WATCH: Collaborative Mission Autonomy for Launched Effects

With IDGA’s C4ISR event wrapping up this week, don’t miss this exclusive fireside chat Collaborative Mission Autonomy for Launched Effects. In this in-depth discussion, Matt Roper, Chief of the Joint Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance Centre for the NATO Communication and Information Agency hosts Katherine Wilson, Senior Principal Systems Engineer at Collins Aerospace, as they explore how collaborative mission autonomy is redefining C4ISR capabilities.

In this conversation, Wilson shares exclusive insights into how launched effects—emerging from the Future Vertical Lift initiative—are boosting the range, lethality, and resilience of manned aircraft in complex missions. Additionally, she breaks down their latest demonstrations, like the Edge 24 initiative, and reveals how platform-agnostic, modular open systems architecture (MOSA) is enhancing mission performance in contested environments.

Watch the full video to learn how these cutting-edge technologies are transforming defense operations and preparing joint forces for success in the field.
