CAE USA’s Digital Ecosystem to Deliver a Common Operational Picture

CAE recently announced that CAE USA has been awarded a contract by the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to lead integration efforts for the Special Operations Forces (SOF) Global Situational Awareness initiative. The contract is valued over US$135 million, including options.
USSOCOM has exercised the first option of the contract valued at more than US$19 million.
 
Last year, CAE USA was among several companies awarded an initial prototype contract to demonstrate the capability of leveraging a digital ecosystem to fuse data from a variety of sources to deliver a common operational picture (COP).  Following further evaluation of prototypes demonstrated during research and development, USSOCOM selected CAE USA to lead the integration and architecture development efforts under a programme called Mission Command System/Common Operational Picture (MCS/COP). 
 
The scalable next-generation Mission Command System will unify the SOF enterprise through the creation of an integrated common operational picture, which will deliver enhanced and improved global situational awareness.
 
Single Visualisation Platform
“We are pleased to be selected by the U.S. Special Operations Command to lead the Mission Command System Common Operational Picture development and integration efforts,” said Ray Duquette, President and General Manager, CAE USA.  “Combining decades of experience creating digital ecosystems with our multi-source data fusion and artificial intelligence/machine learning capabilities, CAE is providing a single visualisation platform to support collaborative command and control decision-making in real-time.” 
 
SOCOM’s Mission Command System will incorporate new solutions developed by CAE that integrate mission operations in a single synthetic environment.  
 
“The USSOCOM Mission Command System programme and our integrated digital ecosystem solution are directly related to CAE’s strategy to leverage our world-class modelling and simulation expertise beyond training to adjacent markets such as mission and operations support,” said Daniel Gelston, Group President, Defense & Security, CAE. “Integrating data analytics, artificial intelligence and digital immersion technologies into a synthetic environment has the ability to create an incredibly powerful tool for analysis, planning, and decision support.”
 
CAE USA will lead the architecture development and integration of SOCOM’s Mission Command System by developing and leveraging a digital ecosystem to provide enhanced global situational awareness.
