Distributed lethality
At sea, threats and opportunities can change in an instant. The next generation 9LV is designed to adapt to the situation at hand – and to what comes next.
Its data-driven and operator-centric design brings together information from across the force. Automated and AI-supported functions help crews build understanding, focus on priorities and make timely decisions.
Communication and interoperability are built in. Cross-platform connectivity enables information-sharing across people, platforms and both manned and unmanned resources. Open interfaces and an architecture designed for portability support the integration of new capabilities, helping forces collaborate effectively today while remaining ready to evolve for tomorrow.
The sensor-to-shooter chain can extend beyond a single platform. By connecting sensors, systems and resources across the battlespace, 9LV supports coordinated action by manned and unmanned units.
Adaptability over time is crucial. An open, hardware- and infrastructure-agnostic architecture supports new technologies, sensors and weapons as needs change. By making adaptability part of your combat power, it may just become your most lethal capability.
Operational capability across the maritime domain
9LV supports air, surface and sub-surface warfare, as well as the command team’s decision cycle. Designed for demanding workloads and multiple tasks, it supports missions from the littorals to the open sea, across multi-mission and multi-domain operations.
The system can be configured for patrol vessels, frigates, larger vessels and submarines. It supports allied operations and coordination of manned and unmanned resources. Mission types include:
- Anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) operations
- Protection and escort
- Maritime patrol and response
- Mine Countermeasures operations
- Border control and interdiction
- Peace support operations
- Strike missions
- Search and rescue
- Power projection
9LV CMS also supports command-team training, recording and debriefing.
Designed to evolve
Naval threats and technology keep evolving. The next generation 9LV open architecture supports upgrades and third-party integration, helping reduce dependence on proprietary technology and the risk of obsolescence.
Its Software-First approach supports a continuous pipeline of updates, helping introduce new capabilities without shipyard downtime for every change.
