Five Eyes is an intelligence alliance between all five of the countries participating in CUE17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/disa\/disa-vision-guide\/2017\/06\/16\/coming-soon-joint-international-cyberspace-operations\/\" title=\"\">Coming soon: joint international cyberspace operations<\/a>]<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise was held with the full support of the South Australian state government and utilized the recently vacated Adelaide Dental Hospital and Royal Adelaide Hospital buildings, creating a realistic challenge during several different scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australian lead for the event, Justin Fidock from the Defence Science and Technology Group, or DST Group, said the aim was to determine benefits that can be derived from the integration of wide-area aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, ground-based sensors, and target sharing for war fighters operating in difficult and complex urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBasically we are integrating ground- and air-based sensors and using multiple methods to draw insights into technology, with a strong emphasis on qualitative data,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3600\" height=\"2400\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20171123raaf8185068_0157.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20171123raaf8185068_0157.jpg.jpg 3600w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20171123raaf8185068_0157.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20171123raaf8185068_0157.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20171123raaf8185068_0157.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20171123raaf8185068_0157.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20171123raaf8185068_0157.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3600px) 100vw, 3600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The operations hub for the 2017 Contested Urban Environment Strategic Challenge is a hive of activity with new technology being tested by the five nations involved. (Australian Department of Defence)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Various new and emerging technologies from Australia, the U.S. and Canada were selected for CUE17, including DST Group\u2019s Defence Experimentation Airborne Platform; a Beechcraft 1900 aircraft configured for Wide Area Surveillance Activity Based Intelligence, or WASABI, with an Angel Fire 2 96-megapixel camera; a Selex Galileo PicoSAR synthetic aperture radar; and a Wescam MX-20HD full-motion, high-definition video sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other DST technologies included Evolutionary Layered ISR Integration EXemplar Architecture ISR enterprise software; social media analysis systems; and the ability to track targets using existing public infrastructure, such as CCTV cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe challenge is to understand which sensors from which nation fit into the ISR \u2018picture\u2019 and how we push that down to the user,\u201d Fidock said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. technologies fielded for the event included the DragonFly 360-degree, full-motion video camera system mounted on the corner of one of the high-rise buildings to simulate a tethered UAV, which would typically be used in a real scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also being trialed was a 3-D common operating picture sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat allows us to do mission planning in a 3-D environment, so you know where to put the sensors to identify where dead spots are,\u201d explained U.S. lead Susan Toth, from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen when live events are going on, as sensors are going off, it alerts onto the common operating picture and that allows rapid recueing. For example, we demonstrated a scenario where a Canadian ground sensor detected an activity and we were able to auto-cue the Australian WASABI aircraft\u2019s sensors and send the information to the user via tactical data link.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next field activity under the Technical Cooperation Program, CUE18, will be hosted in Canada, and the 2019 event will take place in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The exercise was held with the full support of the South Australian state government and utilized two recently
