TITAN is a scalable and expeditionary intelligence ground station that supports commanders across the entire Multi-Domain Operations (MDO)/Joint All Domain Operations (JADO) battlefield framework with capabilities tailored to echelon. TITAN leverages Space, High Altitude, Aerial and Terrestrial layer sensors to provide targetable data to fires networks as well as multi-discipline intelligence support to targeting and Situation Awareness/Situation Understanding (SA/SU) in support of mission command. TITAN will utilize Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) capabilities and leverage advanced Radio Frequency (RF) technologies as they become available. The FY27 RDTE Dollars in the amount of $35.769M supports and integrates high altitude, aerial and terrestrial sensor data feeds. See Classified QUAD for more information.
