Future of warfare

Global defense contractors are faced with a rapidly evolving threat environment driven by the transition from counter-insurgency to peer-to-peer/great power conflict. Our clients are increasingly focused on technology innovation and delivering interconnected solutions to support joint, coalition, and allied warfighters through:

Networked battlefield (E.g., JADC2)
Improved connectivity (E.g., multi-orbit SATCOM, multi-waveform terrestrial networks, 5g)
Dynamic kill webs to integrate various data sources across domains and increase speed to decision making (E.g., C5ISRT, hypersonic, precision munitions, C-UAS, directed energy)
Autonomous platforms (E.g. USV, UUV, UAV, UAS, UGV) to support manned systems and enhance force projection
EMSO superiority through converged SIGINT, EW, and cyber capabilites
All domain operations (E.g., space to undersea)
