Led by over 50 L3Harris engineers over three months, the experiment’s objective was to show the MoD how soldiers could benefit from military-off-the-shelf (MOTS) technologies that are available today through the in-depth demonstration of live, real-time mission scenarios.
With key inputs from trusted industry partners Systematic, Leonardo DRS, NSSL Global, Inmarsat, Exsel and Glenair, the EVEREST Experiment integrated L3Harris’ tactical radio, ISR, data link and satellite communication offerings, as well as our portfolio of CORVUS multirole EW systems and Drone Guardian C-sUAS solution, among other capabilities.
The EVEREST Experiment successfully demonstrated how combining software-defined radios with satellite communications can pass voice, data and situational awareness to wherever required by adapting to the need and threat environment.
The EVEREST Experiment result is an integrated network that shows:

PROTECTION
Ukraine has demonstrated the vulnerability of static, grouped teams. The EVEREST experiment facilitates dispersed HQs with an unprecedented degree of mobility.
DRONE AWARENESS AND C-sUAS
Low-cost disposable drones are the new threat vector. EVEREST shows how this threat can be neutralised with C-sUAS systems, supported by land Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD).
INTEGRATED 8
Informing and de-risking the Army's Integrated 8, and more urgently 4+1.
COALITION INTEROPERABILITY
To increase operational effectiveness with major improvements to always-on situational awareness.
NEW CONOPS
EVEREST explores the leap in bandwidth resulting from High Capacity Line of Sight (HCLOS) technologies, facilitating the dispersed HQ, point to point VoIP calls and conferencing and innovative sensor arrays.
HF FOR THE BACKHAUL
Modern HF enables all-informed situational awareness and data nets, long range voice and data, Last Ditch Data (LDD) and allied interoperability in a well-established, reliable architecture.
DEMOCRATISATION OF EW
Down to the patrol level, enabling rich, networked and resilient electronic surveillance capability, rapidly reconfigurable to electronic attack or protection.
SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
Enabling tactical flexibility and dispersed operational connectivity at multiple classifications and global reach via multiple constellations, bringing choice and resilience.
L3Harris-led EVEREST experiment in the UK demonstrates the feasibility of networking a raft of assets to provide land forces with a scalable, common operating picture.
