PHILADELPHIA — After the Army’s network portfolio has dipped its toe in the water on two as-as-service models, it could be settings its sights next on applying the concept to edge computing, according to a top official.
As-a-service models are growing more attractive to the Army given the flexibility they provide. The department last year issued awards to two companies under a pilot effort for SATCOM-as-a-managed-service to help inform a potential way ahead and possibly broader strategy for as-a-service models. It’s also just beginning to kick off a radio-as-a-service pilot.

The F-15 Eagle is one of the world’s most prolific fighter aircraft, having been in production for 50 years and accrued an impressive service record that includes over 100 aerial victories. Today, an all-new variant is rolling off the Boeing manufacturing line in St. Louis, Missouri, which is where we begin “Eagle Month” – a deep dive into the Advanced F-15.
“The F-15EX Eagle II that we are building for the U.S. Air Force is one of Boeing’s most important aircraft right now. The proven platform, the speed, the payload, and the range.
PHILADELPHIA — After years of focusing on and designing capabilities for the European theater against threats in that region, the Army is turning its attention to devising electronic warfare systems for the Pacific.
With predicable troop rotations and forces stationed in Europe, undoubtably a primarily land-based military theater, the Army had developed much of its EW capability to counter the Russian threat.
This week we revisited a piece we did on the AN/DRC-8 Emergency Rocket Communications System, better known as ERCS, and expanded on it for a feature video. This somewhat obscure component of America’s Cold War-era strategic command and control enterprise was designed as a last resort for making sure the missiles and bombers would fly, even if all other forms of communications were knocked out. It’s a fascinating piece of ingenuity born out of the darkest era of nuclear brinksmanship.
Photos have emerged showing a U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F Super Hornet carrying what appears to be an air-launched version of the hugely versatile SM-6 missile, also known as the RIM-174. The SM-6 was originally designed as a surface-launched weapon that can counter air-breathing aerial threats at long ranges, ballistic missiles in their terminal stages of flight, and now even hypersonic weapons under specific circumstances. The SM-6 can also be used to strike high-priority ground targets, such as air defense sites, and warships, acting as a quasi-ballistic missile. The U.S.
Waverly Bernard Woodson, Jr. was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on August 3, 1922. On December 15, 1942, while in a pre-med program at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, Woodson left school to enlist in the Army with his brother. His high aptitude test score earned him a slot at the Antiaircraft Artillery Officer Candidate School, one of two Black soldiers in the class. However, the color of his skin precluded Woodson from finishing the course and commissioning as an officer.
Instead, Woodson was reassigned as a combat medic.
