L3Harris Technologies’ Distributed Spectrum Collaboration and Operations (DiSCO™) architecture recently enabled U.S. Indo-Pacific warfighters to detect surface radars on marine vessels during Talisman Sabre 2025, the largest bilateral military training event between Australia and the United States.
The company connected an aircraft and two Seasats Lightfish autonomous vessels equipped with compact electronic warfare payloads that streamed information to a secure, cloud-hosted DiSCO platform for analysis and operation.
“DiSCO gave the Talisman Sabre forces exercise commander timely threat intelligence and actionable information that helped identify high-priority surface targets and seize the tactical advantage,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris.
“This critical technology provided insight into real-world challenges culminating in DiSCO being lauded by numerous U.S. and coalition service leaders,” he added.
L3Harris developed DiSCO with internal investments to connect sensors and shooters to computer resources and cross-domain data sources. That connection takes place through edge nodes and cloud applications, fusion and live mission data analysis, mission data and electronic battle management.
DiSCO technology is a resilient, future-fit electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO) architecture that weaponizes electronic warfare (EW) data to achieve overmatch at campaign speed. It reduces the time from unknown signal identification from months to minutes; thus enhancing survivability and ensuring freedom of maneuver in all complex environments.
