Defense organizations need to improve their IT support for missions in disconnected scenarios, according to IFS

15 Apr. (Portaltic/EP) –

The ‘software’ can become an ally of the military organizations to improve their IT support for when they are in areas with no signal, during missions in disconnected scenarios.

IFS, a global enterprise cloud software company, has delved into both the challenges and the main driving forces behind the growth of disconnected operations in the defense sector in its latest study.

As he explains, disconnected military operations are conducted in environments where there is no possibility of using communication networkswhich means that the military relies on technologies that allow it to remain operational without an Internet connection.

IFS research shows a gap between disconnected operations requirements and software support for them, making it increasingly difficult for military organizations maintain an accurate picture of your asset information in the field.

54 percent of respondents identified the need for keep information in sync during disconnected operations as a priority to achieve maximum capacity survival and the effectiveness of the mission, explains the pre-sales director at IFS, Gonzalo Valle, in a press release.

According to IFS, the ‘software’ supports military decisions when they are in areas without a signal, providing a version of the scenario by keeping the status of each asset synchronized. It also guarantees constant connectivity between a main operating base and distributed forward operating bases.

The company is a strategic ‘partner’ in the defense sector with work such as the one carried out for the United States Navy, from which it draws an example of this situation: “a Navy frigate that sails in the South Pacific, where it operates in a limited, intermittent, and disconnected bandwidth for much of his detachment, unless he’s using a satellite,” del Valle explains.
