BRINGING C2 CLOUD SOLUTIONS ON THE MILITARY FIELD

Abstract

Abstract: There is a permanent demand from the operational military echelons to have C2 systems up and running in terms of hours from the moment of request. Even more, complementary C2 systems should be available in real time, all the time. The areas of specializations of different BOSs that a C2 system should integrate or make use of the exchanged data put a high pressure on the software architecture and the technological stack the C2 solution should be based on. We develop C2 software solutions that offer core services to military organizations, from tactical echelons to tactical-operational echelons. Deploying the same solution on several nodes is not an easy task. Maintaining, but improving with new functionalities a software solution already deployed on the field is a complex tax, requires a sophisticated logistic process, long planning and execution phases. In time, discrepancies could appear among different installed versions and is hard to maintain such configurations. Aiming to offer to Romanian Army a C2 software solution that is fast, modern, scalable, easy to deploy, capable to run online 24/24h we switched to a cloud technological stack for our C2 solution and we intend to have the same C2 base platform on all our future deployments.
