SAIC is an active and leading partner of the Department of Defense in the development and execution of its Joint All-Domain Command and Control, or JADC2, strategy of a globally connected and information-driven warfighting environment for U.S. and allied forces. As the strategy crystallizes with the DOD’s JADC2 Implementation Plan, SAIC’s work is focused toward unlocking the power of data with automation, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics and toward seamless connectivity at the edge through fast and secure data transport, cloud and networking. We are bringing this set of capabilities the Joint Force requires to “sense,” “make sense” and “act” on information from every battlespace domain. Our JADC2 capabilities and solutions enable accelerated information delivery-to-decision cycles that match the pace of operational relevance.

GLOBAL PRESENCE AND GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT?

HOW IS SAIC WORKING TOWARD GLOBAL AWARENESS,

JADC2 is the DOD’s way ahead to addressing threats today and in the future. But how it is being shaped is evolving and dynamic, with DOD systems and organizations continually being identified for delivering JADC2 capabilities. SAIC knows that JADC2 is not a “thing” or one product. We have identified four core areas — data, cloud, edge and transport — and are designing and building the architectures, information systems and tailored solutions that truly enable data sharing, decision planning and tactical interoperability between mission partners. No matter what warfighting domains your organization is in and how it needs to integrate into JADC2, the data, cloud, edge and transport solutions and capabilities we deliver are hinged to the outcome of feeding tactical data from the battlefield edge to command-and-control and sending out decision information in a rapid and continuous loop. They’re based on our tenets of open architecture and zero-trust security, as well as “AI at every level” to combat the huge volume and complexity of data. Our JADC2 work is real and value-driven, removing compatibility issues and implementation risk, breaking silos, and unleashing actionable information streams out of disparate mission systems. Our customers are able to operationalize their support of the DOD’s vision of a robust, resilient and globally connected warfighting network capable of fast and decisive actions against adversaries.

Data

Data is the key to JADC2 success. From data collection and management to AI operational deployment, SAIC is taking on and solving the biggest data science problems the DOD is facing. We are deploying innovative data integration approaches with the ability to tie across security levels, domains, compartments and sensitivities, thus eliminating data silos and bringing together disparate databases. Truly assimilated data in unified information domains serves as the crucial stepping stone for making advanced analytics development possible. Our data engineering work encompasses the full data science lifecycle, from development of reference ontologies and knowledge models that enable greater data fusion, to development of AI algorithms and models that smarten data collection and processing, to creation and deployment of AI-enhanced edge services for warfighters and operators. We are forming machine-learning assisted data loops between command-and-control and the edge that lead to rapid information and decision advantage for commanders.

Data-driven warfighting requires the cloud to be a critical component of the JADC2 architecture, by providing secure data storage and application hosting as well as modern and continuous development, integration and delivery approaches to field new digital capabilities in a rapid and agile manner. As a cloud engineering leader for DOD and government, with a long list of successful modernization, migration and operational engagements, SAIC is poised to support efforts. For example, SAIC is the prime industry partner of Cloud One, the DOD’s enterprise cloud. We continually work with Cloud One mission system owners on delivering modernizations and migrations of their applications and systems, as well as state-of-the-art, secure computing environments, agile DevSecOps production approaches and optimized managed services. We are also a close partner with commercial cloud service providers, continuously monitoring operating conditions and evolving Cloud One’s hybrid and multi-cloud environments to meet DOD users’ needs, so they can stay focused on their missions instead of their IT.

CLOUD

JADC2-capable warfighters and teams will have enhanced situational awareness, navigation, communications and target acquisition, even in austere environments, thanks to a host of cloud-driven tactical edge services we are proliferating. These include wearable and portable devices and sensor platforms that gather, process and send data and video along with comms over secure broadband data transport options, using mobile and localized cloudlets. SAIC is exploring and working with a host of technologies enabling physically distanced warfighters, unmanned aerial systems and vehicle-mounted resources to directly interact with each other through the cloud, in an interconnected tactical mesh network that also links back with command-and-control. AI will be in the data loops as well as across man-machine interfaces to make inferences from the overwhelming multi-sensory data streams and thus take the cognitive loads off mission operators and commanders, who are able to judge the information and return decision information back to the tactical edge.

Edge

Ultra-high-bandwidth, ultra-high-speed transmission of data, with extremely low latency, will be needed for JADC2 tactical missions. To do this in austere and localized areas in the battlefield requires mobile broadband telecommunications, and SAIC is working with a diverse range of data transport options as part of the edge services and capabilities we’re bringing to warfighters. These include 5G, LoraWAN, LTE, Bluetooth and others, with terminals, mobile satellite antennas and signal equipment. Command-and-control and situational awareness applications that feed the common operating picture will be pushing mountains of data at great speeds. Crystal-clear streaming video requires an enormous amount of transmission bandwidth and near-zero latency for it to be effective for commanders. We will see peer-to-peer transfers of large data files in seconds using cell signals.
