Database management for C2 & ISTAR – Intelligence, Surveillance, Communications & Control.

Better Intelligence

Command and control and ISTAR applications enable military commanders to direct forces. The addition of communications to the grouping reflects the fact that communications is required to enable this coordination. In modern warfare, computers and massive databases are also a key component.

The ever-increasing complexity and granularity of these application data limits the usefulness of traditional (i.e. relational database) data management technologies. For example, military forces are using more intelligent, software-based systems in areas like battlefield simulation, weapons guidance, and weather depiction, just to name a few. Common factors underlying each of these areas include complexity of data, the need for real-time performance, 24/7 non-stop operations and low/no maintenance for fully embedded systems. Application requirements in the intelligence and civil arenas are not much different.

Rapid Deployment

Versant's object data management technology is playing an ever-increasing role across civil, military, and intelligence applications in the United States and abroad. Versant's technology has allowed government agencies to rapidly deploy complex applications supporting mission critical functions in areas where traditional data management architectures have failed. Versant has been used in many significant government, defense and intelligence applications.
