EVEREST: Pacific Vigilance: Powering a Vision for Multi-Domain Denial, Defense and Resilience

L3Harris Technologies and regional industry partners conducted a live demonstration in the Asia-Pacific region to showcase a unified Joint All-Domain Operations network for the United States, Taiwan, and allied nations. The event highlighted the need for advanced, multi-domain technologies to address escalating tensions with neighboring adversaries possessing expansive military capabilities. Military forces require secure, interoperable networks to share intelligence, maintain maritime awareness, and coordinate joint operations across vast geographies.

The demonstration, titled EVEREST: Pacific Vigilance, featured ready-now capabilities and artificial intelligence solutions designed to enhance technical overmatch and operational advantage. L3Harris’ software-defined systems served as the critical bridge for the architecture, while Palantir’s AI-enabled Maven Smart System fused intelligence and sensor data in real time to accelerate decision-making and shorten target acquisition-to-elimination timelines.

Amazon LEO’s commercial satellite internet and Link 16 tactical data links provided multi-domain, multi-path connectivity across operational echelons. The scenario simulated threat identification using sensors and ISR capabilities, followed by coordinated long-range and coastal defense fires against large platforms in response to a homeland threat.

The event also emphasized the importance of civil-military coordination in smaller nations facing asymmetric threats, requiring interoperable communication networks and predefined rules of engagement. L3Harris emphasized the innovation and partnerships needed to deliver scalable solutions today while preparing for future security challenges in the Pacific.
