Gotham is the new force multiplier. Gotham is the battlefield management system that integrates and analyzes vast amounts of data from multiple intelligence streams, including SIGINT (signals intelligence), HUMINT (human intelligence), and IMINT (imagery intelligence). Gotham leverages real-time data fusion. Gotham enables situational awareness and enhances command and control (C2). Gotham provides actionable intelligence for operational planning and tactical decision-making. Gotham empowers commanders to make faster, more informed decisions in dynamic combat environments, ensuring a strategic advantage.
Apollo is another force multiplier. Apollo's edge deployment capabilities enable real-time data processing and decision-making by ensuring that critical software systems – such as command and control applications, intelligence platforms, and surveillance tools – are operational at the front lines. Apollo secures software in active conflict zones. Apollo automates real-time software updates and patches across all operational environments, whether in the field or at central command. Apollo ensures that mission-critical applications are always functioning optimally and securely.
Apollo integrates and manages software across different domains, including air, land, sea, and cyber operations. Apollo ensures that the same software updates, intelligence tools, and operational platforms are available to all branches of the military, creating a cohesive and synchronized defence system. Apollo rapidly deploys software systems to thousands of nodes across different operational theaters. Apollo plays a crucial role in large-scale operations where multiple units need synchronized access to the same intelligence and decision-making tools. Apollo also supports logistics and supply chain management.
Foundry is also a new force multiplier. Foundry is an advanced data integration and analytics platform designed to help militaries transform complex, siloed data into actionable insights. Foundry enables militaries to integrate, analyze, and visualize data from multiple sources in real-time, supporting better decision-making and operational efficiency. Foundry optimizes military operations, intelligence gathering, and mission planning.
Foundry creates a unified data environment where intelligence can be processed and shared across different units, ensuring real-time situational awareness. Commanders can use Foundry to visualize battlefield data, predict enemy movements, and generate actionable insights that support tactical decision-making in real-time. Foundry leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to do three things: predict threats, detect anomalies, and automate decision-making processes. Foundry identifies patterns in enemy behavior, predicts the likelihood of future attacks, and optimizes the deployment of military resources.
AI is revolutionizing counterterrorism operations. AI provides real-time situational awareness that commanders can rely on in high-stakes environments. Gotham, Apollo, and Foundry have been used to shorten the ‘kill chain’ in the Russo-Ukrainian War. Gotham was used by the IAEA to verify if Iran complied with the 2015 Nuclear Agreement. Foundry was deployed by the British Army to support Operation Shader. Gotham was utilized by the German Army. Foundry was used by the French Armed Forces against ISIS. Gotham is in use by South Korea to counter North Korean Operations.
Gotham, Apollo, and Foundry are critical force multipliers, transforming the way military operations are conducted. Gotham, Apollo, and Foundry provide real-time, tailored solutions that empower commanders with the critical situational awareness and intelligence needed to maintain a strategic advantage. Information superiority is now the key to victory. Embracing technology is not just an option – it is the key to achieving total mission success in the face of evolving threats.
