Secure Mission Video Systems for All-Domain Operations on Cloud-Based Command and Control

The Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) is an ecosystem that aims to integrate and synchronize various architectures and technologies across all domains, service branches and allies enabling rapid decision-making at every level of command.

In today’s warfare, the ability to make timely and informed decisions can make all the difference in achieving success on the battlefield. Mission Video Systems (MVS) are integral to the overall JADC2 ecosystem or to any multi-domain environment. They are the digital “eyes and ears” of command and control (C2) securing, managing and distributing real-time video data for situational awareness. Video data from satellites, planes, drones, surveillance cameras and body-worn cameras can be used to monitor and track the movements of enemy forces, identify potential threats and assess the impact of military operations. Video data can inform commanders about the deployment of resources, the prioritization of objectives and the mitigation of risks.

PESA’s SECURA® is the most advanced, secure, trusted and scalable MVS in the industry. Using DoD guidelines for an IP-based software architecture, SECURA® can operate in a single isolated C2 room, across distributed connected C2 rooms in a base or campus, LAN, WAN, global Cloud and all the way to the Cloud-edge. Control and management services operate on a microservices enterprise virtual machine or in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. The synergistic combination of PESA SECURA® and Microsoft Azure Cloud extend the MVS capability of multi-domain globally. Azure provides the global network, transport, storage and cloud applications which can further enhance the capabilities of JADC2 and other multi-domain operations. Real-time video data can be analyzed, stored and fed into cloud-native artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications to aid decision-making in warfighting real-time. AI can analyze vast amounts of video data and identify patterns and trends that humans may not be able to detect due to the volume of video data. PESA SECURA® and Microsoft’s Azure Government Cloud empower commanders to make informed decisions based on a deeper understanding of the situation on the ground.
