SHADOWBOX PARTICIPATES IN EXERCISE AGILE RAGE

The ShadowBox Alpha was recently featured in the Air National Guard Agile Combat Employment (ACE) Exercise Agile Rage at Alpena CRCT, Michigan and Volk Field, Wisconsin. The exercise involved 21 units conducting distributed operations and close air support against a simulated peer adversary. The ShadowBox Alpha TOC-in-a-Box provided critical command, control, communications and situational awareness on a common operating picture, between Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) in forward locations, Special Tactics assault zone teams, and higher headquarters. Teams leveraged the unique radio over IP (ROIP) capabilities of the ShadowBox Alpha to share interoperable communications and talk to aircraft over secure terrestrial cellular means.
