• RTX’s BBN Technologies demonstrated PACE4ACE, a self-healing communications system funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory, designed to keep secure combat air support data flowing when networks are jammed or unavailable.
• The architecture automatically selects the best available pathway across military or commercial links, switching traffic without operator input to maintain continuity.
• In a test across four dispersed sites, the system shifted off disrupted high-capacity links to alternative waveforms while keeping mission applications synchronized.
• The result supports the US Air Force’s Agile Combat Employment concept, targeting more resilient communications for dispersed operations in contested environments.
