Data management software MDCX™

automationsecuritycontrol

Overview
Skunk Works® MDCX™ is an open-architecture command and control software platform that enables operators to manage multiple unmanned systems from a single interface. Built to turn disconnected systems into a coordinated force—accelerating the path from data to action. Skunk Works® MDCX™ is a software-first, multi-level-secure UAV C2 platform delivering autonomous mission planning & interoperable drone control.

Capabilities

• Rapidly integrate new systems without redesign or vendor lock
• Use automation to reduce workload and speed up decision-making
• Deploy anywhere, from carriers to the tactical edge
• Manage multiple systems with adjustable autonomy levels

Operational concepts
Control across domains: air, sea and ground systems. Single operational view: ISR data in one place. Autonomous missions: coordinate operations quickly. Scaling from a carrier-deck console to a backpack-size laptop, delivering secure, multi-level-security command and control for any compliant UAV.

Deployments and demonstrations
Proven mission command and control demonstrated in live-fly missions in collaboration with the U.S. Navy and General Atomics. Used for simultaneous command of multiple unmanned air systems in the UK and has been demonstrated controlling the first flight of the MQ-25A Stingray™.
