As technology has shifted from totally isolated, stove-piped monolithic systems to always-on, fully connected distributed systems that can be integrated dynamically with the push of a button the nation’s strategic nuclear triad has remained one of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) last remaining legacy thin-line and non-internet connected weapons systems. These monolithic systems that support the strategic warning, targeting and other critical aspects of the three legs of the nuclear triad still provide immense value across different military services and the intelligence community (IC), holding domain-centric information that supports the very operational constructs of executing and planning different missions across the military. However, the Air Force’s Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC), the Minuteman III (MMIII) intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system, and the larger DoD nuclear community cannot continue under this model if they are to deter today’s threats from our near peers and other hostile foreign nation state actors who are embracing these technological evolutions. The AFNWC and specifically the MMIII program must rapidly shift to a modern data synthesis approach that leverages a Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2) ecosystem, that has the ability to seamlessly analyze, fuse, and share the decades and petaflops of MMIII information stored across disparate systems into a single modern C2 system that supports all domains and all levels of war. Designing, developing, and deploying a data fabric platform for performance optimization is no small task. Fortunately, Omni Federal (Omni) can greatly accelerate the delivery of such platform to meet the mission needs of the AFNWC for the MMIII program by utilizing our experience and existing data fabric platform, SMACK. Omni’s growing successes is attributed to our ability to free and aggregate siloed data sources to curate real-time awareness while providing advanced analysis for system optimization to our customers. The foundation of our success lies in our customizable data platform and repository to rapidly add additional data domains and interfaces, support large volumes and variety of data, and perform rapid integration with various AI capabilities. Omni is proposing an adaptation of our SMACK Platform that will incorporate a secure data aggregation, metadata taxonomy and Zero-Trust framework in a tailored architecture called the Man O’War Platform (MoW) to democratize MMIII data and visualize it back to AFNWC users. Our ability to reuse core components of our data fabric platform will significantly accelerate the delivery of digital solutions while focusing resources towards zero trust framework, maximizing data utilization, overcoming limitations of analysis, and proposing user centric analytic techniques and proficiency prediction models.
