The U.S. armed forces will be testing a new real time hi-tech intelligence system for combat troops this September.
The new MAJIIC, or Multisensor Aerospace-Ground Joint ISR Interoperability Coalition Architecture will enable U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere to locate an enemy position and share information with allies in near-real time, American Forces Press Service reported Thursday.
ISR stands for “intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.”
The Defense Department will test the next phase of MAJIIC in September, AFPS said. The project is being operationally managed by the Joint Forces Command,in Norfolk, Va., and it is being developed at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., at New Mexico State University at Las Cruces and at the command’s headquarters, according to U.S. officials.
“It’s all about a single-point query to get at all of the ISR information that’s available based on location, time, status of the ISR,” Navy Capt. Allan Nadolski, director for intelligence at U.S. Joint Forces Command, told a conference in Washington Wednesday.
