Modular Detachment Kit (MDK)

Multidomain integration for tactical command and control

蘑菇视频 Allen's Modular Detachment Kit (MDK) revolutionizes tactical command and control (C2), offering unprecedented multidomain integration by seamlessly fusing sensor and datalink information. Bridging the technological gap, MDK introduces a modular, tailored mobile approach that provides warfighters with a clear understanding of the battlespace.聽As a fielded capability, MDK ensures resiliency, overcoming the limitations of outdated C2 systems.

With the power to enable joint fires, close mission gaps, and accelerate decision making through AI, MDK represents the next frontier in advanced military operations. Employing model-based systems engineering (MBSE), MDK's modular, scalable architecture ensures adaptability and informed decision making for evolving mission requirements.

In an age where our adversaries are challenging聽 US forces and our partners globally. Our battlefields are diverse. They are worldwide and multi-domain.聽 They are agile and in cyberspace. Peer Competitors are testing our聽 vulnerabilities from vast distances,聽聽where every physical location is a target. Our forces and networks are at risk.聽 Command and Control must adapt. As must our networks and communication links.

There is a better way. 蘑菇视频 Allen鈥檚 Modular Detachment Kit, or聽 M-D-K, is redefining C2 by integrating Air, Land, Maritime, and Space domain awareness. It connects operational and tactical forces around聽 the world, via edge networks, and to the cloud. It constantly changes secure connections,聽 which are concealed from adversaries. M-D-K is a hardware, software, vendor agnostic聽 approach to delivering integrated C-2 operations聽聽and training solutions that enables decentralized C-2. It securely connects sensors to聽 decision makers, to shooters. Leveraging modular, scalable, tailorable聽 decentralized C-2, sensor and communication nodes. M-D-K builds, fuses, and distributes a common聽 operating picture across the joint spectrum. It establishes remote voice and data聽 communications to positively control聽聽any sector from anywhere. And it can be operated by聽 small teams of just 2-6 people. M-D-K鈥檚 modules provide the most comprehensive and聽聽informative operational picture to聽 our military anywhere in the world.

Whether you need to establish an operations center,聽聽local or remote, Link 16 or Tactical Data Link聽 access, secure ground-to-air radio transmissions聽聽anywhere in the world, to integrate joint or聽 coalition, traditional or passive sensors into the聽 Tactical and Common Operating Pictures, or to聽 monitor, maintain, and manage the distributed聽聽C-2 enterprise from a consolidated maintenance聽 operations center, M-D-K has you covered. Take only what you need. Connect ally and partner capability聽 for complete battlespace awareness. And hide in plain sight. M-D-K brings Air Force C-2 capabilities聽 into the future through edge networks and聽聽secure cloud services, providing聽 faster, more robust, secure C-2. From anywhere to everywhere鈥-D-K.聽
