A key feature of this effort focuses on development and integration with airborne applications including Resolute Sentry, which provides real-time multidomain battlespace awareness in highly contested environments. As part of this award, BAE Systems will mature components of the Insight system to meet operational requirements through enhancements, accomplish integration with developmental and operational systems and conduct demonstrations for transition opportunities.
 
“This latest Insight award demonstrates the confidence the government has in BAE Systems’ ability to deliver complex solutions to tough operational and intelligence challenges,” said Meg Redlin, product line director for Mission Systems at BAE Systems. “This also highlights our collaboration with our FAST Labs research and development organisation, and our commitment to developing and eventually transitioning technology.”

This effort will continue the work done on previous contracts to provide techniques for generating threat course of action scores from multiple sensors, domains and information types, to include modelling, simulation, algorithm development, assessment and demonstrations.
 
BAE Systems’ work on the Insight Integration program will take place in San Diego, with distributed engineering teams across the United States, and furthers the technology that was initially developed by the company’s FAST Labs research and development organisation.
