Significant Market Needs

• Aid decision makers in evaluating and visualizing impact of battlefield and operational decisions

• Move beyond exposing to exploiting data via integration of services and intelligent agent simulation technologies

• Evolve C3 systems development practices to SOA-centric designs for greater modularity and interoperability

• Bring operator into the development cycle through operational test beds designed for rapid prototyping and delivery of capability

• Reduce time to market

• Provide software / tools enabling increasingly dynamic tailoring of C2 system to changing CONOPs, TTPs, events and preferences

• Assist in transitioning from static, transactionally oriented designs to dynamically adaptable planning and execution systems

New C2 Technology /

Software

Orchestration

Composable Systems

Support to the Warfighter

• Agile and responsive C4 support direct to the operator, anywhere, anytime• Bring state of the art information and visualization technology to the desk

of the commander, fusing all relevant source information for decisions• Provide operational C2 policy, planning, training and analysis support
