Hughes network systems have been awarded a $950,000,000 contract to improve & develop a modern (ABMS) “Advanced Battle Management System”
Hughes will offer flexible satellite communications solutions that leverage open systems design, modern software and algorithm development.
These solutions will enable ABMS, as part of the broader Joint All Domain Command and Control effort, to deliver information accessibility to the warfighter.
The contract is part of a broader security effort to provide development and operation of systems as a unified force across domains and enable capabilities through multiple integrated platforms.
The ABMS has been developed to replace the E-8 JSTARS ground surveillance capability and is expected to come into service by the mid-to-late 2020s.
