As a U. S. Navy helicopter pilot, I recognized that in the technology realm of Navy and Department of Defense operations, there was not enough focus on user-centric design and designled approaches to delivering complex technology systems in a way that makes them easy to use,” opens Sumner Lee, Fuse Integration’ s CEO.“ I founded Fuse in 2010 to combine commercial design processes and DoD technology with a focus on airborne networking, delivering secure networks and communications to aircraft.”
Placing the warfighter at the forefront of its operations, Fuse designs, builds, and deploys complex and resilient networking systems to military aircraft defense platforms, with a focus on making them easy to use. Each application begins with a deep understanding of the end user’ s requirements to ensure the product will be effective in the battlefield’ s harsh environment. In doing so, Fuse is bridging the gap between warfighter needs and available technology to provide excellent communications, networking, and computing solutions.
Fuse’ s KRAKEN family of integrated systems is built for augmenting platform capability and integrating emerging technologies. Combining tactical and IP links, all KRAKEN systems deliver a rapidly integrated, durable, and mission-flexible system tailored to fit any platform’ s needs. Firstly, KRAKEN 18, a small pod form factor, extends network connectivity to distributed users by enabling legacy aircraft with an easily deployable solution on standard wing pylons. Built for tactical and rotary wing aircraft, KRAKEN 18 fits on unmanned aerial vehicles( UAVs), helicopters, and multiple test aircraft.
Building on this product, KRAKEN 26 is a large pod that includes hybrid SATCOM, multiple mesh networks, and tactical links.
Designed to fit bombers, tankers, and largebody aircraft, KRAKEN 26 has proven to bring resilient communications during a flight on a B-52H aircraft. Lastly, the KRAKEN Expeditionary Gateway( KEG) is a secure, joint interoperable mobile networking solution that enables the bi-directional exchange of sensor data across domains, from remote locations, or on the move. Not only does KEG provide secure networks in forward-deployed environments, but it is also easy to use, allowing users to focus on executing the mission.
