Sophistication of adversaries and complexity of modern theaters of war, including Cyber, are giving rise to new challenges across the Department of Defense. Without shifting the way IT infrastructures are designed and built, the gap between the military’s operational requirements and the ability of IT operations to deliver will continue to widen.

From advanced urban environments to austere corners of the planet, the availability of technology and global interconnectivity is making the collection, analysis, and use of information and knowledge critical. Rapid capability fielding of tools to better automate, visualize, collaborate, and integrate analysis and exploitation is essential to establish and maintain dominance.
