As the U.S. government's advancement into space-based Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) continues to accelerate, satellite technology will be defined much more by its software and ability to support diverse mission requirements than anything else. Access to data, and real-time analysis of that data, anywhere at any time becomes critical to mission success. Containerized application software is a key to this new paradigm. Gove...

On-going global conflict indicates an unsettling truth about military readiness: the U.S. and allied defense assets are not ready to win the next war. However artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance asset performance and improve reliability. Combatant commands need a proven, scalable approach that addresses ongoing maintenance requirements in real-time, enhancing the work of the maintainer. AI-enabled warfighting systems deliver speed into le...

The missing V of large data—volume, velocity and variety—has always been veracity. In this webinar, we'll hear from two long-time leaders who have worked on this problem. They will present how to find the 'truth' in the deluge of data, how to validate data, how to check pedigree and lineage, and how to weed out duplicates that can create false positives. Attendees will come away with the guidance and approaches that can help serve...

This class provides a review of current military satellite communications as well as a look into the future of developing technology. Internet protocol (IP) and IP over Satellite (IPoS) are addressed, showing this protocol's strengths and weaknesses as a facilitator of net-centric warfare. The class is designed for military communication system planners, engineers, managers, operators, system analysts and decision-makers who need a review of m...

Against the backdrop of China’s aggressive state-sponsored technology strategy, the U.S. needs to act quickly to adopt a new national model to advance our global competitiveness objectives. How? By expanding and strengthening public-private collaboration on rapidly emerging technologies to advance economic and national security, while safeguarding democratic values. As the U.S. shapes and implements new business and financial models, wha...

Across DoD, intelligence and most civilian federal agencies, the ‘tactical edge’ is top of mind. The ability to put application workloads out in the field, literally on the front lines, has the potential to transform the outcomes of all kinds of missions, whether it’s AI-based computer vision on reconnaissance drones, communications infrastructure or supply chain and logistics. Kubernetes has emerged as the software platform...
