Government and Multi Domain Defense Networks - FIPS Compliant and JITC Certified

Digital technologies have transformed warfare into the network era. The complexity of modern war requires extensive use of algorithms to enhance military operations, involving numerous actors, vast data, expanding authority lines, and complex environments. Decision-making has shifted from bureaucratic processes to networked platforms and data-driven applications, necessitating faster and more accurate decisions.

In a digitized battlespace, every element is a node within a military network. Command Centers must access shared virtual machines across a secure cloud infrastructure, and Headquarters need to target, track, visualize, and coordinate resources quickly and efficiently.

To achieve this, legacy networks must evolve into an enterprise-scale network built around networked, data-driven platforms. These platforms are essential for national and multinational operations, enhancing situational awareness and coordinating multi-domain operations.
