Integrating sensor, voice and data communications, the Omnyx system is capable of gathering information from radars and other data links to provide interoperability throughout the Royal Jordanian Air Force and other elements of the country’s armed forces.
The system will assist in detecting incoming air traffic and equip the service with capabilities required to perform airspace management, air sovereignty and air defence missions.
Lockheed Martin’s Mission Systems & Sensors business director of C4 Systems John Nikolai said: "Omnyx serves as the backbone for information flow among command centers, enabling Jordanian military personnel to track and identify aircraft, evaluate any threats, and initiate or monitor airborne engagements.
