Speed Electromagnetic Operations in the Indo-Pacific

EMSO Challenges

We鈥檙e working with regional EMSO leaders to envision the best path ahead. Here are some of the top challenges our technologists haves identified鈥攁nd how 无忧传媒 can help:

Challenge #1: Access to Information

Getting the right data to where it is needed is crucial. But data is typically siloed, trapped in closed, proprietary platforms that pose roadblocks to collecting, analyzing, processing, and delivering insights.聽

禄 How We Help: Open-Architecture Innovation

Our technologists create solutions using聽open frameworks, modern聽data platforms, and application programming interfaces that take data out of propriety systems to maximize discovery and interoperability.

Challenge #2: Tomorrow鈥檚 Tools鈥擭eeded Today

Commanders and operators need to be able to visualize and plan operations within the聽digital battlespace, a virtual environment for maneuver and action in the EMS. This requires digital tools and technologies that present understandable, actionable information.聽

禄 How We Help: Open-Source Visualization Solutions

鈥淲e create customized solutions that enable higher collaboration and greater insights,鈥 says Charles. For instance, our聽Modular Detachment Kit聽is a scalable command and control (C2) system that provides visualization of the battlespace across multiple environmental planes. We also create visualization tools using agile software development and聽model-based systems engineering.

Challenge #3: Speed-of-Insight Delivery聽

Trusted information must be delivered to the warfighter when it鈥檚 needed to enable rapid, accurate decision making. Yet huge volumes of data flood military and intelligence operators faster than they can make sense of it, especially when analytic processes are person-power intensive. 聽聽

禄聽How We Help: Automation with AI聽

We deploy聽artificial intelligence聽(AI), machine learning (ML), and other聽data-driven solutions聽to overcome the data deluge. They translate data into actionable insights and intelligence that enhance situational awareness鈥攕hortening the time it takes to make decisions and take action on EMSO-relevant timescales.聽

Challenge #4: System Security and Resiliency

Securing the many systems-of-systems involved in modern warfare and providing mechanisms for resilient operations are paramount mission requirements. But as more data moves between disparate systems using various different frequencies, the number of potential attack surfaces grows larger and more complex.聽聽

禄聽How We Help: Cybersecurity and Edge Computing聽

To anticipate attacks and provide mechanisms for resilient operations, we integrate advanced AI-enabled聽cybersecurity measures聽into systems as they are developed, versus trying to add security later. Our technologists also develop聽edge computing聽and mesh networks鈥攖echnologies that operate without cloud infrastructure and other traditional networks that are susceptible to EMS attacks.

Challenge #5: Thinking and Operating Differently

Working toward an enterprise-level approach to joint EMSO that leverages advanced technologies and extends to Indo-Pacific partners requires new mindsets and skills.聽

禄聽How We Help: Supporting Change

We support clients in the cultural and training changes needed to realize enterprise transformations. This includes helping military organizations embrace a聽partnership mindset鈥攁cross services and with partners and allies鈥攁nd tailoring聽digital simulations and training solutions聽within the EMS environment to effect force readiness for EMSO.

鈥淓lectromagnetic platforms are collecting a lot of data that could be useful, but currently it鈥檚 thrown away,鈥 says Jeff Palumbo, a 无忧传媒 chief engineer who leads development on digital solutions for military clients. 鈥淥ur SpectrEMPulse capability allows us to turn opportunistic data into operationally relevant data.鈥澛

SpectrEMPulse uses machine learning and advanced signal processing to distill massive amounts of sensor data into actionable intelligence. It gives tactical users rich near-real-time data to conduct spectrum management and electromagnetic warfare operations over legacy and limited networks at the tactical edge.聽

鈥淚t鈥檚 like finding a needle in a haystack鈥攐nly first you identify what the needle is, what that useful information would be, and then you go find it and fuse it with other data for analysis,鈥 Jeff says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 an easy-to-use way to empower the warfighter to receive rapid insights that might otherwise be overlooked.鈥

鈥淚n working with our Indo-Pacific partners, we see opportunities to bring transformative solutions to address some of the barriers to improved EMSO,鈥 says Charles. 鈥淧roviding intuitive, powerful analytic tools that integrate into the larger environment are one way to solve challenges faster.鈥 He notes that many of the solutions that will enable EMSO to evolve will also further the connected vision of聽All-Domain Command and Control.

One thing is certain: The electromagnetic spectrum is a top priority to enable INDOPACOM operations and partnerships, and rapid innovation is imperative. As Scott says, 鈥淲hoever controls the spectrum, controls the domain.鈥
