For the primary time, NATO’s Alliance Floor Surveillance Pressure (NAGSF) has deployed their Cellular Basic Floor Station or MGGS exterior Italy testing the Pressure’s expeditionary functionality to use the information collected by the RQ-4D Remotely Piloted Plane (RPA) at a distant web site. Allied Air Command Chief of Workers Main Basic Gianluca Ercolani, Italian Air Pressure, and Deputy Chief of Workers Brigadier Basic Christoph Pliet, German Air Pressure, visited the 24-strong NAGSF detachment who arrange camp contained in the perimeter of HQ AIRCOM. The detachment arrived on November 10 by way of business highway convoy, arrange the system and established connectivity. Till November 22, the crew of NAGSF consultants, supported by contractor technicians linked up with the RQ-4Ds throughout reconnaissance flights alongside the jap flank monitoring its operation and exploiting and transferring collected knowledge.
“This is a wonderful demonstration of NAGSF’s capability to deploy a cellular exploitation aspect; I’m impressed by the aptitude of the crew to hyperlink up with the RQ-4D RPA in flight and exploit the collected knowledge, making it out there on-site,” stated AIRCOM COS MG Ercolani. “From our operational perspective, this deployment enormously helps NATO’s procedures to gather, course of and distribute intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance outcomes inside our ogranisation and with the Allies – even out of a distant location,” he added.

“The aim of the deployment to Ramstein is to attain a checkmark on the Pressure’s method to NATO Alliance Floor Surveillance enhanced preliminary operational functionality,” stated the deployment commander, U.S. Air Pressure Captain Jacob Sanborn. “We simulate exploitation of the information our RQ-4D RPA collect in flight and make it out there to the native floor power commander within the type of fundamental intelligence merchandise. And we relay the data to our Primary Working Base at in Sigonella Italy for additional distribution,” he stated, describing the method and objective of the deployment.
NAGSF operates 5 RQ-4D RPAs out of the Pressure’s Primary Working Base at Italian Air Pressure Base in Sigonella, the place the Pressure collects intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance knowledge, processes it and distributes it to all Allies. The bottom section consists of a number of floor stations in mounted, cellular and conveyable configurations, capable of present data-link connectivity, knowledge processing, exploitation capabilities and interfaces for interoperability. The bottom section gives an interface between the AGS core system and a variety of command, management, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C2ISR) programs. Utilizing a number of NATO and US networks, it interconnects with a number of deployed and non-deployed operational customers, in addition to with reach-back amenities away from the surveillance space.
