Summary
Modern multi-domain operational environments present increasingly agile, multi-spectral threat emitters spanning radio frequency (RF), infrared (IR), and electro-optical (EO) regimes. Conventional aircraft survivability equipment (ASE) suffers from hardwired, federated implementations, tightly coupled mechanical and electrical host dependencies, and high-latency upgrade cycles.
