Overview

Problem Army, Air Force and Navy network don't talk to each other.

“Each of the services has systems to maintain situational awareness. Getting them to integrate and talk together, how the procedures [and] policies that different services use, when to display what, was really the problem.” -- Gen. John Murray (Commanding General, Army Futures Command)

Solution Advanced Collaboration Enterprise Services (ACES) is an SBIR technology that provides an "I see what you see" experience that allows for many-to-many collaboration over disparate networks.

Field Validation - Deployed to TS/SCI facility (NRO NROC) - Completed 2xMUAs and JCTD

During the AWACS MUA, the Air Force documented that ACES reduced the time it took for ABMs to perform collaborative tasks by 20%.

Technology Maturity (TRL) TRL 9. Can be deployed to INDOPACOM immediately.

Strategic Advantage Attempts to reverse engineer ACES over the last 10 years have failed. Not many companies are involved in multi-domain collaborations.

Go-to-Market Access We've leveraged the AFWERX and SBIR Phase III contracts. Currently, on a 5-year/50 million SBIR Phase III contract with the IRS. Dual-Use Potential ACES is a good fit for any firms that requires many-to-many collaboration, distributed operations and distributed training. Team Chief Engineer Klee Dienes: - MIT Software Engineer - developed the prototype for the iPHONE - MEDVAC Pilot and Cyber Officer

Competitive Landscape TEG and Creston do something similar, but are years behind ACES. Primary User The capabilities were developed via the SBIR program to connect the AOC/CRC with ABMs in the AWACS.

User-Critical Problem There is a lot of friction during collaboration between different networks. ACES reduces this friction by 20%. (See the ACES MUA)
