significant increase in
innovation speed, efficiency and security when integrating UxV
systems from different manufacturers and mission profiles on a
large scale into a networked battlefield.
About Auterion:
Auterion develops the world's leading operating system for
autonomous robotic systems (UxV). Based on this technology,
companies and authorities worldwide can operate their UxS fleets
more efficiently for monitoring, data collection, maintenance and
logistics. The platform offers open interfaces between the main
components of a UxV system. This gives fleet operators more
flexibility in integrating mission-specific platform types,
payloads and mission applications. With more than 120 employees in
offices in the US, Germany,
Switzerland and Ukraine, Auterion's global customer base
includes drone manufacturers such as Deltaquad, GE Aviation or
Freefly Systems, as well as operators of large drone fleets such as
the US and UK governments and Walmart/DroneUp. Find out more at
