As the Department of Defense’s Joint All-Domain Command and Control, or JADC2, strategy matures into Combined JADC2 with allied and coalition forces, more DOD organizations are expected to contribute to, and partake in, a digitally integrated warfighting environment on a global scale. No matter what operational domains your organization is in, your information systems will need to not only plug into the JADC2 network but also the CJADC2 infrastructure with international partners. To help you achieve mission data interoperability for the department’s joint/combined-force integrations, SAIC is ready to provide information systems engineering and development for CJADC2. We will execute the modernization to a data-centric architecture that facilitates secure and efficient data-sharing with combatant partners. Our enterprise strategies and ground-level methods for establishing data-centricity have proven to create information flows across domains and operational levels for DOD.

UNLOCKING THE POWER OF DATA TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS AT THE SPEED OF NEED

Today’s threat environment requires real-time mission data exchange and interoperable sensor-to-shooter capabilities for the joint force, allies and partners to carry out multi-domain security and defense operations. The traditional network-centric approach for information systems protects data but slows down or even prevents its releasability when missions depend on it. Data-centricity modernization by SAIC for your CJADC2 program:

Data

Persistent access to data under rapid multi-domain, multi-level operating conditions is the key to CJADC2 success. Whether it is for facilitating information flows between DOD partners or between DOD and coalition forces, SAIC’s work transforms data to be platform-agnostic so that it can be distributed and shared more easily. We are supporting the transformation from network-centric to data-centric information systems that results in greater security-implementation flexibilityand machine-to-machine connectivity for data. Our data engineering work also encompasses development of ontology and knowledge models to enable data fusion, development of AI algorithms for data collection and processing, and development of machine learning-assisted data loops between command and the tactical edge.

CJADC2 warfighting requires cloud capabilities to be ubiquitous and globally available, not only at the command level but also across the front lines to provide secure application hosting and data handling. As a cloud engineering leader for DOD and government, SAIC stands ready to support modernizations, migrations and operations in the cloud. With a long history of supporting joint combined mission operations, we are providing expert continuous-integration/continuous-delivery support to power a rapid and agile pipeline of cloud-driven digital capabilities for warfighters. SAIC is the prime industry partner for the Cloud One enterprise cloud for DOD. We have close and influential relationships with all the major cloud service providers and work closely with Cloud One mission-system owners on fielding hybrid and multi-cloud computing environments, DevSecOps chains and optimized managed services.

CLOUD

CJADC2 warfighters will have enhanced situational awareness, navigation, communications and target acquisition — even in austere environments — as a result of feeding tactical information to command and control and receiving decision information in rapid and continuous data loops. Front-line operators will be equipped with wearable and portable devices that gather, process and send data, video and communications via mobile cloudlets. They will work with physically distanced, cross-domain human and unmanned collaborators in a tactical mesh network. Edge is about giving commanders persistent access to the best kinetic/non-kinetic and lethal/non-lethal fires among ubiquitous options in their command-and-control toolkits. SAIC is working with a host of technologies and developing data architectures to enable cloud-driven edge services and capabilities.

Edge

A range of needs for today and tomorrow’s battlefields makes high-bandwidth, ultra-high-speed, low-latency data transport critical for missions. Command-and-control and situational-awareness applications that feed the common operating picture will be pushing mountains of data. Crystal-clear streaming video requires enormous bandwidth. We will see peer-to-peer transfers of large data files in seconds using cell signals in austere and localized areas of the battlefield. To create seamless connectivity between edge assets, and also between tactical partners, we are working with a diverse range of data transport options, including 5G, LoraWAN, LTE and Bluetooth. We need to utilize all available mobile-broadband means of moving zeros and ones between terminals, mobile satellite antennas and signal equipment.
