Systems of systems
Radars, datalinks, and catapults share a combat network that must tolerate battle damage. Redundant pathways and disciplined change control keep sorties on schedule.
Aviation data fusion
Pilots receive fused tracks from ship and airborne sensors. Software updates are tested ashore in hardware-in-the-loop labs before touching production gear.
Cyber hygiene afloat
Air-gapped maintenance tablets, USB policies, and continuous monitoring defend against supply-chain implants while crews rotate frequently.
