The companies, Leonardo UK representing the UK, Mitsubishi Electric representing Japan, and both Leonardo and ELT Group representing Italy, will deliver GCAP’s ISANKE & ICS domain (Integrated Sensing and Non-Kinetic Effects & Integrated Communications Systems). ISANKE & ICS will provide the GCAP platform and its aircrew with mission-critical information and advanced self-protection capabilities.
The domain partners previously announced the signing of a collaboration agreement back in March at the DSEI Japan exhibition and have been working collectively, both in-person and remotely, throughout 2023. This has led to substantial technical progress in joint concept activities and the partners are working towards agreeing a joint project delivery set-up for the ISANKE & ICS domain.
The new tri-national treaty reflects the strong bonds of collaboration that have been formed between government and industry personnel involved in the programme. In addition, by supporting a range of practical aspects around travel, international working and information sharing, the treaty will support even closer working relationships and enable the next phase of the programme.
