RTX's BBN Technologies, funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory, demonstrated PACE4ACE, a self-healing communication system that maintains continuous, secure data flow for combat air support despite jamming or network disruptions. The system automatically reroutes traffic across multiple communication channels, including satellite and tactical radios, without operator input. This technology supports the U.S. Air Force's Agile Combat Employment concept by keeping dispersed units connected and mission-ready. The demonstration validates PACE4ACE's ability to enhance operational reliability in contested environments, with ongoing development involving multiple partners across the U.S. and Canada.
