Our Contribution
On behalf of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, APL is merging technical capabilities with acquisition strategy to mitigate adversary threats to command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) in the maritime, terrestrial, air, space, and cyber domains. The latest example is Pacific Pilot, which established a proven testing regime and results that offer the Department of Defense (DoD) new pathways to support the warfighter. The convergence of integrated networks enabling protected, resilient, and redundant pathways will provide a ubiquitous means to support global operations across the range of military operations. This network will also extend services to the tactical edge and provision remote management where necessary. Inclusion of enhanced program protection and security measures will ensure a robust and enduring capability for DoD and the government.
