L3Harris Technologies announced that its Distributed Spectrum Collaboration and Operations (DiSCO) system supported U.S. and Australian forces during Talisman Sabre 2025, the largest bilateral military exercise between the two countries.
The company said the system enabled Indo-Pacific forces to detect surface radars on marine vessels by linking an aircraft with two Seasats Lightfish autonomous vessels equipped with electronic warfare payloads. Data collected during the exercise was transmitted to a secure, cloud-hosted DiSCO platform for analysis and operational use.
“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 of Space and Airborne Systems at L3Harris. “This critical technology provided insight into real-world challenges culminating in DiSCO being lauded by numerous U.S. and coalition service leaders.”
According to the company, DiSCO was internally funded and designed to connect sensors and shooters with computer resources and cross-domain data sources. The architecture incorporates edge nodes and cloud applications for mission data fusion, live analysis, and electronic battle management.
