MACE

The Multi-Agency Collaboration Environment (MACE) is a mission-focused platform established by Sierra Nevada Corporation. MACE's focus is building solutions with complex data and analytics, and teams develop big data architectures, artificial intelligence, and full-spectrum cyber solutions.

MACE, as a technology lab, fosters a collaborative environment with assisted contracting. The organization offers partners networking opportunities, the capability to engage with U.S. government agencies, access to demonstration and lab facilities with multi-domain test data, collaboration on emerging technologies, and assisted acquisition. The organization employs experts across commercial and private industries, government, academia, and start-ups.

The MACE group aims to expedite the development and fielding of technologies through a mission-focused workforce with expertise in big data architectures, artificial intelligence and machine learning, systems engineering, and full-spectrum cyber solutions. The group's Optimized Innovation (OI) Process accelerates capability and interoperability through a focus on warfighters and problem-solution fits.

MACE works to identify, research, test, and provide new technologies capable of enhancing the effectiveness and safety of a warfighter. The organization uses its technical partnerships, government labs, academic research, and other technology expertise to encourage and develop new idea potential through the exploration and research into new and emerging technologies.

MACE explores a variety of electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) capabilities to help users achieve electronic warfare (EW) dominance. This includes electronic intelligence (ELINT) capabilities, enhanced processing, exploitation, dissemination solutions, and EM solutions.

The MACE organization offers cybersecurity expertise to help others protect their sensitive data and infrastructure from cyber threats. The organization can test defenses through simulated attack vectors to help reveal critical vulnerabilities in a system, network, or code. Once threats are discovered, MACE offers remediation strategies and tactics to protect systems, networks, and code to ensure systems are safe from intrusion and compromise. MACE develops end-to-end cybersecurity and counterintelligence platforms and tests and evaluates commercial-off-the-shelf and government-off-the-shelf cyber capabilities.

MACE's advanced analytics works to develop algorithms and tools beyond existing artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities. These are developed through the experience of data collection and analysis to solve MACE's partners' problems and answer their questions. MACE offers analysis-as-a-service and the development of customer tools to solve those analytical problems, among others.

MACE works to optimize intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations through modular and mission-tailored aviation solutions. The organization helps its partners design, develop, and deliver systems integration and aerial ISR solutions. Further, the organization aims to develop and innovate new ISR capabilities across technology packages for C4ISR and C5ISR systems and sensor integration abilities.
