Live demonstration connects show floor to an operational aircraft in Southern California
Fuse Integration today announced it will conduct a live-flight tactical networking demonstration during WEST 2026, February 10–12 at the San Diego Convention Center. Co-hosted by AFCEA International and the U.S. Naval Institute, WEST brings together Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard leaders with industry and academia experts and is considered the premier naval conference and expo on the West Coast.
From its booth (#1840), Fuse will demonstrate its KRAKEN Expeditionary Gateway exchanging live voice, video, and mission data with a Fuse Test Squadron aircraft flying over Southern California — showcasing a fully operational tactical edge network connecting forward-deployed systems to command-and-control environments in real time.
“Our tactical edge networking solutions are delivering operational capability right now,” said Sumner Lee, CEO of Fuse. “WEST is where we’re proving it, as we showcase our ready-now solutions delivering resilient communications to aircraft and expeditionary units, connecting surface/subsurface platforms for real-time mission awareness when it matters most.”
