Digital Warfare - Moving at the Speed of Data

Today’s battlefield is changing faster than ever. Militaries need to enhance their operational speed and decision-making capabilities, particularly as the time frame between conceptualization and execution continues to diminish. The growing complexity of warfare necessitates the involvement of numerous actors, extensive data, expanding lines of command, and intricate geographical environment.

Always on Never Fail

 

 

In other words, in today's digital ecosystem, Network Centric Warfare is the name of the game. Effective decision-making requires transport, pooling and analysis of data from a vast array of information sources. The data must be delivered securely, in real-time, to wherever it is required. Network Centric Warfare is about using this data to be the first to know, understand, decide, and act. To meet these needs, Ribbon provides highly-secure, highly- reliable next-generation communication solutions.

Mission Critical Defense IP Optical Solutions

Decision-making on the modern battlefield requires real-time information to be made available when and where it is required. This data must then be analyzed in real time to allow informed decisions and provide the control of network-dependent weapons such as drones, robots, and unmanned vehicles. A combination of IP, Packet, and Optical networking provides both the agility to link the data generated from various data sources and systems to multiple destinations as well as the capacity required to transport bulk data over long distances with ultra-low latency.

Ribbon provides tailor-made, secure, hardened, field-proven defense solutions. These solutions integrate intelligent optical networking with agile IP/Packet connectivity to provide a converged, secure communication network.

  • Neptune/NPT is a multiservice IP/Packet platform supporting both modern devices as well as legacy systems
  • Apollo programmable and open optical networks satisfy ever-growing demands for secure bandwidth
  • The Muse™ software suite allows seamless operation and automation across Apollo and Neptune.

Ribbon provides a single integrated communications network, able to support video surveillance systems, command and control networks, sensors, radar, and smart IoT devices. Our unique TDM-to-IP solutions support integration of legacy TDM-based systems as well as their migration. Neptune’s unique Multistack MPLS capabilities allow mission-critical and non-mission-critical communications on the same network. MPLS-TP provides the deterministic transport needed for mission-critical applications and IP/MPLS provides the dynamic IP transport expected for non-mission-critical IT applications.
