Trace Systems participated in the US Air Force Research Laboratory’s Future Flag 25-2 exercise, testing its rugged edge computing systems built on the M-DRIVE architecture.
Held at Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, New York, the event was led by the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Transformational Capabilities Office to validate and refine emerging technologies under realistic field conditions.
It featured advanced testing in radio frequency spectrum detection, tracking, and sensor analysis.
During the exercise, Trace tested and integrated commercial off-the-shelf IT and communications systems to support expeditionary operations, enabling deployed forces to process and share data securely at the tactical edge.
“Our participation in Future Flag 25-2 alongside our military and commercial partners at Griffiss is further validating and advancing complex sensing and edge processing solutions in support of national security,” said Steve Bagley, Vice President of Intelligence Solutions at Trace.
M-DRIVE
The M-DRIVE system is a military computing platform that allows multiple users or groups to securely share and manage information on a single device.
It comes with pre-integrated features and can be ordered either pre-configured or customized to meet requirements.
It has a standardized, scalable design that allows capacity to be increased modularly as needed.
It can be deployed quickly, even while forces are in the field, supporting coalition coordination for command and control during exercises, operations, or missions.
M-DRIVE is compact and lightweight and can operate over any network or transport method.
It complies with US Department of Defense cyber standards and is approved for use on official networks.
