The Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) and Lockheed Martin Skunk Works have achieved what the company calls a "breakthrough" in the field of F-35 fighter interaction by successfully transmitting classified real-time data between a Dutch F-35 fighter in flight and a domestic command and control system during the Ramstein Flag exercise.
This is the first-ever real-time exchange of classified data involving F-35s outside the United States and a significant step forward in multidisciplinary operations (MDOS) within NATO.
In the live flight scenario, the Dutch F-35, Working in a simulated Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environment, we detected and tracked several simulated threats. Targeting data was transmitted via a Multifunctional Advanced Datalink to Lockheed Martin's Open Systems Gateway (OSG), which transmitted information to Keystone, the Dutch Command and Control System (C2). Keystone then sent a rocket artillery platform to strike and destroy a ground target.
