Automation in defence
Get the right information at the right time without overloading users
Automation in defence: An evergreen flow of information
In any defence scenario, it’s critical the right information be available at the right time. The growth of the defence IoT has only exacerbated this, as has the adoption of OSINT and commercial sources. Users and systems are being inundated with data, with varying levels of assurance and quality.
Automation can help with data processing and dissemination, and this can be eased by using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software that is supported and updated to maintain an evergreen solution. Data can be packaged in a way that doesn’t overload users.
In this on-demand webinar, speakers from AFCEA and Hexagon discuss:
- The current UX with users who have firsthand knowledge
- How COTS software can provide an automated, evergreen solution
- Surprising examples of what is possible with the solution
