Lockheed Martin, in collaboration with its team partners, demonstrated an advanced cross-domain, multi-mission Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) prototype during the Balikatan exercise in the Indo-Pacific region. The demonstration highlighted the system’s capabilities in integrating operations across multiple domains, enhancing joint mission effectiveness among participating forces.
Balikatan, an annual military exercise primarily between the United States and the Philippines, provides a platform for testing emerging technologies in realistic scenarios. The NGC2 prototype focuses on improving command and control functions, enabling seamless data sharing and decision-making in complex environments spanning air, sea, land, and cyber domains.
Specific details on the prototype’s performance, such as integration levels with allied systems or operational outcomes from the exercise, were not disclosed in available reports. The effort aligns with broader initiatives to advance multi-mission capabilities amid regional security dynamics.
