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.

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.
