Lockheed Martin has updated a command and control system for the Missile Defense Agency to evaluate at MDA’s missile defense integration and operations center.
The Command Control, Battle Management and Communications System is designed to help commanders view missile threats, Lockheed said Wednesday.
Rob Smith, vice president of C4ISR at Lockheed, said the company gave the system an update in order to maintain the C2BMC’s ballistic missile defense functions.
The C2BMC Spiral 8.2 contains millions of software code lines that are meant to help the system’s sensor to shooter systems, enhance debris mitigation features and boost phase cues.
The update ballistic missile defense system is set to enter operational and hardware-in-the-loop tests after the second cycle of testing.
Lockheed worked with Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics and 20 other small companies develop the technology.
