Project EVEREST

FASTER INFORMATION. QUICKER DECISIONS. DECISIVE IMPACT.

On June 14 - 15 at the UK Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) BattleLab in Dorset, over 200 British and 50 international military visitors attended Project Everest, a large demonstration of capability that’s available today for the MoD.

Project EVEREST integrated L3Harris’ tactical radio, ISR, data link and satellite communication offerings, portfolio of CORVUS multirole EW systems and Drone Guardian C-sUAS solution, among others, with key inputs from trusted industry partners , , , , and .

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING:

"In terms of partnerships, I think we've set a really good exemplar of exactly what things could look like going forward."

Major General John Collyer, Director Information & Chief Information Officer for the British Army gives his view on the EVEREST experiment.

TAKING ON EVEREST

Led by over 50 L3Harris engineers over three months, the experiment’s objective was to show the MoD how soldiers could benefit from military-off-the-shelf (MOTS) technologies that are available today through the in-depth demonstration of live, real-time mission scenarios.

Capabilities showcased

ACHIEVING MULTI-DOMAIN CONNECTIVITY

Project EVEREST successfully demonstrated how combining software-defined radios with satellite communications can pass voice, data and situational awareness to wherever required by adapting to the need and threat environment.

PROTECTION

Ukraine has demonstrated the vulnerability of static, grouped teams. The EVEREST experiment facilitated dispersed HQs with an unprecedented degree of mobility.

DRONE AWARENESS AND C-sUAS

Low-cost disposable drones are the new threat vector. EVEREST showed how this threat can be neutralised with C-sUAS systems, supported by land Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD).

INTEGRATED 8

Informing and de-risking the Army’s Integrated 8, and more urgently 4+1.

COALITION INTEROPERABILITY

To increase operational effectiveness with major improvements to always-on situational awareness.

NEW CONOPS

EVEREST explored the leap in bandwidth resulting from High Capacity Line of Sight (HCLOS) technologies, facilitating the dispersed HQ, point to point VoIP calls and conferencing and innovative sensor arrays.

HF FOR THE BACKHAUL

Modern HF enables all-informed situational awareness and data nets, long range voice and data, Last Ditch Data (LDD) and allied interoperability in a well-established, reliable architecture.

DEMOCRATISATION OF EW

Down to the patrol level, enabling rich, networked and resilient electronic surveillance capability, rapidly reconfigurable to electronic attack or protection.

SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS

Enabling tactical flexibility and dispersed operational connectivity with UK defence CIS at multiple classifications and global reach via multiple constellations, bringing choice and resilience.
