TAG: BRIDGING THE BEST OF COMMERCIAL AND DEFENSE SOLUTIONS L3Harris’ innovative Transport Aggregation Gateway ensures mission-critical communications by providing end users access to a swath of integrated Commercial and Military Satellite communications solutions— from LTE/5G and Line-Of-Sight radio to SATCOM—to complete their missions.
The U.S. Department of Defense and partner forces around the world are set to benefit from a game-changing technology employed by television networks to ensure the highest quality in coverage of the Super Bowl and Olympic Games. L3Harris Technologies has partnered with connectivity specialist Dejero to offer Transport Aggregation Gateway (TAG) software, which ensures missioncritical armed forces communications across the modern battlespace— including denied or degraded Commandand-Control environments. TAG solves a critical capability gap that has been plaguing expeditionary units for decades, according to Shane Sims, L3Harris product director.
For years, Tactical Operations Centers would have several disparate satellite terminals operating at the same time, without interconnections to perform tasks such as load-balancing. As operators’ thirst for data increases, and as adversaries enhance their ability to limit, deny or jam communications, the strain on integrated tactical network infrastructure intensifies in kind. In a vision statement released last year, Gen. Jay Raymond, head of both U.S. Space Force and the U.S. Air Force’s Space Command, stated: “Adversaries understand the advantage SATCOM brings our warfighters and are working to deny, degrade and destroy these capabilities.
